HANS IM GLUCK @ Vivocity - Get Thrice As Lucky With Their Brand New Menu Of Grill-ty Pleasures

HansImGluck6

German Burgergill originating from Munich, HANS IM GLUCK is known for its gourmet burger concept and creating burgers that are unique, healthy and delicious. Together with German draft beers and cocktail mixology, diners get to enjoy a mystical "dining in the woods" experience sitting amongst birch trees and oak furniture.

Entering into its third year in Singapore, the restaurant launches a completely refreshed menu in October, featuring 10 new burgers across the different patty categories, including two new vegan burgers with a plant-based patty, and vegan cheese, a first in Singapore. Following the introduction of its new burgers, HANS IM GLUCK now has the most extensive vegan and vegetarian burger selection in town boasting over 16 different options to choose from.

KRAFTPAKET 4/5

Bite into the juicy beef patty of the KRAFTPAKET ($17++), which comes enveloped in a beautiful black pepper crust to complement the beef flavours, and wonderfully blends the two complementary tastes. Round it off with strips of crispy bacon and a sunny side-up egg.

LANDGOCKEL 3.8/5

Another new addition is their LANDGOCKEL ($17++) which marries a perfectly grilled tender and juicy chicken breast with mushrooms, giving the burger a woody, earthy flavour. Topped it off with a sunny side up egg with a runny yolk to meld all the elements together.

From the thirst quencher selection, we had their Original Raspberry Basil which mixes the sweet-sour flavour of the raspberry with the peppery notes of basil for a refreshing drink. The Eistee Forest Berry & Cucumber is a different take on the classic ice lemon tea, featuring sweet forest berries infused with refreshing cucumber.

Wok In Burger @ JCube - Kungfu Zi Char Burgers

WokInBurger27

Wok In Burger is a new concept by the third generation of Keng Eng Kee (KEK) Seafood restaurant. Doing what they know best, they are bringing the local zi char dishes in the form of burgers to the table. They started experiencing at their Pandan Garden outlet which has now closed but brought the burger concept back to Keng Eng Kee (KEK) Seafood restaurant at Bukit Merah. Recently, they also opened a new outlet at Jcube.

Green Apple Curry Burger 4/5

What makes Wok In Burger different is their unique Asian style patty with Asian sauces. For example, the Green Apple Curry Burger ($15.80), with a choice of pork or chicken. My eyes brightened up at my first bite, as I tasted something familiar. The curry sauce reminds me of the popular sauce from a particular fast-food restaurant. I jokingly asked if they made the sauce or took it from the fast-food restaurant. I love the addition of green apple, giving the burger a refreshing crunch.

Fish Skin Salted Egg Burger 4/5

Standing towering tall is the Fish Skin Salted Egg Burger ($15.80). Like the other burgers, it comes with a choice of pork or chicken. We have the pork cutlet drenched in the delicious salted egg sauce. The fish skins give the burger the extra crunch on top of the soft fluffy bun.

WokInBurger25
Sambal Fish Burger 3.5/5

If you are a pescatarian, there is the Sambal Fish Burger. Sandwiched in between the soft and fluffy sesame buns is a slab of moist fish fillet with crispy batter paired with fragrant sambal sauce.

Strawberry Cereal Fried Rice 3.5/5

Besides burgers, Wok In Burger offers fried rice and pasta on the menu too. For example, the Strawberry Cereal Fried Rice ($12.80) is another unique take of the usual zi char items. It even comes with a fried egg to complete the meal.

WokInBurger12
Marmite Chicken Aglio Olio 3.8/5

WokInBurger21
Black Pepper Beef Spaghetti 4/5

For the pasta dishes, we tried the Marmite Chicken Aglio Olio ($10.80) and Black Pepper Beef Spaghetti ($12.80). It is a skill to wok-fried pasta in a wok, while still having an al dente bite to it. The marmite chicken comes with chunky, juicy chicken pieces glazed with the sweet and savoury sticky sauce. If you like it spicy, I would recommend the tender black pepper beef spaghetti.

Not to be missed is their latest $6.90 Set Meal promotion for students, senior citizen (60 years and above), Singapore Armed Forces (Army, Navy & Air Force), Police Force and Civil Defence and Nurses. The set meal comes with a choice of one main, an iced lemon tea and a scoop of ice cream.
