As most consumers in Singapore choose chicken as their number one choice of meat at most fast food restaurants! And also in order to celebrate Burger King's(BK) superior tasting range of 10 chicken products, BK has declare today, 16 February 2012 (promotion is valid from 11am till 10pm) as "BK All Chicken Day"!

Interesting and innovative press kit for this BK All Chicken Day! It look just like those Kung Fu movie Manual.

{MUST TRY} Love the Flame-grilled "Mushroom Swiss Tendergrill Chicken Burgers" with 100% premium chicken thigh meat that is so tender and juicy. On top of the chicken are generous amount of sauteed mushrooms and melted Swiss cheese sandwich between the classic sesame seed bun.

{SOMETHING FOR A CHANGE} For those who demand a bigger crunch and spicier kick from their chicken sandwich, the "Spicy Panini TenderCrisp Chicken Sandwich" would a a great choice. The meat patty is fried with crisp batter that is packed with a fiery spice mix of capsicum, garlic powder, rosemary and chilli oil which would definitely "spice" up your day!

{All-time Favourite} This is one of our regular orders during our visit to Burger King. Love the crispy breast chicken that is topped with shredded lettuce and creamy mayo that between their long sesame seed bun.

{NEW ITEM} Bite-size pieces of crispy and favlourful "Chicken Tenders" are now available available with 3 great dipping such as BBQ, Sweet and Sour, and Asian Kung Pao.What interest me more is their Asian Kung Pao sauce which is full of spice and kick with soy, garlic, ginger and sesame flavour which is something new for a change.

* Just a gentle reminder, NO beef/fish products will be sold at ALL stores on 16 February 2012 except Burger King Airport stores.

The Mushroom Swiss from BURGER KING

To celebrate the success of BK Mushroom Swiss Burgers BURGER KING® as well as reminding everyone that this signature product of BK has grown to become one of Singapore’s favourite burger! Burger King is giving away a FREE BK Sundae (choice of caramel, chocolate or strawberry) with any purchase of a BK Doubles Mushroom Swiss Beef Burger large meal @ S$7.75* or Mushroom Swiss Tendergrill Chicken Burger large meal @ S$8.25*. With The King You Can, enjoy it from this July till 3rd August 2011.

*pricing varies at selected outlets

BK SINGLES OR DOUBLES MUSHROOM SWISS BEEF BURGER

Indulgent flavour and quality comes together in mouthfuls of BK Doubles Mushroom Swiss Beef Burger which nestled between a soft sesame-sprinkled bun with two juicy, 100% flame-grilled beef patties that blanketed in two slices of melted Swiss cheese and doused with their signature velvety-smooth mushroom sauce. But if this is too filling for ladies, perhaps you could go for their BK Singles Mushroom Swiss Beef Burger which delivers the same great flavour in a single-patty form.

MUSHROOM SWISS TENDERGRILL CHICKEN BURGER

Personally I would prefer Mushroom Swiss Tendergrill Chicken Burger which is cradled on a soft corn-dusted bun with succulent and tender 100% flame-grilled premium chicken thigh meat patty enveloped in melted Swiss cheese together with the all-time favourite silky mushroom sauce from BK, fresh lettuce and a generous spread of creamy mayonnaise. I am sure you won't be able to resists this temptation just like me.

BK Steakhouse Burger

Recently BURGER KING has launched a new menu where patrons can enjoy a steakhouse dining experience at majority of their outlets island wide. With the new Loaded Steakhouse Burger and Steakhouse Burger, beef lovers would able to discover a new level of satisfaction in a premium steak dinner at lower cost.

A few days ago after passing some souvenir to friends in town, we decided to grab some quick lunch before heading off to some  Christmas Shopping in Orchard area. And since we are around Dhoby Ghuat area, my boy suggests that we could have BURGER KING at Plaza Singapura for lunch. So guess what we ordered!

