Vegan Burg

It’s finally the weekend! I wanted to have something light after overeating the weekdays away, so Veganburg popped up in mind.  It was fairly crowded for a weekday dinner, and there were a couple of angmoh families eating too. Maybe one of the few who can live without their monstrous-sized cheese and beef burgers?

It wasn’t that difficult to make a choice because honestly, coming from meat eaters, everything on the menu looks err… pretty much the same to us. Wholesome rye bread? Check.

Healthy vegan burgers bursting with proteins, beta carotene, vitamins B and antioxidants? Check.

Organic teas? Check that too.

We settled for cracked pepper mayo and char-grilled satay, together with vegan franks and crispy potato & spinach pops as sides. Drink was a beetroot carrot juice. 

We got our number block and food was served shortly in camping tins, reminiscent of the army times (but quite unfortunately for Paul hahaha!). The stark difference between the burgers here and those in our usual burger joints was, there wasn’t that delectable and appetizing aroma that wafts to your nose when the food arrived, enticing you to shut up and chow down. The mushroomy smell of the patties was the strongest, and there’s where the heavy carnivores will sorely miss their meats.

Service was limited to the counter, but good enough since it isn’t on the bill.  

In short, we feel that even though VeganBurg is good for a shot at tasting what flavors a “First-in-the-World Vegan Burger” kitchen can conjure up to pass off as a burger, this isn’t the best place to go to if you need your meat or require dinner to be a truly satisfying affair. That said, I can foresee it’s a first, and last time for Paul.
