Suprette and Nickeldime Drafthouse. A tale of two burgers.

05:25 Posted by Unknown , , , , , No comments
Many people love burgers, but not like the way my girlfriend does. A bad burger would ruin her day, and then mine. So needless to say when she tells me OMG YOU HAVE TO TRY THIS!!! I have to drop all plans and check it out with her.

Located in Kam Leng Hotel, Suprette have slowly but surely gained a following even though they only have 5 main options. We decided to just go big and ordered the Ken's Heart Attack Burger ($45). I dare any of you to try and finish this alone. My eyes popped out when the server plopped this down onto our table. It was a fucking beauty. Double patty with beautiful charring and bursting with juices, purrfectly crisp bacon, gooey gruyere cheese that threatens your arteries, and mushrooms. Fries are free flow as well, so help yourself to carbs overload. The bottom of the sesame bun surprisingly didn't give way to the load and juices that were runneth over. Now look at that and you wonder what's the big fuss about Omakase burgers. 


This would be easily rank in the top 5 of burgers in SG for me

Another day, another burger. Nickeldime Drafthouse has been getting a lot of press recently for all the beer reasons. That huge ass BEER sign tempted us in for a look even before they opened. They have 15 different craft beers on tap at any one time, and lots more in bottles which are available for takeaway. We were there for 2 weeks getting sloshed almost everyday before their menu finally kicked in, and we decided the burger would be their litmus test.

The 510 burger ($18 + $4 for pulled pork) was a definite winner for us. It had homemade beer bread, beer braised pulled pork, IPA cheese, mozzarella, candied bacon and egg. This was a messy burger that when melded together, felt like captain planet had been called upon. The pattie had a beautiful char and was seasoned well. The pulled pork definitely wasn't needed but added an extra zing with the smokey barbecue sauce and burnt bits thrown in. I was gutted that my yolk was stabbed but that just added to the ooze factor. Fries were generic like most places so no biggie. (they currently charge for fries separately)

Looking back, i'll definitely head back for their food but not so much for their beers. It's absolutely bloody expensive.
