This izakaya place is conveniently located near the MRT Station and easily accessible. I came here with my girlfriend and we both enjoyed the food! The skewers were large and delicious (we ordered the tiger prawns, ribeye beef and pork belly + leek). The cheese mentaiko scallop were also plump and had a nice smokey flavour. Definitely a unique izakaya experience in Singapore!
I don’t remember the Happy Days burger ($20 nett) existing the last time I paid a visit to @thegoodburgersg, but I’m glad it does now. It’s basically a cheeseburger decked out in barbecue sauce & onion rings, except that it’s essentially a veggie burger.⠀
⠀
The real highlight here are those onion rings. Due to the beer batter used, it tastes & smells slightly sweet & doughy, almost like a donut. The batter is sensational, as it is a thin, charmingly crunchy crust that encases the ultra thick ring of sliced onion. The batter is an attractive golden brown, while the onion within is supple & translucent, just starting to lose its natural crunch, which is reinforced by the aforementioned batter.⠀
⠀
The BBQ sauce does a fantastic job of disguising the meatless Impossible patty as an average beef patty. It’s probably a store bought sauce, but it does its job excellently. As with all the other Impossible burgers, you must order a double patty stacker if you want to experience full satisfaction. The patties are loose in texture, which means that a single burger is gonna leave you high and dry on the outskirts of Flavortown.⠀
⠀
Yes, the double is twenty six dollars, but if you absolutely positively gotta have a veggie burger craving scratched, then this is the way.⠀

Thanks once again for hosting us, @thegoodburgersg & @burpple!
The real reason why I accepted the invite to @thegoodburgersg was to have another Night In Bangkok ($20 for a single Impossible patty). I found it to be the best burger the last time I was at The Goodburger, albeit with a lot of unfulfilled potential. This time, the One Night In Bangkok was vastly improved.⠀
⠀
The main downer about the earlier iteration of this burger was the lack of secret Thai-inspired sauce, and The Goodburger has laid it on extra thick this time to my delight. The luscious lemongrass powered concoction is satisfyingly sapid and slightly chunky thanks to the inclusion of chopped onions within the sauce, leasing it’s tantalising Thai characteristics to the Impossible patty. ⠀
⠀
As per the last time, the buns are absolute perfection. Shockingly, they’re just plain white bread buns. Not brioche, not potato, not anything fancy, just ordinary buns fashioned into something out of a delightful dream.⠀
⠀
Still, I do think that this meatless burger could be elevated a further step closer to nirvana with the inclusion of sliced red onions pickled in a distinctly Thai vinaigrette mix, or some sharp & spicy green mango mix on the burger for more textural variety. I do believe that The Goodburger is arguably the best Impossible burger merchant round town, mainly because it’s their specialty and sole focus. And when you focus down something as hard as these folks, you tend to get good.⠀
⠀
Thanks for the invite, @thegoodburgersg & @burpple!
Me, a bonafide om-nom-nom-nivore, having a completely meatless burger? Impossible. (See what I did there?) No, really, I’m going meatless for a meal, courtesy of the folks at @thegoodburgersg. Goodburger is flipping up a special Damn Shiok! burger to commemorate Earth Month, and it does live up to its name.⠀
⠀
The sauce in a typical Damn Shiok! burger is supposed to be a rendang rendition, but it’s much closer to a dry red curry due to the balance of the spice blend. That ain’t a bad thing, because the sauce is still superbly savoury & scintillatingly spicy. As with the last time, you definitely gotta order a double to approach the same kind of gastronomic satisfaction that a real beef patty would provide, as the Impossible patties are looser & considerably less dense than actual beef.⠀
⠀
Pair that up with rings of sweet red onion and the competently charred Impossible patty, and you will easily forget the fact that this is a veggie burger with zero meat in it. Thanks for having us, @thegoodburgersg & @burpple!
The xiao long bao ($5 for 7) from Flourful Delight are huge! They are definitely bigger than the usual ones I have in various restaurants and the price is very reasonable given the generous portion. The skin is thin, the pork filling is well-seasoned and each bite brings a burst of flavourful broth. Good stuff!
This Italian eatery is buzzing with customers every weekend. After having a go at their signature dishes, I can understand why.
This is the oh-so-famous porcetta, baked pork belly ($9). I absolutely enjoy this pork belly roll. The skin is thin and crispy, the layer of fennel adds a great balance to the think meaty cuts. The mustard is light yet provides a sour spicy element to the pork, cutting through that density. I highly recommend this!

High Mountain Pouchong Tea ($3.20) (50% Sugar) (Sakura Jelly - $1) (Less 🧊) I felt that the tea got that weird taste tbh (never tried it b4) and sakura jelly was quite chewy and not that hard.
