At the entrance of Plaza Sing, find this famous burger joint hailing from the US. Have their Little Bacon Cheeseburger ($15) featuring a single beef patty, crisp applewood-smoked bacon and freshly-baked buns. Choose your toppings, or simply go 'All The Way'. All burgers are a la carte, so complete your meal with their spicy Little Cajun Fries ($7) that are pretty darn perfect. If you have a sweet tooth, share the Five Guys Shake ($10) — great combinations include the peanut butter + salted caramel + bacon or strawberry + malted milk.

Mark this spot down for lunch with colleagues in MBFC. The Beef Quesadilla ($11.50) with melted cheese is foolproof, but also try their Naked Burrito ($8.90) that sees a mountain of ingredients buried in guac and a spicy picante Habanero sauce. Burppler Sheryl Sherbakes recommends saving some space for their Churros ($8) served with a chocolate dip — best eaten hot!
