One day walking on the streets of Singapore, during my July 2019 trip, I noticed this sign:
It attracted my attention and later I came back for a meal. It was the Orchard Road location of Fat Boy’s Burgers, a homegrown Singaporean burger chain. Established in 2009 by two brothers, now it has multiple venues in Singapore and branches in Beijing, Kuala Lumpur, and Phom Penh.
The visit
It was a Sunday evening and the location was packed but they were able to squeeze me in one of the last seat available.
I had their YOLO (you only live once I suppose) Burger. It was a massive burger with a beef patty (but I was also offered the choice of lamb or pork patty). On top there was a fried egg, fried spam, fried onion strings, Mozzarella Cheese Sticks with Smoked Chipotle on a sesame seed bun. The most striking feature was certainly the deep fried mozzarella, very cheesy inside.
They have an extensive menu of burgers and you can also make your own burgers (they calculate that over 4400 combinations are possible).
The check
Only the burger cost 21.75 SGD (15.72 USD): one the pricey side, but in line with gourmet burgers in Shanghai or Hong Kong nowadays. This was one of the most expensive burgers, a classic cheeseburger was around 10 USD. Overall recommended.
Where in Singapore:
38 Orchard Rd.
