(Moved) Burgs by Project Warung – Centuries Foodcourt @ Viva Business Park
(Burgs by Project Warung has since been revamped as Burgs, and have also ceased opeartions at several locations, including the location at Centuries Foodcourt at Viva Business Park that is mentioned in this post. For more information pertaining to Burgs, please visit the Burgs’ website by clicking on the link here.)
Those who are into the local food scene in Singapore might find Burgs by Project Warung pretty familiar; the folks behind the Muslim-owned hawker centre stall at Golden Mile Food Centre known for serving up affordable burgers had recently opened a second outlet at Viva Business Park.
Located in Bedok, the second outlet of Burgs by Project Warung is a stall within Centuries Foodcourt @ Viva Business Park; the business park housing the very first Decathlon store as well as being the home of a number of F&B tenants such as Burger King, Li Xin Fishball Noodles, Andes by Astons, Chick-A-Boo Fried Chicken and Royz Et Vous (which, coincidentally, is also a halal-certified cafe). Occupying a stall at the corner of the food court, it is situated right opposite Bai Nian, a reputable brand that dishes out Yong Tau Foo. Carrying the same philosophy as their original stall at Golden Mile Food Centre, Burgs by Project Warung at Viva Business Park is still very much the Muslim-owned establishment serving up wallet-friendly burgers that come full with fries on the side. The menu at Viva Business Park varies a little from the menu available at Golden Mile Food Centre; a slightly different selection of burgers as well as a few variants of fries. Other light bites include boneless wings as well as ice-cream sliders.
(Burgs’ Bacon Cheese Burger)
A few of the items were already sold out by dinner time when we made our visit during the weekend; we ended up choosing the Burgs’ Bacon Cheese Burger. Much like their Golden Mile Food Centre branch, all burger orders come standard with a side of fries, though patrons can upgrade to any of variant of their fries at an additional cost. Patrons also have the option to choose between the single patty and double patty options for the burgers here. We opted for the Okonomi Fries, where the fries come dressed with Okonomiyaki sauce, Japanese mayonnaise and supposedly, bonito flakes. Overall, the burger was actually pretty decent; light and fluffy toasted buns with a beef patty that is well-executed; tightly-packed, yet juicy and tender without a grainy texture or being veiny and too difficult to chew. The consistency of the beef patty hit the spot, while the accompanying strips of smoked turkey bacon gave the burger a slight chewiness and a hint of savoury flavour signature of cured meat. It also comes with a house-made sauce, as well as a spiced nacho cheese sauce that gives the Burgs’ Bacon Cheese Burger its promised cheesiness. The Okonomi Fries that we opted for was a tad disappointing, however; the fries itself were well-fried; crisp and comes well-filled with potato. That being said, the Okonomi Fries tasted strongly of mayonnaise; lacked that hint of savouriness from the Okonomiyaki sauce while missing of the described “bonito flakes” which was also illustrated in the photo. That being said, still a pretty affordable burger of a decent quality at a pocket-friendly price of $7.00 nett with regular fries.
(Chicken Parmigiana Burger)
We also tried the Chicken Parmigiana Burger; we went for the single patty version whilst opting for the Pizza Fries for this particular order. Coming with fried chicken thigh coated with panko crumbs, tomato sauce, and mozzarella, the burger comes with the same light and fluffy toasted buns stamped with their logo as the Burgs’ Bacon Cheese Burger we have had. The fried chicken thigh delivered with its crisp exterior, while the flesh was succulent and juicy without being particularly greasy. While the house-made tomato sauce was bright and tangy, we felt that there was a lack of melted mozzarella to achieve that satisfying Parmigiana-esque feel; something which affected the overall experience with the burger quite a bit. The Pizza Fries comes with the same house-made tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, and salami; again, we thought that they could have been slightly more generous with the cheese in order for the fries to be coated in stretchy, gooey goodness, though otherwise, the fries were pretty decent though a little softer for how it seemed to have gotten a little soggy after being drenched with their house-made tomato sauce.
Overall, Burgs by Project Warung at Viva Business Park still carries the same concept and ideology as how they started off with their initial stall at Golden Mile Food Centre; a Muslim-owned stall that serves up value-for-money burgers to the masses and also accessible to the Muslim community. Having tried the original stall at Golden Mile Food Centre previously when they had first opened, we do feel that we had a better impression of our previous experience at Golden Mile Food Centre as compared to our visit to Viva Business Park; the burger we had back then felt a tad more refined somehow. That being said, the Viva Business Park outlet would most certainly be the branch that is most accessible to residents in the east looking for a wallet-friendly burger that fixes those wildest burger cravings. They are already seemingly popular with the residents around the area even when it is just early days at Viva Business Park; there was already a long queue for their burgers on the weekend night that we had visited, with multiple items already sold out by the time we were there. A place to keep an eye out in the long run, especially if they can continue working on the burgers that they have to offer.
