De Burg Singapore, The Warrior's Snack: 9.5/10

• Created by Singaporean Andrew Sim who returned to the island after living in New York wanting to satisfy his US-style burger cravings, De Burg has not only filled this gap, but completely SMASHED it!! This is a *world-class* product, and if you're local you need to get yourself to Kallang Bahru to experience this, pronto!
• The menu spoils you for choice, but the 600g triple-patty signature 'stacked' burger, The Warrior's Snack, is a stand-out option: a meaty monster with blackpepper sauce, portbello mushroom gravy, and cheese layered between each beautifully cooked almost-half-pounder, this showcase of prime Australian beef is an absolute knockout.
• Moreish french fries both come with your burger, and ARE UNLIMITED (we tried it) - talk about icing on the cake!
• De Burg is a carnivore's dream - you'd be hard pushed to find a much better burger anywhere in the world, so head out to this dive bar for an unforgettable meat hit.

Fatboy's The Burger Bar, Fat Basterd: 7.25/10

• As you'd expect, burgers are indeed popular around the world, and Singapore is no exception! The Fatboy's concept was born out of a desire by two brothers to fill a gap in the market for casual, authentic, old school comfort food. Judging by their success in rolling Fatboy's out across Singapore, Malaysia, China and Cambodia I'd say they've succeeded!

• Variety is the name of the menu game, amply catering to the range of carnivores and vegetarians who make up Singapore's multi-cultural diners: beef, lamb, pork, chicken, mushroom, the choice of patty is truly yours.

• My Fat Basterd burger was swiftly delivered, and MASSIVE! The only double-patty offering on the menu, I hadn't expected this towering feast:

Probably stands a good 5 inches high!!

• Moreover, this is quality AND quantity (if a little on the sweet side - easy on the ketchup!). The succulent texture and robust meatiness of my beef chuck patties layered with juicy ribbons of bacon, gloriously smothering blankets of melted cheddar cheese, and a fried, oozy-yolked egg partition was truly comfort food in a squishy sesame bun:

• At SGD19.80 for the flagship Fat Basterd, it was a relief that fries are included with all burgers, and even better to discover how good they are! Exactly the kind of slim, crispy french fries that perfectly accompanies a hearty burger:

• Fatboy's truly exceeded my expectations, successfully delivering an eating experience on-par with many top London burger joints, AND at an equivalently better price - what more could you ask for!

Chosen Bun, The Shoveman: 7.75/10

• A homegrown British venture, Chosen Bun launched their gourmet burger delivery service in 2013, an apparent world first. From their Fulham Broadway outpost, a fleet of branded mopeds serve a 2 mile catchment with inventive, gastronomic burgers, sides and milkshakes, ordered online. High-end takeaway for the lazy digital foodie!

• The tongue-in-cheek personalisation of the menu conveys a real authenticity and social provenance, rather than a corporate lab with teams of food scientists. For example, The Shoveman bacon cheeseburger is a portmanteau homage to the founders Andy Shovel and Pete Sharman, with similar stories littered across the menu.

• The end result is a range of thoughtfully crafted products, brimming with attention to detail, complete with customisation options (menu). You can get extras of anything on anything (individually priced), including additional patties - a gamut of choice!

• My burger, sides and milkshake were delivered to my door 25mins from ordering, arriving perfectly warm and cold as required. With fresh, tastefully chosen ingredients (no pun intended) the bacon cheeseburger was appetising, but ate like a sum of it's parts rather than a holistic sensory overload:

Beef patty, caramelised red onion and garlic chutney, lettuce, cheddar cheese, shoveman sauce, smoked streaky bacon and nicks pickles.

• Thankfully however, the fried mac and cheese bites are DIVINE!! With crunchy panko breadcrumb coating, rich and creamy sauce, fresh herbs and a light chew of pasta, Chosen Bun have *nailed* this:

Quite possibly the best side dish in London, I defy you NOT to love these!

• The triple-cooked chips paled in comparison given the exceptional competition, but objectively are highly edible - basically a roast potato in chip form:

• Good milkshakes too! All in all, a solid burger startup worthy of your money in a crowded market should you find yourself in West London!
