The Works Burger at the Hand Burger

Posted by: Disco Asian on: February 7, 2010

The Works Burger at the Hand Burger is what you would call throwing everything and the kitchen sink into 1 burger.

Let me recount what’s in the burger:  first of all, there’s a grilled 180g sirloin beef patty, then it’s topped (in order) with barbecue and aioli sauce, sauteed basil pesto mushrooms, beer-battered onion rings, bacon strips, sunny side up egg, cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and finally toasted buns.

I would say it’s worth trying at least once for the madness and combination of tastes but as a burger, I think I’d rather stick to the Botak Burger. Also, it’s practically impossible to eat as a burger.

Tweetup at The Garden Slug

Posted by: Disco Asian on: February 4, 2010

Located at a pretty ulu corner in the far far East of sunny Singapore, there lies a quaint little cafe restaurant called The Garden Slug.

Normally I wouldn’t come all the way to the deep East side just to eat but I’ve been seeing some good reviews about this place floating around Twitter.

When @danielchant organised a tweetup at The Garden Slug, I took it as a good opportunity to meet the local tweeps and visit the cafe as well.

Wah Kee Big Prawn Noodles

Went to Pek Kio for lunch and found out that this was the hawker centre with the famous Wah Kee Big Prawn Noodles.

I’d heard that it was good and after reading the review on ieatishootipost, I knew I had to try it at least now that I happened to be here.

Italian tasting session at Cacio e Pepe

Posted by: Disco Asian on: January 26, 2010

Recently I just went for a tasting session at Cacio e Pepe organised by ieatishootipost. The location is a very ulu off-road somewhere in Paya Lebar but it is a surprising find as the food is quite good, as the makan session proved.

Complimentary bread

Italian bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Soaking up the vinegar and oil with the bread yielded a really nice taste.

Crazy Roast

Posted by: Disco Asian on: January 20, 2010

Nothing much to say except we just threw pork ribs, prawns, scallops, chicken wings, tomatoes, carrots, onions, garlic all in 1 roasting pan and cooked them all.

And some potatoes on the side!
