BERGS Gourmet Burgers [The BFB & Alamack] @ Far East Square

When i was raving about the burgers from De Burg a few months ago, both my sisters suggested i give this burger joint near their offices in the business district a try.

As expected, i deliberated for quite a while! It is a hard decision to make with Singapore having far too many eateries. At times, the dilemma was frustrating enough for me to decide to stay at home and eat cup noodles.

Coming back - given Bergs location in the central business district where 5-day working week is the norm, the eatery was almost devoid of any customers on a Saturday afternoon. *hint - go on Saturdays*

Ordering was a breeze (thanks to the lack of customers) and since everything is freshly made upon your order, please give around 10-15 minutes before your burger is sent to your table.

Delivered in a brown paper bag! This type of delivery reminded me of the mystery bags i used to buy from the mamak stall at the void decks! Damn, it was so exciting to see what surprises lie within!

Chips (Fries)
My younger sister absolutely loved the chips in Bergs! For fries fanatics who prefer fat and crunchy fries, like those from MOS Burger, this is definitely the place for you.

However, the serving was incredibly generous and it was a carbohydrate overdose after the burgers. Recommended to share with a buddy! Or you can ask my sister to help you.

Onion Rings
Failed - sogginess aside, oiliness aside, what i could not stand is the use of onion mix when perfectly round slices of pure onions are so much more delicious!

Alamack Burger (Berg Size)
Basically, this is a fish burger; albeit a pretty big one known as berg size.

Everything was fresh and quite palatable except for the patty. It was too solid for my liking, resulting in a dry texture that was a bit off. Oh, it can also do with more tartar sauce or maybe a spoonful of mayonnaise.

The BFB Burger (Berg Size)
Gigantic! And from Kon's analysis, this BFB (i have no idea what it stands for) burger was even larger than the epic De Burg Decadence! It may look smaller at the first glance but this BFB was compactly packed with all the goodness!

What i expect from a gourmet burger is simple; a true burger must be juicy, meaty and preferably with an egg. Although BFB satisfied all the criteria, it lacked a special enticing flavour to differentiate it from the others.