Yes!!! After scanning through their menu and tossing between the two "NEW" launched Burgers, we finally settle for this "Steakhouse Burger" that comes with the following ingredients:-

New Steakhouse Burger

- 4” Corn-dusted premium bakery Bun
- Premium Angus Beef Patty (4 Oz), flame-grilled
- A.1. ® Thick and Hearty Steak Sauce
- Crispy Onions
- American Cheese (2 slices)
- Creamy Mayonnaise
- Crunchy Lettuce and Red Ripe Tomatoes (2 slices)

Price: S$5.95 for Ala Carte 
Price: S$7.95 meal set (comes with medium fries/onion rings and medium soft drink)


But if you are looking for something more filling and without vegetables topping such as lettuce and tomato, perhaps you can consider the "Loaded Steakhouse Burgers" that comes with similar ingredients compare to Steakhouse Burgers except they replace the veggie with extra Turkey Bacon and the creamy Mashed Potato Spread.

New Loaded Steakhouse Burger

- 4” Corn-dusted premium bakery Bun
- Premium Angus Beef Patty (4 Oz), flame-grilled
- A.1. ® Thick & Hearty Steak Sauce
- Crispy Onions
- American Cheese (2 slices)
- Turkey Bacon (4 ½ slices)
- Loaded with creamy Mashed Potato Spread

Price: S$6.95 for Ala Carte 
Price: S$8.95 meal set (comes with medium fries/onion rings and medium soft drink)


Other than the two choices above, you could also enhance your burger by adding extra ingredients shown below to build your own personal preference.

- Extra premium Angus beef patty (4 Oz)- $3.00
- Extra crispy onion - $0.50
- Extra A1 Thick and Hearty Steak Sauce - $0.50
- Loaded mashed potato Spread- $0.80

While taking my orders the friendly serving staff at the counter also recommend me to try this new "Funnel Cake Sticks" which cost  much cheaper as an add-on for any value meal purchased. Each box comes with 9 bite-size dough sticks that are fried to crispy golden brown then dusted with icing sugar. To be honest these dough sticks are indeed very addicting while having it warm and it taste similar to those sugar donut texture. I would suggest  you could  order a cup of  the premium coffee to go with these for afternoon tea snack.
Price: S$1.95 per box (as an add-on item) or;
Price: S$2.95 per box (as A la carte)

Note:

Steakhouse Burgers and Funnel Cake Sticks are available for limited time only from 02 December 2010 – 12 January 2010 at all outlets except Escape Theme Park and Singapore Polytechnic.

In fact, BK takes this irreverence to the next level by collaborating with Sheikh Haikel (Rapper, Artiste, DJ, Host, BK Fan), who is the perfect embodiment of BK’s idea of fine dining. Sheikh has specially remixed his latest hit “Still Steady” (from his latest rap album 10.10.10) for BK, entitled “BK Still Steady”, to promote the Steakhouse Burgers too.

Fat Boy's The Burger Bar

FATBOY'S - The Burger Bar is a burger place in town that serves appetizers, sandwiches, burgers, milkshakes, floats, beers and etc. It has two branches which one located at Upper Thomson and the other at Mohamed Sultan. The outlet at Thomson normally opens from late afternoon till midnight during weekdays and noon onwards on Friday till Sunday. With its visible location along Upper Thomson Road this outlet do draws quite a number of crowds during evening time where patrons gets to enjoy the meal and some chill out with their wide range of beverages.

The concept of the outlet is design with black and white layout that pairs with high bar tables and chairs on right side and picnic benches on the left.

  And like most of the burger restaurants in Singapore, you can always find a "Giant" menu near the entrance showcasing some of their speciality items. 

