They gained some popularity recently with all the media reporting about them.

Taking over the former stall of the famous Hainanese curry rice, this place continue to attract long queue and full house with this new food option here.

Was here around 10+ in the morning and there’s a queue and I couldn’t find any seats at all. So I choose to takeaway instead.

It is surprisingly that their nasi lemak was actually not bad, considering they first time venturing into hawker.

Their ikan bilis actually comes with 2 option, the traditional non-spicy or the spicy one. The spicy one actually glazed with sticky sugar and chilli paste.

The drumstick perhaps felt a bit normal, although it remain the crunchy skin.

MIMC Jeju Tangerine Pound Cake - moist and soft texture. The tanginess was well balanced with the sweetness from the icing

Set comes with DIY matcha beverage, and a dessert to pair with. Dessert served was matcha azuki roll cake, which comes with red bean fillings, red bean paste & fresh fruits by the side. A great perk me up after meal

The beef patties, made from grass-fed Aberdeen Angus neck, were already plenty beefy on their own, but 2280 Burger injects a boost of flavour with the addition of beef garum to the patties.

Beside their signature porridge, they also served some interesting sides like this one.

The you tiao is stuffed with fish cake, creating another texture to it. Order one piece is enough for 2 person to enjoy.

The chef behind the kitchen used to work in another popular place, before venture out and open his own shop at the same neighbourhood.

You could expect a very smooth and wok hey taste of porridge.

Old Shifu Charcoal Porridge opened a few months ago and it’s by the former chef of famous Ah Chiang Porridge that’s located a few streets away. I had high hopes for this place since I’m a fan of Ah Chiang but was left feeling a little disappointed. For one, the porridge here was on the blander side and I had to add quite a copious amount of soya sauce to make up for it. I guess the good thing is that it probably means they don’t add MSG. I did love their ginger chicken and Thai-style tofu. If only their porridge was seasoned better!

Visited this new butchery-cum-bistro concept; the bistro arm being named as The Butcher’s Dining. They had taken over the former premises of EVERY at Havelock Road, and is situated right beside Ya Hua Bak Kut Teh. Being a Korean-run establishment, the butchery-cum-grocer wing retails marinated meats, chilled ready-to-eat fare, condiments and lifestyle products, while the bistro wing offers an all-day dining menu for patrons to dine-in. The bistro comes decked in a modern and sleek industrial style — featuring marble-esque tables and furnishings with wood accents, whilst also adorned with plants for a touch of nature.

The all-day dining menu features a rather limited menu during the time we made our visit; comprises of two types of burgers and gimbap, they were also serving a special dish of Spicy Pork Rice to cater to those who prefers having rice for their meal. We settled for the Spicy Pulled Pork Burger, which featured elements such as Korean spicy pulled pork, carrot rafe, cabbage slaw, red onion. Patrons also get to choose between mesclun salad or sweet potato chips to come alongside their burger — we opted for the latter. We found the burger to be very well done; pretty fitting to be an offering from a butchery. For one, we really loved the pulled pork here; the fibrous meats were especially meaty and sufficiently moist, well-marinated in a Korean sauce (Ssamjang?) that brings a note of sweetness and manageable spiciness that makes it so flavourful — a notch above the usual pulled pork that features BBQ sauce as a marinade. When coupled with the carrot (grated carrot salad), there is this tangy hint akin to that of pickled julienned vegetables found in Banh Mi; juicy, crunchy with a slight tang that cuts through all that meatiness. Here, the bottom bun seems buttered while the top bun seems to be smeared with mustard for an earthy note. The buns were also light and pillowy soft; a very wholesome package when had altogether.

Apart from the burger, we were equally impressed with the MIMC Iced Korean Plum Tea and the MIMC Jeju Tangerine Pound Cake that we had tried — the former being a very refreshing tea option that lightly tangy that cleanses the palate, while the latter carried a light but prominent hint of citrus-y zing that kept us going. Always a fan of concepts like these, where the butchery is able to showcase their meats through their dine-in operations — a great way to educate the masses on the various cuts and types of meats out there. A space that meat lovers should most certainly check out!

Nothing wrong with bland clear food, some days you just want a simple soul food to clear your system after heavy feasting days.

Pretty stoked to have heard that 2280 Burger had recently opened their doors at 213 Henderson Road; the building is just located a short distance away from Bukit Merah Bus Interchange, and is opened by the same folks behind Burger Labo at Malan Road within Gillman Baracks — also the same folks that had brought us The Naked Finn. Service is pretty much self-service here, with burgers being made to order; order through the self-order kiosk and collect the order at the window once your order number has been called. Currently there is only the 2280 Burger available on the menu, with a choice of a single or double patty variant whilst the only sides here are the standard fries. Folks can opt for house-brewed tea, milkshakes churned using ice-creams from Apiary, while specialty coffee is brewed using beans roasted by Tiong Hoe Specialty Coffee.

Opting for the single patty variant of the 2280 Burger, the 2280 Burger may look like a very basic cheeseburger, but it does its job especially well — beef patty, sliced cheese, pickled onions all sandwiches in between the two buns; really liked how well the patty is being executed here. The beef patty may not be the same as what Burger Labo offers in terms of size, but the 100gm patty is just the right size for those who aren’t looking to get overly stuffed here. It’s beautifully brined and marinated; the texture being more on the lean side but still provide a good bite — all savoury, chunky and slightly crusted from the grilling process. The melted cheese atop seals the deal, and the pickled onions seems to have been mixed with bits of pickles for that tangy, refreshing crunch that cuts through the meat, while the buns are sufficiently light and fluffy. A very well put-together cheeseburger that ranks high up in the charts for me.

Burger Labo has been known for their stellar burgers which are of a gourmet nature — the burgers there featuring fancier composition and elements, but 2280 Burger is an establishment that seems to be catered towards the masses; more of a fuss-free spot that makes for artisanal offering pitched against the upmarket fast food options that had made their entry into the F&B scene in recent years. Hoping that they are able to add on more variation of meats for their burgers soon — perhaps a chicken, pork, or fish option that would cater to non-beef eaters so that more can get to enjoy their stellar creations in time to come!

Located in Henderson Industrial Park at Blk 213, #01-10, they offer a compact menu at the moment consisting of beef burgers (choose between single or double patties dressed in the default combo of cheese, housemade sauce and pickled onions unless you opt out), really crispy fries, and for drinks - it’s milkshake supplied by @apiary.sg, coffee from @tionghoespecialtycoffee, house-brewed iced teas and beer.
The meat for 2280 Burger’s patties is ground twice, retaining a coarseness for extra bite. Chef @markerpenn of @nakedfinn created the garum to season it, so it’s really umami. We tried both versions of the burger and I’d recommend going for the single if you want something balanced and the double if you’re a hard-core appreciator of meat like me 😁 (Manager Widjaya had kindly acquiesced to our request of adding a fried egg but that was only because they happened to have a few on hand).
Prices are lower here than at @burgerlabo, so yup, this is undeniably good value quality burgers we are talking about.
