Uber burger!

I tried this new restaurant called Uber Burger yesterday night. They're the ones who sell the $101 burger which has truffles-filled bun, foie gras, and wagyu beef. If that type of beef really is so good, I wonder why anyone would grind it up into a pattie? After all, aren't ground beef patties the worst meat you can find 'cos you probably can't tell the difference? Anyway, that burger costs too much, so I went for the $15 sirloin-porkloin burger. The burger bun was the healthy variety, a tad hard and with oats/nuts on it. The pattie was so fat and juicy you can hardly fit it into your mouth! I saw some ladies actually cutting up the bun and pattie into pieces and just forking it into their mouths like that. No no, that's not how you eat burgers man! No matter how thick it is, you gotta squeeze it flat and bite it straight!

After dinner was beer at Paulaner Brauhaus. They really have only 2 types of homebrew, light and dark. That's quite different from the large variety of inhouse brew I expected (like Brewerkz or Pyramid's). I had the light one, very malty and really fresh and good! The band was also good. One of the former Singapore Idol finalists, Beverly, was on hand to make a guest performance. Pretty good singing!