  The soup of the day was "Cream of Carrot" during our visit. After about  5- 8 minutes of waiting time, the soup is served in a quite decent size of portion for one for its' price. But the taste of it was kind of dilute and we think this can be better compared to the current quality.
Price: S$5.00 per bowl

From the menu we ordered two different types of burger which is the B.O.D (Burger of the Day) that happens to be "Bolly Wooly".  This burger is made up with juicy lamb patty that served with lots of  lettuce and tomato together with smooth layer of homemade curry remoulade and topped with mango chutney.
Price: S$11.50 per plate

All these yummy fillings are sandwiched together with homemade Honey Oat Bun and some thick slabs of French Fries. The lamb patty taste pretty good with its' right texture and seasoning and it goes well with the curry remoulade too.

Next we have "Salmon Says" where the grilled salamon patty was topped with guacamole (avocado-based dip) and cheddar cheese on whole wheat bun.
Price: S$12.00 per plate

As usual each set of burger serves with extra lettuce and thick slabs of fries as sides. Compared to the lamb patty, the salmon patty was kind of sad to be say as on the downside as we felt that the guacamole was rather a bit sour and it does not blend well with the salmon patty.


So next round when your drop by along Upper Thomson Road, instead of having Chicken Rice or Char Kway Tiao at the Longhouse Coffee Shop perhaps you can consider this for a chance. I am sure the huge portion will be able to fill your hungry appetite.

KFC Roasta Burger & Snackers Deal

A week ago, I was captured by a poster outside one of the KFC outlet at a nearby shopping mall. And while sharing with my online friends, I also heard good review on their newly launch Roasta Burger too. Here are two recommendation post that I have read from my twitter friends "Foodielicious" and "Amanda".

And since I cannot resists the temptation on what they have shared, I decided to drop by one of their outlet and grab a set too. The Roasta Burger comes in two different value meal set at:-
Roasta Promo Meal: S$5.90 (comes with Burger, regular pepsi and whipped potato)
Roasta Meal: S$6.80 (comes with Burger, regular pepsi, whipped potato and coleslaw)

This is the reason why I am so tempted to try the new KFC Roasta Burger!!!!! Isn't this look cute with its' oven design box.

After unwrapping the wrapper you will see the juicy grilled chicken fillet being sandwich in between the soft bun (oat bran dusted bun) together with lots of fresh crisp lettuce strips and tomato slices. And if you want to have a healthier choice, you can also ask for plain that is without any sauce added.

Although this Roasta Burger is not something very fantastic in taste but at least it can be another alternative choice for KFC chicken lover to swap between their usual Zinger or Shrooms Burger. Here is a KFC Roasta Burger TVC for your viewing... hope you won't drool after this......



If you just want to have some bites, perhaps you can try their Snackers Value Meals which comes in 3 different choices such as Winglets Snackers, Popcorn Chicken Snackers and Drumstick Snackers. On top of this great value snacks, you can also top up additional S$1.00 to have a regular drink to go with it.

As usual, my little one loves to have their Popcorn Chicken Snackers which comes with generous amount of crispy chicken bits and fries.
Snackers: S$2.95 per box

To end the meal, we each have our favourite KFC Bake Portuguese Egg Tart as dessert. These lovely egg tarts have being around in their menu since January this year. But it is only a month or two back before we get to try this yummy treats after reading some good feedback about it from facebook and etc.

The crust of the tarts are flaky like those puff pastry type which is quite different from the usual biscuit base that we used to eat. I love the smooth and silky egg custard that taste just nice with a hint of lovely fragrant that makes you crave for two or more. These tarts are available at most KFC outlets at the pricing shown below:
Individual: S$1.30 per piece
Box of 2: $2.60; Box of 6: S$7.50

There are more than 50 KFC outlets island wide in Singapore and most of the outlets served the main items on the menu such as the usual Spicy/Original Chicken, Burgers, AM Breakfast, Egg Tarts as well as the new KFC Roasta Burger. You can click HERE to locate the nearest outlet to you.

