Carne: Premium, Grassfed, Organic and all the Jazz
Let me say at the outset that if you go to Carne expecting to be blown away by the burger created by the Chef behind the World's No. 1 restaurant, then you would be setting yourself up for a major dissappointment
Remember Lavender Food Square? They used to house famous hawker stalls like Kok Kee Wanton Mee, Miow Sin Carrot cake and Albert Street Prawn Mee. The hawker centre, together with the neighbouring Eminent Plaza, were demolished in 2014 and in its place now stands ARC 380. The building has been in operation since 2018, but […]

Hawker centres have traditionally been the place where Singaporeans can find cheaper versions of restaurant food. In the 60's, it was the Hainanese who brought Western dishes like steaks, pork chops and chicken chops out from the expensive restaurants and into the heartlands. In the 90's the same thing happened with Italian pastas. The trend continues with the latest being a slew of gourmet hamburger stalls to hit the neighbourhood.
Good Eats and Hidden Gems: Alexandra Village Industrial Estate Food Trail

I don’t know about you, but that is what I call a happy meal!

Burgers have come a long way since I first wrote about the ieat Superburger in 2006. My vision of what a perfect burger should look like a decade ago has evolved somewhat over the years. Ten years ago, what I wanted was a BIG burger with all the trimmings: the bigger the better. Now, I am more focussed on the basics, ie the quality of the beef patty and the bun that accompanies it.
