Seems like there are quite a number of burger places which had opened their doors during the Circuit Breaker period — have came across the ones from Dirty Buns on social media multiple times, and being in Phase 2 now means I can finally try them out at Sprout Hub at City Sprouts.
Sharing the same kiosk as Okome, Dirty Buns’ menu is relatively lean with only a beef patty option or a fried chicken option available. The DB Classic (Single) is essentially the single patty variant of a classic cheeseburger; there is also a double patty variant available for those who intend to go big.
Featuring elements such as juicy ground beef, cheddar cheese and their secret Dirty Sauce in between “fresh buns”, these burgers are well sought after especially during the Circuit Breaker phase due to its limited production daily. This offers no surprises — the sort of cheeseburger one would go for if they are looking for a simple, no-frills affair considering it’s simple set-up; I how soft and fluffy the burger buns were, and barely felt overwhelming, while the beef patty is simple yet refined — a handmade patty that provides enough bite, yet with a slightly crushed exterior from the grilling without being too veiny not fatty. The beef patty was also barely gamey — sprinkled with pepper that helps to further elevate the flavours of the patty, whilst being juicy with every single bite and partially drenched in melted cheddar cheese for a slight savouriness. Could not really make up what goes into the Dirty Sauce; though I am guessing it’s probably a mix that involves Dill(?) and Mustard(?); all that with leafy greens for a refreshing crunch.
Whilst available as a set with drinks (choice of Coca-Cola or 100 Plus), ordering the fries and burger ala-carte shaves $1 off the bill (and also provides for stomach space to go for the specialty coffee from PyRoast just beside). Fast-food lovers may lament on how the fries here lack the seasoning of salt, but the skin-on fries kind of reminds me of the Fairy Fries served at now-defunct Hambaobao — simple, and full of potato and pretty clean-tasting overall — quite enjoyable as a healthier, and more artisan type of fry.