Wendy's @ GV Yishun 10

Em... if you are just given this photo to guess where are these baked potato from, can you score bingo for it? I am sure for those who always love to venture new food are bond to recognised some of the signature items from each restaurants at a glance. I have posted a similar photo at the Facebook Fan page and surprisingly all the 5 person who comments guess it correctly(click HERE to view). These baked potatoes are indeed from the new fast food restaurant known as “Wendy’s”.

Last Saturday, Joyce and I decided to drop by Wendy’s that is located in Golden Village Yishun 10. This newly opened outlet has replaced the Burger King that had being an icon fast food outlet there for more than 10 years I guess.

The queue at Wendy’s is pretty long during weekend evenings and I have to queue for about 30 minutes before I can get my orders done. To survive in these fast food industries, Wendy’s indeed has a wide range of items from different varieties of burgers to deep-fried chicken pieces, assorted baked potatoes, chili and array flavour of frosty. So after running through their menu, these are what Joyce and I settle with.

1/4 Pound Single Combo which comes with a 1/4 Pound Burger, small fries and drinks of your choice. You can also choose to upsize your side and drink with additional 50cents or S$1.00 for medium or large. Each bite of this 1/4 pound burger, you will get to taste the delicious patty that is grilled to juicy perfection and it is served with fresh toppings such as tomato and pickle. For a combo set like this with regular fries and drink it cost S$6.85 per set.

Next we get a set of their Fried Chicken Combo at S$7.40 each because we are curious to try out how different it taste compare to other fast food restaurants that serves fried chicken too. The outer layer is very crispy and the meat inside is surprisingly not dry or tough but tender. But if compare to other fried chicken, this taste rather mild without the usual herbs and spices taste.

My choice of "Broccoli & Cheese Baked Potato" @ S$3.30 each which is a huge serving that can be shared between two person. The piping-hot baked potato that is straight from the oven is topped with tender pieces of broccoli and a creamy cheese sauce. For me as a cheese lover, the cheese sauce taste rather a bit mild but in another way it will be less greasy and great for those non-cheese lovers to pick up this choice.

Joyce pick wants something less cheesy so she settle with this "Sour Cream & Chives Potato" that cost S$2.90 each. The sour cream topping goes well with the blend baked potato and makes it a rather healthy choice among the 5 toppings that are available. Although this taste great, but we thought if they have some extra fried bacon bits on top of the sour cream it would be perfection for this dish.

Wendy’s offer 4 different types of “Frosty” which are Original Frosty, Frosty Float, Frosty Shake and Twisted Frosty. Here we order one of their “Original Chocolate Frosty” that taste cool, creamy and refreshing. The texture is very smooth and it does not taste too sweet for those without sweet tooth. I am sure a small cup of this will satisfies your palate after hearty meal.

Other than burgers, fried chicken, baked potatoes and etc. Wendy's also have Breakfast Sets, Garden Salads, Chili, Kids' Meal (comes with a toy) and etc. Perhaps we will drop by another day to try out their breakfast set again.

There are a few Wendy's outlet around Singapore from the main branch at Lau Pa Sat and the rest locating at Jurong Point, Holland village, Liat Towers and Yishun 10. According to them, there will be another two NEW outlets coming up soon at Plaza by the Park and NEX Mall.

The Handburger @ 313 Orchard

Remember our Burger Hunt outing, after sharing the post with you on Burger Bench & Bar(read more HERE), now let me continue to share with you our 2nd stop of the food hunting at "The Handburger" which is located at the end corner at Basement 2 of 313 @ Somerset.

3 best friends, Anna Lim, Andrew Chan and Benedict Leow who want to offer quality, artisan burgers that are priced reasonably so that everyone is able to enjoy them regularly, own “The Handburger” restaurant. Other than burgers retail, they are also the owner behind the popular western soup restaurant known as "The Soup Spoon" that has varies outlets in Singapore.

