Back in August of 2009 I wrote that I wanted to eat better; that inspired by Michael Pollan’s The Omnivore’s Dilemma and Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall’s River Cottage I wanted to eat foods that were as real and unprocessed as possible.
I think I may just have found a mother-lode today.
Burger Bench & Bar, found on the first floor of Orchard Cineleisure, is a fast food burger joint quite unlike any other. According to them, their burger patties ‘are always oddly shaped’ because they’re hand-made, and they believe that ‘fast food does not have to be processed by machines or artificially flavored.’
Unprocessed, hand-made food coming in the shape of a burger – one of my favorite foods ever – I am so in. And, I am lucky to report, the most important part didn’t disappoint; I had the mushroom beef burger and it was delicious.
The mushroom beef burger, absolutely delicious.
It was pricier than a typical fast-food meal at S$8 a burger, an extra S$1 for potato and radish chips, and S$2.80 for a drink. But you know what, I’d rather pay a little extra to know that I’m eating something real – not something that’s been pumped full of chemicals and dinged up in a microwave. Good stuff, I will be back, and if you’re in the neighborhood, go check it out!
No preservatives, no MSG, no processed meat? Booyah!

It’s not a bad place, but unfortunately only their pricier counter Relish is in the Top Ten at HungryGoWhere… http://www.hungrygowhere.com/top10/Burger/
