In celebration of International Burger Day on May 28, we've corralled a selection of sumptuous options made with alternative meat patties
Who doesn’t love a good burger? Considered by many the ultimate comfort food, it’s a luscious combination of perfectly-grilled patties, gooey cheese, fresh greens and tomatoes, stacked between toasted brioche buns.
But we know that too much of a good thing can be bad for you. And that's why there’s been a steady rise of conscious diners looking for plant-based alternatives; the most popular is arguably the Impossible Foods, which debuted in Singapore at eight restaurants in 2019.
Nowadays, you’ll find most burger joints offering Impossible burgers on the menu. But here are five of our favourites.
1. PS.Cafe
When done well, the Impossible burger is popular amongst meat aficionados because it looks and tastes very similar to meat. And this homegrown café does it justice. The patty is cooked to a juicy “medium rare”, so it achieves a beautifully charred exterior and a pinkish core. While the texture is chewier than meat, the taste is closer to grass-fed beef with pronounced earthy notes. This goes well with accompaniments of melted cheddar cheese, sautéed mushrooms, crispy onions, and fresh lettuce and tomatoes, sandwiched between toasted sesame buns. Served with a side of fries.
