South Bronx Burger @ Pomo

A new burger joint has opened at Pomo, taking over the defunct The Connoisseur Concerto (TCC). South Bronx Burger is the brainchild by the folks behind Montana Brew Bar. Taking over the two storey space, the team has converted the space into a 3-in-1 concept with South Bronx Burger located at the first floor while Montana Cafe and Fabulous Dough is on the second level.

Mac & Cheese Fritters with Tomato Relish Dip 4.2/5

We started with some light snacks from the sides menu. The Mac & Cheese Fritters with Tomato Relish Dip ($8) definitely won me over with its crispy exterior and cheesy macaroni stuffing inside.

Beer Battered BBQ Chicken Wings 3.5/5

The other light snack we tried was the Beer Battered BBQ Chicken Wings ($7). While the skin was crispy and the interior was juicy, the seasoning was on the mild side. I preferred something more intense in seasoning especially if I am having it with a beer.

The Mac Daddy 4.2/5 and Original Rump Shaker 4/5

Coming to South Bronx Burger, definitely I should try their handcrafted fresh beef patties. We started with The Mac Daddy ($16) and Original Rump Shaker ($12). The worthy note is that all the burgers here comes with three different types of fries. Hence there is something for everyone. The original rump shaker burger comes with house-made beef patty, signature sauce, smoked bacon and melted cheese slice. The mac daddy burger which is topped with jalapeno and mac & cheese is my favourite. Besides the moist and juicy patty, the jalapeno provided the additional kick to the whole enjoyment. If there is one thing I would like to see improvement will be the bun. It remembers me of those Macdonald bun which is on the doughy side. I prefer those that is more light and airy. It could be my personal preference.

Sir Spam-A-Lot 4.2/5

An unique burger in the menu is the Sir Spam-A-Lot ($12). Spam lover with like the luncheon meat burger that comes with a fried egg, smoked bacon, grilled pineapple rings, spicy BBQ mayo and a thick luncheon meat patty. The interesting combination surprisingly work wonderfully in harmony for a delicious burger creation.

What is burger without beer?. At South Bronx Burger, it also offers an extensive selection of beers to go with the burger. Get your hands messy as you chomp down the burger and wash it down with a bottle of beer.

Famous Depot 108 Claypot Laksa @ Depot Road

I remembered back in my army days, I used to frequent this claypot laksa place at 108 depot road which took up the whole coffeeshop. The coffeeshop was very run down but it is always crowded during lunch time. Since the estate undergone renovation, I have not been back until recently. The coffeeshop is gone and the block is rebuilt into a shopping centre with a food court on second level. Located inside the food court is Famous Depot 108 Claypot Laksa, selling the same claypot laksa. I am not sure whether it is related to the original

Claypot Laksa 

The laksa comes in a thick gravy served in a claypot. The Claypot Laksa ($3.50) is piping hot with tau pok, cockles, fish cakes and prawn. The claypot laksa is pretty good with its thick gravy, rich coconut and fragrant dried shrimps.

The thick and creamy gravy was rich and robust in flavours, coating the silky smooth noodles for a bowl of slurping goodness. The gravy is not as spicy as I would have like but you can always add more yourself. I do like the idea of the using the claypot as it keeps the noodle warm. However the cockles may get overcooked, so do remember to eat them quickly.

Overall Famous Depot 108 Claypot Laksa sells a good bowl of laksa that I finished it to the very last drop of the gravy. The price is also quite reasonable.
