Not Glazing, But The Coffee Glazed Chicken Burger Is Topnotch Fourscore and two Fridays ago, I had the pleasure of previewing @shakeshacksg latest special at their groovy Disco Night. For many, the news that Shake Shack & @kengengkee had collaborated on The Shackโs newest special was a total surprise. For me it came as no surprise, as I do remember Keng Eng Kee running a short-lived burger concept at their main Alexandria outlet. โ

This collab special might be Shake Shackโs biggest special to date, as they introduce the White Pepper Beef Burger ($15.70 nett for a double), the Coffee Glazed Chicken Burger ($11.80 nett), Coffee Glazed Chicken Bites ($9.10 nett). The White Pepper Beef takes two of The Shackโs fabled smashed patties, tucks them in with a blanket of Monterey Jack cheese, tops them with caramelised onions & fresh scallions, before everything gets saucily sauced up with the special Sarawak white pepper sauce. โ

It sounds utterly weird coming from me, but I think the chicken has the beef beat here. I donโt mean to glaze, but The Coffee Glazed Chicken Burger was a divine revelation. Even though the burger I had was a chicken breast, the inherent dryness of it was completely ameliorated by the sweet & savoury coffee glaze and the moist & tangy coleslaw. The batter on the chicken was also amazing, as it stayed creditably crispy even with the sticky coffee glaze on it. The Chicken Bites were more of the same, albeit without the carbs & the โslaw.โ
