Famous New York burger chain Shake Shack made its highly anticipated Singapore debut at Jewel Changi Airport on April 17 by opening to a snaking queue. When the outlet opened at 10 am, half an hour before it officially opened, an orderly line of more than 90 people had already formed. The queue saw an estimated average of 200 people through the day, with an average waiting time of 1½ hours.

It has been widely reported from social media that Shake Shack has been attracting long queues ever since it opened. If you are heading down, be prepared to wait at least an hour or more for a taste of their famous burgers. In the meantime, if you do not want to queue but are craving for artisanal burgers, here are 10 places in Singapore you should check out!

2. Fatboy's The Burger Bar
image

What started as a burger joint along Upper Thomson Road eight years ago has grown into a chain with six outlets in Singapore, and branches in Kuala Lumpur, Beijing and Phnom Penh too.

And the reason why Fatboy’s The Burger Bar has been such a success is simple – its burgers are very tasty. Specialty burgers include The Elvis (bacon stuffed pork patty, grilled bananas and creamy peanut butter on a honey oat bun, $11), Fat Basterd (double beef chuck patties, chewy bacon, cheddar cheese, a fried egg and homemade Fatboy’s BBQ sauce on sesame seed bun, $19.80) and Bolly Wooly (juicy lamb patty, on a bed of lettuce and tomato, smothered with homemade curry remoulade and topped mango chutney on a honey oat bun, $12).

You can also choose to Build Your Own Burger (BYOB), which gives you over 25 toppings, 11 sauces and four types of buns and patties to choose from so there’s always a way to try something new.

Fatboy’s The Burger Bar is at various locations. Visit www.fatboys.sg

3. Mezza9

4. Wolf Burgers
image

No, there’s no wolf meat served here; the moniker was chosen because the burgers at Wolf Burgers are “so good you will wolf them down”.

The beef patties are ground and shaped daily and with no preservatives added. But beef isn’t the only thing on the menu, there are a couple of chicken options too, as well as a vegetarian option, the Tofu Miso Veggie Burger.

There are some exciting choices for fries here, including Kimchi Cheese Fries, Truffle Parmesan Fries, Smores Fries and Sweet Potato Fries.

And try the Horlicks Vanilla Milkshake, which is topped with cornflake crumble and is a crowd favourite.

Wolf’s Burgers is at Pasarbella Suntec City and Changi City Point. Visit www.wolfburgers.com

5. Hida Wagyu Beef Burgers
image

Burgers made with Hida Wagyu beef, known for its marbling and tenderness, take centre stage. The beef comes from black-haired Japanese cattle raised in the Gifu prefecture. For a local twist, try the Nyonya Hida Wagyu Beef Burger, which features a patty infused with spices, grilled pineapple, braised mushroom and cheddar cheese, complete with lemongrass turmeric buns. There is also the Japanese Hida Wagyu Beef Burger served with wasabi mayonnaise and pickled daikon. The Pacific Wagyu Beef Burger is packed with bacon strips and eggplant cooked into caponata tucked in between charcoal buns.

Each burger set, served with crispy potato bravas and a garden salad, is priced at $35++. If you are dining in groups of four to six, you can take on the 12-inch Beastly Burger ($190, right), which contains a 1.2 kg Hida Wagyu beef patty sitting on a bed of lettuce, zucchini and tomatoes.

Orders for the Beastly Burger must be made 24 hours in advance.

Hida Wagyu Beef Burgers are available from October 1 to November 30 at Atrium and Pacific Marketplace (Level 1), Pan Pacific Singapore, 7 Raffles Boulevard. Call 6826 8240 or e-mail dining.ppsin@panpacific.com

The Bun DMC ($16++) is inspired by the burgers that executive chef Adam Penney had as a child. The burger features watermelon rind relish, Three Buns’s own blend of mayo, with caraway, ketchup and a hint of sriracha.

8. 25 Degrees Singapore
image

A branch of a chain that originated in Los Angeles, 25 Degrees Singapore is a burger and liquor bar that adds a sophisticated twist to the American burger bar concept.

Its name is apt too, as 25 degrees is the precise temperature difference between a raw and a well-done hamburger.

You’ll get a taste of the American West Coast in the heart of Singapore and you can also craft your own burger so why not try something different with every visit?

Also, it’s open till 1am from Sundays to Thursdays and till 3am on Fridays and Saturdays, making it a great choice for late-night munchies.

25 Degrees Singapore is at 200 Middle Road, Hotel G Singapore. Visit www.facebook.com/25DegreesSG/

Cheeseburgers take centrestage here and the Omakase Burger way includes using 100% USDA Choice-grade premium cuts, which are then ground, blended and hand-formed into patties.

They also use locally-baked artisanal buns, which you’ll appreciate as soon as you bite into them. There are five types of cheeseburgers (priced from $14.90) but fret not, chicken lovers, as there’s one for you too – the Omakase Chicken Sandwich ($14.90).

And there’s also always a Vegetarian Burger, which rotates often so check with staff if you’d like to order this. If you’re really hungry, turn any burger into a double for just $5.95.
