Burger lovers rejoice, for next Thursday, 28 May, is International Burger Day; a day dedicated indiscriminately to the burger in all its shapes, sizes and flavours alike!
To mark the occasion, Impossible Foods, creators of the award-winning and delicious meat made from plants, has teamed up with a few local brands to offer promotions on some of the most delicious and unique Impossible Burgers around town from Monday, 25 May until Monday, 1 June. To top off the festivities, every dish is available for order directly to your doorstep, so you can enjoy a plant-based feast from the comfort of home during the final stretch of Singapore’s Circuit Breaker period.
While enjoying delicious burgers from some of the Little Red Dot’s local restaurant favourites, both foodies and “junk food” lovers can appreciate their lowered carbon footprint, because the Impossible Burger is made from plants and every 113g patty uses 96% less land, 87% less water, and produces 89% less greenhouse gasses compared to raising the same amount of ground beef from a cow. For conscious consumers, this means that they’re saving 7 square meters of land, 3 kg of CO2, and 84 litres of water for each Impossible burger consumed. Pair the environmental benefits of Impossible’s plant-based meat with its meaty deliciousness, and you’ve got all the ingredients for a winning International Burger Day recipe.
Hard facts aside, read on for a list of some of the most mouthwatering Impossible burgers around town!
Brewerkz
This delicious Impossible Burger and Beer Combo from Brewerkz is priced at SGD28, and includes an Impossible patty topped with mustard sauce, dill pickles, onion relish, tomatoes and lettuce, along with a side of salad, fries and can of Brewerkz Beer. Diners also have the option to upgrade their fries to onion rings, or a side of Korean fried cauliflower for just SGD2.
While you’re here, Singapore’s longest-running craft brewery experience typically specialises in classic American style comfort food, including handcrafted gourmet burgers, and award-winning handcrafted beers.
Wok In Burger, by Keng Eng Kee Seafood
Enjoy a set meal of Impossible Wanton Burger, onion rings, and a drink by Wok In Burger. Priced at SGD18.80, the Impossible Wanton Burger is inspired by local flavours, and includes a wok tossed Impossible patty mixed with diced carrots and chestnuts, marinated with sesame oil, and paired with crispy wonton skins, crunchy vegetables and chilli mayo, all sandwiched between grilled buttered charcoal buns.
Wok in Burger is the Michelin recognised zi char restaurant Keng Eng Kee’s first foray into fusion cuisine.
Omakase Burger
For those looking to get a little messy, the Omakase X Impossible™ Burger is the one to choose. While next week’s promo tempts us with a free drink for every purchase of ala carte Impossible Burger, each burger consists of an Impossible patty combined with a blend of handpicked plant-based ingredients for an umami boost; all for the price of SGD19.90.
Home to Singapore’s best-known authentic American smashed burgers, Omakase Burger is famous for being so juicy that they had to design special wrappers just to hold all the juices in. If you’re all set for this, get those tissues ready!
The Coffee Academics
Check out The Coffee Academics for an Impossible Burger fit for the burger purist’s palate. Named by BuzzFeed as one of the “Top 25 coffee shops around the world you have to see before you die”, this burger features an Impossible patty topped with a portobello mushroom, jalapeños, gherkins, a tomato, lettuce, a sunny-side up egg, homemade smoked ketchup, mayonnaise and yellow mustard. Served on a fluffy brioche bun with a side of sweet potato fries and seasonal greens, the SGD28 price tag will also get you a free caffeine fix in the form of a free hot or iced black coffee.
Rubato
Enjoy a free bubble tea and gourmet truffle fries with every purchase of the Impossible Burger at Rubato. As one of Singapore’s finest produce-driven Italian restaurants recognized by Tatler as one of “Singapore’s Best Restaurants”, expect an italian feast with two unique burgers on the menu, namely The Heaven On Earth Burger and its meatless sibling.
The Heaven On Earth Burger features a home-made artisanal bun, Impossible patty, crispy low-fat premium bacon, clotted cream cheese, a dollop of Greek yoghurt, wild honey and fresh imported arugula, while vegetarians can enjoy its completely meat-free counterpart sans bacon and wild honey, with the addition of avocado, crunchy butter lettuce and fresh sprouts instead.
Additionally, fries and boba fans rejoice, as the SGD29 price also includes hand-cut gourmet truffle fries and a DreamsInACup Tiramisu Bubble Tea on the house. With an organic mellow smooth boba, flavoured with gula melaka and a splash of hokkaido milk, get your sugar fix while washing down your burger while this promo lasts!
