Broadway American Diner

Besides the behemoth beef burger, @broadwayamericandiner also does a few other burgers with a few other protein options.

As for the Buttermilk Chicken & Cheese Burger ($16++ as well) the breaded & deep fried buttermilk marinated chicken was crisp on the outside & juicy within, but the over abundance of piquant peri peri sauce was too domineering and became the only discernible flavour in the burger. I love a saucy burger, but the peri peri sauce was just a bit too much of a good thing.⠀

Thank you so much for the invite, @burpple & @broadwayamericandiner!

Besides the behemoth beef burger, @broadwayamericandiner also does a few other burgers with a few other protein options. First up is the Hot Smoked Salmon Burger ($16++), which might be the most peculiar option. It’s not just smoked salmon slices sandwiched in a burger, oh no. It’s got herbs, ikura (salmon roe) cucumber apple yogurt and pistachio cream cheese all stuffed between two halves of that freshly baked in house brioche I was praising previously.⠀
⠀
The smoked salmon was superbly smoky & provided most of the savouriness in the burger, and the expected fishiness was well managed by the zesty, slightly sweet cucumber apple yogurt. Combined with the super savoury & rich pistachio cream cheese which had an interesting texture akin to feta cheese, the Smoked Salmon Burger was a flavourful fusion of interesting elements, all nicely stuffed betwixt two halves of a brilliant brioche burger bun.⠀

And now for the meatiest matter on hand and @broadwayamericandiner crown jewel: The Double Cheese Black Angus Beef & Bacon Burger ($24++). It’s quite the monster, and the size of the burger is most definitely American. It is certainly big on size, but is it big on flavours? Fortunately for us, the answer is yes.⠀
⠀
The ultra thick patties were simply but sufficiently seasoned, and the saltiness of the bacon makes it meaty and pleasurable. However, most of the depth of flavour comes from the black pepper mushroom sauce ladled over the patties. As a guy who isn’t keen on black pepper, I found this sauce to be properly peppery, and it was satisfyingly savoury with bits of mushroom interspersed throughout. My dad, however, thought that they could be bolder with the black pepper.⠀
⠀
This meaty & savoury bonanza is balanced out by the inclusion of fresh lettuce & and a couple of thick slices of tomato, all stuffed between two halves of a stunningly soft bun that’s baked fresh in house. The burger bun was truly tremendous, so much so that it managed to steal some of the thunder from the mass of marvellous meat. It was fluffy, just dense enough to provide satisfaction without being stodgy, and pillowy.⠀
⠀
With all those praises being said, trying to chow down on this behemoth burger was not the easiest or most efficient of experiences. I’ve said it a hundred times and I’ll say it a thousand times more: burgers should be wider, NOT taller. The problem with the ultra thick patties is the uneven cook on them, the exterior was well done and a little tough, while the interior had just reached medium rare. I’m certainly not asking for a smashburger, but if Broadway could flatten & widen their beefy burger patties, that’d be great. That much meat stacked that thick does tend to make chewing a chore pretty quickly.⠀

Thanks for the invite, @burpple & @broadwayamericandiner!

Diners seem like a curious relic from the Golden Age of American hegemony in the 1950s, but if you’ve ever read an Archie comic, you’ve definitely wanted to experience an all American diner. Here at @broadwayamericandiner , you can get a taste of the quintessential American diner, complete with burgers and milkshakes.⠀
⠀
Speaking of milkshakes, it would be remiss of you not to order one. Broadway’s shakes are expensive at $13++ a glass, but these shakes are DUMMY THICC. It’s a lot more efficient to just gulp it down as opposed to trying to drink it through a straw, that’s how thick it is. I was impressed with just how close their Onde Onde shake was to real ondeh ondeh. The shake was chock full of pandan aromas & the sweetness of gula melaka, but it did get a tad too sweet after a while.⠀
⠀
As for the starters, they have Ol’ Reliable: chicken wings. I have no idea why these wings are described as Buffalo Wings ($12++ per order) as they are clearly not sauced up. Still, the crunchy coating of batter encasing the moist meat within was excellent , and these wings paired perfectly with the Peri Peri sauce on the side.⠀
⠀
These wings also feature in Broadway’s mammoth Meat Platter ($36++), which represents the carnivorous food pyramid. The long sausages in the Meat Platter were delightfully delicious with an outstanding texture, and the hamburger patties…well, that’s another review for another day.⠀

There’s no shortage of American diners in Singapore, but Broadway boasts the unbeatable trifecta of great location, affordable pricing and delicious food.

The 𝗕𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗔𝗻𝗴𝘂𝘀 𝗕𝗲𝗲𝗳 & 𝗕𝗮𝗰𝗼𝗻 𝗕𝘂𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗿 ($18) delivered an explosion of flavours and textures with a nicely grilled 150g beef patty, cheddar cheese, gherkins, tomatoes and black pepper mushroom sauce.

Despite the deluge of peri peri sauce overpowering the succulent chicken thigh, the 𝗕𝘂𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗸 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗻 & 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗕𝘂𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗿 ($16) was still decent. Both burgers came with brilliantly buttered buns that enchanted us, and a large serving of crispy fries.

A carnivore’s dream come true, the 𝗠𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 ($36) can feed 2-3 people. Although the Angus beef patties were hard around the edges, they were redeemed by their pink and tender centres. The juicy hotdogs, crispy buffalo wings and irresistible curly fries made up the rest of this sumptuous platter.

Any visit to a diner isn’t complete without an order of milkshakes. The 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘄𝗯𝗲𝗿𝗿𝘆 𝗠𝗮𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗽𝗼𝗻𝗲 and the 𝗢𝗻𝗱𝗲-𝗢𝗻𝗱𝗲 ($13 each) were both extremely decadent, and will definitely satisfy those with a sweet tooth.
