McDonald’s Singapore has revived the crowd favourite Samurai beef burger. Dipped in teriyaki sauce, the Samurai burger has remained my all-time favourite McDonald’s burger ever since tasting it years ago! (Until I get to try the McLobster, that is.) The Samurai beef burger is available in two options: regular with a single beef patty and the Double, which has two beef patties for those who want twice the oomph.

Hippopotamus Grill Restaurant is an established chain originating from France. Now in Singapore, ensconced in Marina Square, the steakhouse provides a wide selection of premium quality beef. Although Hippopotamus specialises in beef, they do have a small selection of French classics like escargots, foie gras, bone marrow and other main courses like chicken ($14.90-$16.90), lamb ($18.90), fish ($18.90) and seafood platters (S$13.90-S$15.90). And thankfully, nothing of hippopotamuses.

A visit to Most Original Burgers at VivoCity, Singapore may leave you craving for not just burgers, but Hollywood mobster movies as well. At least, that’s how I feel after eating The Goodfellas mini burgers, washed down with a Mobster Sling mocktail whilst staring at a larger than life photo of The Godfather leather chair. Burgers lead the way, which makes Most Original Burgers an ideal stopover for lunch or […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/mob-most-original-burgers/feed/ 2 https://sparklette.net/contest/oriole-winners/ https://sparklette.net/contest/oriole-winners/#respond Sun, 06 Mar 2011 07:00:00 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=1090

For reasons unknown, the Twitterverse is suddenly abuzz with chatter of the legendary McLobster. Some people claim that they have seen, even tasted the elusive sandwich.

By now, everyone in Singapore (and their pets too) must have heard of the new McDonald’s Chicken McGrill burger. Launched on March 1, it is almost impossible to miss the massive marketing campaign that runs with the line “Make it Better, Make it Chicken McGrill” on TV, newspapers, and the internet.

It’s been a crazy few weeks at the Sparklette headquarters. In between some web design projects, I have been getting in touch with companies to sponsor awesome prizes for the contests here (Why, haven’t you noticed the increasing frequency of these giveaways? *wink*).

Step into TAB and it feels as though you have stepped into a mini concert hall. Spanning two floors at Orchard Hotel, TAB is a unique concert venue where you can enjoy nightly performances by local and international artists while dining or sipping on a cocktail. The main dining area on the first floor gives you an unobstructed view of the performances.

If you think that burgers are junk food, think again. At gourmet burger joint The Handburger, the burgers are made of all-natural ingredients. Run by the same people behind the soup chain, The Soup Spoon, The Handburger has two outlets in Singapore, including its newly renovated flagship restaurant at Raffles City Shopping Centre, and a second outlet at 313@Somerset. The catchy name arose from the fact that all the ingredients […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/handburger/feed/ 8 https://sparklette.net/food/ps-cafe-brunch/ https://sparklette.net/food/ps-cafe-brunch/#comments Wed, 10 Nov 2010 03:00:26 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=1021

PS. Cafe at Palais Renaissance has always stood out to me. Ever a lover of good food, a great place to chill with friends and a restaurant that places emphasis on food presentation, this café has yet to let me down.

If you know your burgers well enough, you would be highly familiar with Relish, located on the second storey of Cluny Court. This casual eatery that specializes in burgers is the subsequent venture of Chef Willin Low of Wild Rocket‘s fame.

If you love coffee, you would probably like it even more when it comes with a bit of art. Now, I am by no means a coffee connoisseur, although I do know a good coffee when I taste one. But it doesn’t take a true connoisseur to appreciate coffee art, does it? And that’s exactly what you will get at Oriole Cafe & Bar.

If you have passed by the Golden Arches recently, you may have noticed the new wasabi range of Filet-O-Fish and shaker fries. The fast food giant promises it would give you a “karai sensation”. So far, these wasabi items appear to be available only at McDonald’s Singapore. But wait a minute, wasabi on a battered fish patty? Wouldn’t that taste kind of… weird? Well, curiosity got the better of me! […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/mcdonalds-wasabi-filet-o-fish/feed/ 13
