25 Degrees Singapore

We should #supportlocal hidden gems in these times, so I'm strongly advocating for @25degreesinsingapore once again.

When they are on top of their game, their 𝗡𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟭 ($14) is still my numero uno — a thicc and juicy slab of patty embraced by pillowy buns, accented by beautifully caramelized onions. The gorgonzola and thousand island sauce added an one-of-a-kind spunk atop an irresistible umami overload. They are doing takeaway now too!

Was pretty enticed by the promotion poster for this item, which happens to be a special that is only served in the month of February. Whilst looking pretty decent, the item didn’t leave much of a good impression — no doubt the waffle is decent, and wafts of a fragrant buttermilk aroma, but the entire item felt marred by being pretty dry overall; the Mac & Cheese Waffle featuring bits of macaroni within the waffle that took much effort to chew, while the melted cheese had also pretty much dried up in the waffle batter that makes certain parts of the waffle feel relatively stiff (particularly in the middle). The fried chicken unfortunately suffered from the same problems as the waffle; whilst crisp on the exterior, the fried chicken, though brilliantly brined, was a tad dry — lacking tenderness and juiciness. Thankfully the sunny side-up was still on point; runny yolk and an egg white with crisp edges, which helped things a little with the maple syrup provided by the side for some moisture and sweetness — still wasn’t enough to save the day, however.

PS: It really feels like brunch isn’t their forte here; the 25 Degrees Breakfast was probably the most blah breakfast plate I have had; cocktail sausages, hash brown (i.e. Tater Tots) and scrambled eggs that is just a lazy attempt looking like a messy rendition of fried eggs — so much I skipped taking photos of it given how uninspiring it was; never again ...

This place is famous for their burgers, sure. My husband loves them. I find them to be too bread-y. But I finally found this item on the menu! Long hot dog wrapped in bacon (so good), topped with tummy sauce, beans, etc. And the bun is buttery. Will order this again! #indulge

The beef patty is so juicy! The burgers here r huge and affordable. I will return for this 😉

I've lost count of the number of times I've been here — my love for the place is apparent in its status as my unequivocal reply to burger recommendations.

Their basics are (almost) always pinpoint perfect. A succulent patty bursting with juices, topped with impeccably caramelised onions and crispy bacon, then sandwiched between buttery and fluffy buns — perfect foundation for a great burger. It also packs plenty of personality, with the piquancy of thousand island sauce and sharp umami of gorgonzola blending with the beef juiced for a decadent eruption of of flavours.

Perhaps they don't reach the heights of Burger Labo, and they do have minor inconsistencies, but when it works, you get a damn good and exciting burger at an affordable price point. Easily in my top 3 of Singapore.

Beef patties with caramalised onions drizzled w crescenze, prelibato gorgonzola (basically blue cheese). Slightly salty cause of the bacon, yet a pretty decent good burger that I would go back for.

Yellowfin tuna burger was the other burger that I tried. You can totally taste the fish within the patties. But the beef is 3x better than the fish imo. But dont get me wrong, the fish burger is still good for non-beef diners.

Overall: ♥️♥️♥️♥️
