[CLOSED] Fatboy's The Burger Bar (Holland Village)

my regular when i come here!! so good the pepper is shiok and the fried crispy onion bits + blue cheese sauce elevates this burger! the cheese sauce is not too pungent and everything went well tgt 😋 the portion is HUGE i always cant finish the fries 😅

Fatboy’s is my favourite burger place in Singapore. They do their beef patties medium well, but they are moist, dense and juicy. The buns were immensely soft to the bite. Sounds like a simple burger but so satisfying to eat.

The salted egg fries were heavenly. The fries were warm, thick and soft, sprinkled with savoury and sweet salted egg sauce. Delicious.

(The little salad at the side is just a feeble attempt to mitigate the sinfulness of this meal.)

Each plate comes with: classic cheeseburger, chicken burger, onion rings and sweet potato fries.

Highlight of this platter was the humongous onion rings. Super crunchy and airy! We all found the chicken burger to be a bit dry. Think they used chicken breast for the patty. Personally, I prefer chicken thigh for my fried meats.

Would get this again to share! Really humongous servings that are bang for your buck.

Home is where the heart is. If that statement were to be taken literally with a mild hint of a non-existent comedic rhetoric, I would be the proud owner of over a hundred different properties on the island. Over the course of four years, a list of prominence has been established in the Brobdingnagian brain of mine for the one place to be for any and all kinds of food. Ramen? Just head down to [redacted] for some soulful soups and noods. Craving dim sum? My incorporeal form recommends [redacted] for their hearty xiaolongbao spread. Hopefully, from the moment you laid eyes on the photograph heading this very long chunk of words that entail, you may intelligently assume that we’re going to be talking about the one place for burgers.

The place in mind is a home away from home, a dim and dusky retreat with an iconic no-bullshit attitude and boldness that is apparent in their burgers. With classic kickass burgers like The Yolo ($18.50++) which features gloriously greasy layers of Spam, fried egg, fried onion strings, fried mozzarella cheese sticks nestled between an innocent sesame seed bun, the Fat Boys legion does the basics well and they do it right. Straying from the norm is The Elvis ($11.50++), a burger that defies purity with its juicy bacon-stuffed pork patty topped with grilled bananas and slathered with peanut butter. Unorthodox, but with all things coming out of the kitchen under their roof, delicious.

My personal favourite throughout the years remains to be a staple of what I believe to be a burger of the utmost perfect proportions. Their Shroom Melt ($13.80++) features a thick and juicy beef chuck patty that is then topped with sautéed shiitake mushrooms, melted Swiss cheese, and garlic aioli on a wine-hued chia seed wholemeal bun. In addition to the sheer melt-in-your-mouth goodness that the buttery bundle of joy exudes, a personal touch of truffle mayonnaise and beef chilli cheese fries make for a complete and perfect mid-week cheat meal. Great place for great food and a great life thereafter.

truly impossible — it was so good!!! couldn’t really distinguish between this and actual meat, and the bun was good (not too tough, but also did not crumble)

I was weird and i added sautéed onions (were sweet as heck, meh), peanut butter, avocado & lettuce ($1 for lettuce 😭). Everything was good until i took my first bite. The honey oat bun disintegrated immediately.... like everywhere broke. It’s probably cause it was left there for quite a while...

Taste was okay, patty was soft & melts together with my condiments really well but just the bun :(