Since we have just finished our 1st hunt over at "Burger, Bench & Bar", we decided to order something more unique over here. After going through the menu, the few of us (Alice, Lobster, Alvin & I) agreed on this "Tandoor Chicken Burger" and "Duck Confit". I love the Indian Tandoor Chicken so I have much higher expectation on this burger.

According to the menu the chicken thigh is cooked in tandoor style that is marinated in yogurt, cucumber, red onions, hand cooked masala sauce, mint mayo. It is then topped with sweet mango chutney on some coral lettuce and tomato and sandwich together with toasted spinach and Parmesan bun. The greenish bun does look appealing to us but the taste of the tandoor chicken was kind of plain perhaps of the sauce and overall it does not really suits our liking. But for those who don't really like the strong Indian spices taste, you might wish to give it a try at S$10.80 each.

Duck Confit Burger is something rare to be found in most common burger outlets so it is worth to get a set of this. They actually grilled the whole boneless duck leg confit in handmade orange sauce then topped with baby snow pea sprouts and mandarin orange on a bed of coral lettuce and tomato together with the toasted caramelised bun. The duck itself is very tender when bite and it combines very well with the handmade sauce and orange topping. Recommend to try this if you have eaten too much of chicken burger.

You can create a set meal with either S$4.00/S$6.00 top up for extra side and drink (ice lemon tea/hot green tea) together with a burger of your choice. So for this set, we choose the "The Works Burger" that consists of 100% New Zealand ribeye beef patty that weights 150g, this patty is nicely grilled and topped with battered onion rings, crispy bacon, sunny side up egg, sauteed basil pesto mushroom, sweet onion jam, cheddar cheese and etc on a bed of coral lettuce then sandwich with toasted caramelised onion bun.

Can you imagine when you bite this burger, it will be burst with all kind of flavour such as juicy beef, onion, runny egg yolk, cheese and etc. For beef lover like me and Alice, we do agreed that this beef patty is far much more better than the previous one that we have tried especially on the seasoning and sauce that makes a great different. As for the side, we have a Caesar Salad to go with the burger while drink, we top-up extra to have the Lychee Mint Crush instead of the usual ice lemon tea.

Lychee Mint Crush is definitely a very interesting drink. The sweet fragrances of the lychee and the refreshing cool mint blend together with crush ice ineed makes this a great choice to go with those burgers. Most of us are guess what are the ingredients blended in it which makes it taste so addicting. Some mention about kiwifruit and cucumbers, but I will leave you to try this out on your next visit to the outlet. A glass of this cost cost about S$5.50 which is good enough to share between two person.

This restaurant also offer some Kid's Friendly meal for either "Mini Mister Meal" or "Mini Miss Meal" where you can choose between Cheeseburger or Fish Burger to go with chunky fries, buffalo winglets, a cup of freshly blended apple juice and a cupcake for dessert. All these only cost you S$9.50 per set which I am sure your kids will love these combination. But somehow or rather, we find they should change the drink to something else instead of fresh apple fruit because tends to oxide before consume which makes it look rather not appetising to the kids. (Above is the "Mini Mister Meal" with Fish Burger where you can find a slice of lovely lotus root in it)

This is something new to us, sweet burger which they known it as "THB Dessert Burger" which sandwich a 70% dark coverture chocolate patty filled with macadamia nuts, topped with apple crem cheese filling on a bed of butter icing and strawberries with fluffy donut bun. We love this, the chocolate patty is so rich and fragrant that it makes you crave for more. If you like chocolate and with something special rather than the usual meat patty, I suggest you go for this S$6.50 dessert burger with a cup of tea or coffee.

Overall we have a great time on our second food outings for this Burger Hunt event. But however we did not managed to try the 3rd places which is included in our schedule at Ice Rockz, located at Scape because they are running out of rice patty when we get there. So I guess, we have to go back another time or perhaps another BURGER OUTING!!! Our next outing will be something more exciting so do stay tune for our outing updates in September.
