Omakase Burger

After hearing all the Raves about this "Must-Try" burger on the internet, we decided that this is a trip we need to make.

But naturally we weren't the only ones who had that idea... There was a long queue just to enter, and the proprietor was politely chasing away customers who were in the order queue if they did not already have a seating. Full House!

Thankfully we did. So we ordered. Of course you have to try the Signature Omakase Burger, whilst my other choice was the Bacon Cheeseburger. Just the burger alone costs $13.90 and $15.90 respectively! And the burger is tiny! To make it a meal you had to top up an additional $5.90 for Fries and a Soft Drink. Anything that deviates from this... Top Up!

So you paid... now you Wait! 














To wait 40mins for Burger and Fries?! Not so "Fast" this food is...



While waiting, we "indulged" in some reminiscence of good ol A&W days with this Root Beer Float ($5.90).













And so after 40mins, the lights on the Q system flashed, and we dashed!

The Burgers were barely more than the size of your fists!
Nonetheless, we went for the Signature Omakase Burger first.

Yes, the beef patty was done well, sufficiently pink. And with a bite, it is soft and melts-in-your-mouth. 
But I felt that there was just no firmness that held the patty in place, not on the grilled ends of the patty nor on the bites of the buns. Everything was just boringly soft. There was no contrast in textures, no bite, no chew. Not to mention that the buns tasted like those KFC serves on the sides. 

Apart from this softness, there was a general lack of flavour. I could barely tasted the cheese nor the "secret" Omakase dressing. (Perhaps too secret.)










The situation was the same for the Bacon Cheeseburger. Except that the strips of Bacon might have salvaged it a bit more. It improved the flavours and the textures.

Probably the one thing I really enjoyed were the sides - the Cheese Fries and Onion Rings.

The Verdict:

Probably the last time I will patron this place.
  • Too long a wait; 
  • Too pricey; 
  • Burger is too simple and small; 
  • Insufficient Textures and Bite; 
  • Lacking in Flavours.
