Looking for Burgers places?

We're Back! Ordered our fav burger dish, along with chic pie and tea for sharing. With the new burpple discount of 30% of total bill, this cost us about $20 for two pax 💕 cafe didn't had much people so the server guy served us our food instead of self-collection ➕

Fried to a crisp, with soft insides, served alongside chocolate dip (instead of Gula Melaka, the only other flavour available) at the crew’s recommendation. I liked it! My sister, however, found the churros to be too ’thiccc’ to her liking. She did not enjoy the ‘doughy’ insides of the churros. We both certainly liked how the churros were peppered with sugar and cinnamon powder!

Better than Mcdonald’s for sure! Thiccc, creamy and well balanced. It wasn’t as sweet as the ones I’ve had at Five Guys’ but rather similar in terms of flavour profile! I liked how the milkshake didn’t taste too artificially flavoured. It’s a huge load of calories, better be worth the calories!

My new favourite burger chain! Fatburger has a pretty extensive selection of burgers on their menu. My only gripe would be the rather inconvenient location for most of their outlets. I tried the single original beef burger, served along with sweet potato fries. There wasn’t an option on the doneness of the patty - I guess it’s a standard that they’re all prepared well-done. I like how the patty was juicy and well seasoned - sufficiently thick for the oomph. The buns were fluffy and complemented the burg well. Veggies were standard and fresh - no special sauces, just mayo!

i picked Tracy’s Favourite Salad ($20) mainly because it had the longest line of ingredients HAHAHA but i loved that there’s kale (my fav salad base for greens) and the sesame avo, hummus and pumpkin seed dukkah yumzzz

How coincidental they have the same seasonal item as rival McDonald's. The pulut hitam was similar, but Burger King mixes the filling with taro. Unconventional but a plus.

Burpple Beyond allows you to have 2 burgers for the price of 1 and it’s the best deal ever! The relish was sour, just the way I like it! The freshly made patties were well done, which IMO could be a less seared in order to retain more of its juices. Overall, we enjoyed it with a side of thick cut chilli cheese fries. Try going for the Quad XXXXL burger and you could see yourself on the wall of fame! 😄 Mind you, XXL was really filling already 🤭

📍Joji’s Diner @ 534 Upper Serangoon Rd

Ambience: 9/10 ❤️❤️❤️❤️🤍
Flavor: 6/10 ❤️❤️❤️🤍🤍
Service: 10/10 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Overall: 25/30 ❤️❤️❤️❤️🤍

Visited Joji’s Diner at 534 Upper Serangoon Rd on a Thursday night, which is located 6 minutes walk away from Serangoon MRT Exit A. Alternatively, you can also take bus 153/147/853/107 from the bus stop outside Serangoon MRT Exit A (no. 62139), and alight after 1 stop.

I ordered (1) All Star Plate, (2) Banana Creampie, and (3) Loaded Fries.

Priced at S$12.90, the All Star Plate was packed with a very generous portion of classic American breakfast ingredients - Scrambled Eggs, Baked Potato Chunks, Fresh Cherry Tomatoes, Wild Mushrooms, Bacon, Sausage, Baked Beans, and a choice of either a Garlic Toast or a French Toast.

Amongst the aforementioned ingredients, the ones that really caught my eye were no doubt the nearly melt-in-your-mouth fluffy Scrambled Eggs, as well as the Bacon that was so crispy that you could literally hear the crunch with every single bite. As for the rest of the ingredients, they were conventionally prepared - not in a bad approach, but in a fashion that did not stand out to me.

Priced at S$8.90, the Banana Creampie is a very well-executed huge, thick and creamy banana milkshake topped with a very generous amount of whipped cream, chocolate syrup drizzle, wafer fan, and a cherry on top. I would recommend sharing this with a friend because if your appetite isn’t too big, the All Star Plate paired with just a couple mouthfuls of the Banana Creampie would instantly fill your stomach. Alternatively, you can also go for their Tea options that are more refreshing, less heavy, and definitely less sinful - such as the S$5.50 8 Secrets Green Tea that comes in a teapot, sufficient to fill 3 full tea cups.

Last but not least, priced at S$8.90, the Loaded Fries is an intentionally-soggy crinkle cut fries that is topped with beef chilli, homemade aioli, and cheese. This is definitely not for diners who do not enjoy soggy fries because as a soggy fries hater myself, this dish did not convert me into a soggy fries lover. However, because of the inherent bias against soggy fries, I will not take into account Loaded Fries into my rating for Joji’s Diner.

For that, I give Joji’s Diner a 6/10 for Flavour.

As for the ambience, I was so impressed by how closely Joji’s Diner replicated the retro vibe of the diners in the 50s. From the choice of the red chairs, black and white checkered floors, as well as the decorations on the wall, Joji’s Diner really aced the replication of a retro diner vibe. It really looked like a scene straight out of Pop’s Chock’lit from Riverdale. The only other retro-diner that gives me such a similar vibe in Singapore is perhaps Mel’s Drive In located in Universal Studios Singapore. On a side note, what really sold this place for me was their choice of music, when I heard them playing my all-time favourite song - The Ballad of Mona Lisa by Panic! At The Disco. Boy was their taste in music immaculate.

For that, I give Joji’s Diner a 9/10 for Ambience.

The staff were also generally very friendly. When my friends and I came at a time where the Diner was completely full, the staff who welcomed us at the door immediately walked around the floor to gauge how long we had to wait and proceeded to give us a time estimate together with a digital queue number that will inform us when a seat is available for us. An SMS was also sent to my mobile phone when the seat was ready. Although the downside was that because Joji’s Diner was located at a rather boring street of Upper Serangoon Rd with the nearest NEX Shopping Mall located 7 minutes walk away, there wasn’t anything we could do while waiting for an available seat.

Nevertheless, I give Joji’s Diner a 10/10 for Service.

Overall, Joji’s Diner at 534 Upper Serangoon Rd scored a 25/30 after combining the scores for Ambience, Flavour, and Service. To quickly conclude, the real highlight of Joji’s Diner is their retro-vibe ambience and personally, the music that they play in the diner. As for their food, they are traditionally executed, but do not expect flavours that are too mindblowing.

4⭐ The burpple deal is limited to pasta/ pizza hence we ordered a meat lover pizza and an aglio olio for sharing. The pasta is good but the pizza is even better. WB praised that it's one of the best pizza he ate bcos the crust is thin yet crispy.

4⭐ Impromptu dinner at Marina Square Carl's Jr cos WB saw there's $5 off with minimum $10 spending here. We ordered our burgers separately to fully maximise the deal. WB had the chilli cheese burger while I had the chargrilled chicken club sandwich. We also ordered a crosstrax fries for sharing. Their burger are still good albeit the premium pricing.
