I knew about Dirty Buns when circuit breaker was still in full swing, but hadn’t taken action ’til now. Besides delivery & self-collection, they now also accept walk-ins, though take note there is a daily limit of 80 burgers daily.
Dining in at City Sprouts, where Dirty Buns is located
At $11 nett for a double patty burger, & only $8 nett for a single patty one, these burgers are a steal. After hearing such rave reviews about them, I had to give them a shot. Filled out their easy peasy online Google form & paid via PayNow to confirm my order.
Collected my order at Okome, one of the food stalls at City Sprouts
The journey to City Sprouts to collect my burger was somewhat painful & I got lost several times on the road. Wondered several times if I should’ve just paid for the also-affordable delivery fee of $5 (lol). But eventually I got there, & collection was fuss free. Parking is also free. Just like America, with their freedom of speech & all.
Double Patty Beef Burger with Fries
Is it worth the hype? A resounding YES. The buns maintained good fluffyness despite being squished in the neatly bundled wrapping. The patties were seasoned well & remained moist. Some have said the patties are heavily seasoned but I beg to differ – maybe they tweaked the recipe?
Overall, this traveled well on the journey home. The fries were okay, I don’t think I should judge fries because I was 20 minutes late in collecting my order (read: it had been sitting there for a while š).
But 20 minutes late & I’d still order the burger again? Think that says a lot. My dad also enjoyed this burger, so that’s 2 thumbs up from our household!
I run the MBS loop once in a while, & I’ve noticed this black & orange food truck fairly often on my evening runs. Naturally, I was very excited when Burpple‘s invitation to taste their burgers came in!
You can’t miss this black & orange food truck
Fun Fact: Not all Impossibleā¢ burgers are the same. The “base” Impossibleā¢ meat is the same, but each eatery has control over what they mix in with it to create their dishes. Fortunately, the ones I’ve tried so far are delicious & had great texture, so I had high hopes for The Goodburger‘s burgers.
The Goodburger’s Menu
All burgers come with a side of shoestring fries, which are my favourite kind. They were served hot, crispy, & not too oily. I enjoyed them so much that I couldn’t stop. I even went to the next table to steal more fries (sorry not sorry).
An additional side of Truffle Fries cost $12 – while fragrant, I wasn’t a fan of the oilyness, so I’d stick to the regular bomb diggity fries.
The Goodburger’s Impossibleā¢ Burgers with Fries
Started off with The Classic ($16) burger – upon first bite, I noticed how fluffy & soft the burger buns were. Then my teeth sank into the juicy meat patty – great mouthfeel. As I chewed thoughtfully, I liked how the flavours came together in my mouth. The cheese, the special sauce, the tangy pickles.
The Classic with the Default Single Patty
Then we tried the same burger with an extra patty ($6). IT IS WORTH IT. Spend that money for a more balanced meat-to-bun ratio; you won’t regret it šš»
The Classic Double Patty FTW
One Night in Bangkok ($20) honestly did not remind me much of Bangkok or Thai flavours, but it was still delicious & unique. The complexity of the flavours are quite mind-boggling. A little bit of heat from the chilli, & a powerful but not offensive combination of fragrant spices. We had a field day trying to pinpoint what “aromatic Thai-inspired flavours” they actually are. But their lips are sealed, so we’ll never know…
One Night in Bangkok
The Black Tie ($18) was my favourite burger of the night. It’s touted as kid-friendly with its more subtle flavours. I mean, think about the other 2 burgers: Classic has tangy pickles, & One Night in Bangkok has spices & chilli.
Subtle doesn’t mean boring, though. I love me some veggies in my burger. Rocket is one of my favourites so I loved that inclusion. The truffle aioli could’ve been a bit stronger but I’m not too bothered by it. It’s a winner in my books.
The Black Tie
I personally haven’t tried this, but the burgers apparently reheat well. They don’t get soggy even though they retain their moisture. Update when I dabao one home & reheat it š
You can find The Goodburger at these locations on regular days, but do check their Instagram/Facebook for the latest updates: ā¢ Lunch @ The Promontory (Tue – Fri, 12 – 3PM) ā¢ Dinner @ Bayfront Link (Tue – Sun, 5 – 9PM); that’s next to Marina Bay Sands, near where the light show/Black Tap is.
