Rambürger (Paya Lebar Square)

It’s been eighty four years since I last had a ramly burger-okay fine, the last ramly burger I had was in the last pasar malam (night market) in early 2020, before the corona robbed us of normalcy. Still, it’s been a long ass while since my last ramly fix, and I’m pretty grateful that I’ve discovered @ramburgersg.⠀

At four bucks for a regular beef ramly and extra two for an extra patty, this burger isn’t that much more expensive than the classic pasar malam version. Plus, you can make it a meal with curly fries & a drink for a grand total of…nine dollars. Everything is a carbon copy of the old & beloved greasy street food classic, from the mass produced buns, to the highly processed patties that (hopefully) contain beef and are pretty sus because of the odd colouring, the omelette that serves as a nice little golden blanket for the patties, and the chili sauce, black pepper sauce, mayonnaise & ketchup which exist in harmony.⠀
⠀
Still, there was something distinctly missing from Ramburger’s ramlys. Perhaps it’s because it ain’t anywhere near saucy enough, or because it’s missing a secret spice mix that’s shaken liberally over the patties while grilling, or it might be because I’m eating a ramly burger while stone cold sober. Come to think of it, this is the first time I’ve ever consumed a ramly burger while not absolutely shitfaced drunk & hammered at two in the morning.⠀

Still, it’s a passably delectable burger at the price it commands, and I’m definitely going back for the prawn burger. Also, curly fries. They got me curled around their finger, I tell ya what.

It tastes okay and quite normal as a ramly burger. The beef patty is so heavily seasoned that it doesn't taste even like beef.

BUT it costs $11.50 with the following breakdown:
- $4 for single patty beef burger
- +$3 for a set (fries + canned drink)
- +$2 for double patty
- +$2.50 for mentaiko fries

Not worth it in my honest opinion. And we waited 30mins for the meal (+ travelling time home before we get to eat it, not so fantastic anymore). Wasn't ramly burger meant to be a quick and efficient thing as per how it's done at pasar malam?

Probably our fault that we didn't check the menu properly, but we weren't aware that the spicy chicken burger does not come in the ramly burger style with the egg wrap and sauces and all. So it's already quite disappointing to start with.

And then it's called a Spicy Chicken burger, but I wasn't able to taste the heat at all, which is even more disappointing.

This single patty is $4 ala carte and it can be made to double with additional $2, while a set meal with fries and drinks is $6.50.

Waited 30mins for this, really ain't quite worth it. I'd rather get McChicken burger at $2.50.
