Been seeing so many reviews of 25 Degrees burgers, with some touting them as the best burgers in Singapore. Meanwhile, others say that it's not as good as its made out to be. I decided to try it out for myself and got the crowd favourite, Number One, which is a burger consisting of a sirloin steak beef patty, caramelized onions, crescenza, prelibato gorgonzola, bacon, arugula and thousand island dressing.
I had this burger twice, once fresh in the restaurant and the other after dabao-ing and self reheating. Lemme just say that the difference is pretty significant, so definitely dine-in when getting this.
The beef patty is a little different from other beef burgers I've had. The mince is a little less fine and has a chewier, more steak-like texture to it. It's also really generously seasoned with pepper, making it the pepperiest patty I've had. I'd say I prefer other beef patties I've had but the standout of this would definitely be that extremely thicc and generous amount of meat.
This burger is pretty loaded with ingredients that give it a variety of flavour and texture, like the salty, crispy bacon and the sweet caramelised onions. I can see why this is a crowd favourite! However personally I didn't enjoy the cheese as much because it's those rubbery kinds that don't melt, and melty cheese is the best cheese imo.
