Hambaobao are back! Trailblazing hawker burger pioneers who carved out a fusion burger niche for themselves, and drew in ferverous crowds lining up for their buns before their hiatus.

Candidly, I always found their burgers good but not worth the insane wait. However, this 𝗖𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗽𝘆 𝗣𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗕𝗲𝗹𝗹𝘆 ($8) at their new Jalan Besar space? Exceeded all my previous memories. Crazy crackle in the siew yoke that thunderously crumbled under toothy duress, almost like crackers collapsing effortlessly.

Imbued with the feisty kick of hoisin sauce and mustard, each subsequent bite intensified in addictiveness. Simply unadulterated and sultry texture porn — especially when paired with the fluffy, chunky bite of their 𝗛𝗮𝗻𝗱-𝗖𝘂𝘁 𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 ($2.50)
