Black Tap

Introduced on 27th January this year, their Vegan Black N' White Cakeshake ($23++) consists of a 'soy-based chocolate shake with housemade vanilla frosting and mini chocolate chips on the rim, that comes topped with a slice of black-and-white cake, rice-based whipped cream, and chocolate drizzle'. Honestly, I am not a fan of their chocolate shake as I expected the chocolate to come out stronger and richer. Nevertheless, their 𝘃𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗻 𝗰𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗯𝗹𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗕𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗧𝗮𝗽 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿. Most of the cake was moist and only subtly sweet. Also, despite Black Tap claiming that it is topped with a 'rice-based whipped cream', two of us that day agreed that we tasted a strong scent of coconut which worked really well with the moist cake. The only issue I had with it was the layers of fondant icing between the cake layers and on top of the cake. It had a sickishly sweet saccharine flavour that 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝘃𝗼𝗶𝗱 𝗶𝘁 𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘁𝘀.

Trying out both their falafel patty (Deep-fried mashed chickpeas) and their lamb patty in a salad, 𝗯𝗼𝘁𝗵 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝗮 𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 to the otherwise beef overload I was starting to get from the burgers. I should emphasise that 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗖𝗿𝗮𝗳𝘁 𝗕𝘂𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗱𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗮 𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝘄𝗻 and is probably targeted at those craving for something lighter. Essentially, they are made by stealing the patty from the Craft Burgers and putting it on top off a generous plate of salad. It's not a separate salad dish as what I was expecting, hence the high price point.

Despite The Cantonese BBQ Burger ($24++) being a creation exclusive to Black Tap Singapore's outlet and catered to local taste, this was 𝗺𝘆 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗳𝗮𝘃𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗲 burger. While the sambal BBQ sauce may have been an innovative fusion to say the least, the two bold elements sadly were not balanced and I tasted more of the tangy notes from the BBQ sauce than the sweet and spicy sambal we've come to know and love. Also, while the Cantonese Mayo with Black Bean and Garlic did had discernible earthy notes from the black bean, similar to what you'll find in Chinese cuisine, it just seemed to have been overwhelmed by the rest of the elements or simply did not complement the other dishes at all. The complete lack of harmony within the burger is a real pity for a creation with so much potential and I'm unlikely to order it again.

Guac was super fresh and went well with the warm tortillas!

Crafted using high quality vegan alternatives such as apple sauce for a perfectly moist cake. The soy-based chocolate shake is poured into a tall glass with house-made vanilla frosting and mini chocolate chips on the rim, and topped with a slice of black and white cake, whipped cream and chocolate drizzle.

Visited Black Tap for dinner while on a staycation at MBS. The portions here are humongous! 😱

Shared a burger with a friend and the portion was just nice. Am not a huge fan of burgers so I can’t comment much on it, but my friends commented that the burgers were pretty good. I can say for sure that the sweet potato fries that came with it were great 😝

Black Tap is pretty famous for their Crazy Shakes (probably because of how Instagrammable it is?). We ordered a Cookie Shake to share amongst the four of us and we could barely finish half of it 😂 It is truly sweetness overload so please get more people to share it if you wanna order!
