DeBurp at DeBurg

 

Have you ever felt so much meat in your bite that you felt like laughing? Well I have, several times, and this was one of those times.

So it was payday and we decided on a last minute trip down to De Burg after passing by in the day. Heard much about it but didn't really know where it was so it's a good time to go over.

 

It's a typical kopitiam setting minus the weird uncles and stuff. A quick look around and I see that pretty much all the stalls here aren't selling your usual kopitiam bak chor mee and stuff. (more on that later).

 

 

Went ahead to get myself a 200gm Wagyu Beef Bacon Cheesburger. It's pretty big and in my opinion, a proper man-sized patty (some might argue that it's not enough for them, I say good luck keeping that belly down).

The whole Wagyu labelling didn't help my pockets, though. Paid close to 28 bucks for it. I don't pay much attention to price so long as it's nice. All in all, it ain't cheap for the premium. If you're not all crazy on beef quality I suppose you could get the 100gm regular patty for 15+. There's a regular 200 for 18 if I remember it right. ANYWAYS, on to the important stuff.

First of all... OK, I get that burgers are your pride. But the plating's kinda sad, don't you think? I'm talking about the side dishes :\ Those small little has brown pops things (think they're called tater tots or something) are small enough but they're kinda low on numbers... Or maybe it's just me being greedy. Tastes great though, crispy on the outside. Soft and potato-ish on the inside. Salad was meh, but I don't care too much for those.

Done with the small stuff, let's talk about the big stuff. The burger was great! Really juicy, very filling and everything went really well with each other. Let me try to go layer by layer, starting form the inside.

Meat - Really nice texture. Super juicy and flavorful. It's got a nice coat of cheese that keeps things from flaking around too much, of course with some extra taste.

Veges - layered up very nicely, providing a nice crunch to your bite so you don't just feel mush and mush followed by mush. They also help to balance your bite so it doesn't overwhelm your mouth with meatiness :)

Bread - Most underappreciated part of the burger. It's a regular piece of burger bun, yes, but it's necessary because of the soaking properties. Whatever juice flows out as you bite, that bread soaks it in. Good stuff.

Of course, what would be an Ang Moh meal if it doesn't come with good beer to wash down those sins? Luckily, there's scneider weisse and erdingers on draft. $10 for a pint! (NOW THAT'S A PRICE I'D REMEMBER)

About the other shops, we didn't try them all but took note of a few. There's a desert stall called eskimo, a seafood stall with pretty good chips from the looks of it (we had a bucket of mussels from the stall. Pretty decent and tastes exactly what you'd expect of mussels). There's also another stall in the corner that had enticingly fat crispy pork knuckles that I'm definitely going back there for. DAMN MY SMALL STOMACH!!!
