I’ve been super excited to try Beyond Meat’s patties but couldn’t find them in Fairprice Finest when I went, so although I was drawn in by the signature TSB Burger, all thoughts of ordering that were thrown to the wind once the Impossible Burger caught my eye.

The burger comprises a Beyond Meat patty with a slice of melted cheese, tomatoes, romaine lettuce, sandwiched between brioche pepper buns. It’s also served with some house-made chips.

At first glance, the burger looks just like any regular beef burger. The likeness is uncanny. Tastewise, the patty is incredible. It’s moist, and the texture is virtually indistinguishable from a real meat patty when eaten as a whole burger. I’m not a huge beef burger fanatic so maybe I’m not such a great judge for meat texture, but I think it could fool most people. I absolutely loved this burger, and I’d order it over a regular beef patty in a heartbeat. The brioche pepper buns add a special bit of pepper kick, which was great. I wasn’t such a fan of the pickles in the burger, so I ended up taking them out.

The chips were ok, not super special but they were crispy and not too oily which is pretty much all you can ask for in potato chips anyway.
