Interesting how burgers have become the comfort food during this stay-at-home period, to soothe your soul while filling your tummy.
Is it because they are easy to consume – just grab, hold and eat? Or that they provide the sense of familiarity yet with creative flavours?
I find that burgers are fuss-free to pick-up (colloquially dabao) and survive better than some food items after delivery. No doubt some can become slightly soggy, but most stay relatively in shape.
One thing for sure, there are many trendy and gourmet burger places popping up in Singapore. They also offer islandwide delivery via Oddle Eats so that we can skip the line to dine the best.
There is CARNE conceptualised by the Chef behind World’s Number One restaurant Mirazur; Burger Bench & Bar by celebrity Chef Willin Low which has made a surprise return after 10 years; and famed Burger & Lobster known for succulent Nebraskan burgers.
Whether you like them stuffed, savoury, hot, or piled high with toppings, here are 10 trendy gourmet burgers with islandwide delivery:

Burger Bench & Bar

Burger Bench & Bar may have closed 10 years ago at Orchard Cineleisure, and it has made its return.
Many guests have asked Chef Willin Low to bring it back, and this burger brand is now resurrected as a delivery-only pop-up via Oddle Eats. (They may consider making it permanent depending on response.)
There are 4 burgers right now (3 beef + 1 chicken), with Sarawak Black Pepper Cheeseburger ($16.90), Japanese Curry Torikatsu Burger ($16.90), Caramelised Onions Cheeseburger ($16.90), and Sauté Mushrooms Cheeseburger ($16.90).
All the juicy patties you bite into are made by hand, while sauces are cooked with only the freshest ingredients.
My personal favourite is the Sarawak Black Pepper Cheeseburger ($16.90) comprising of handmade beef patty, Sarawak black pepper sauce, Bombay red onion and melted cheddar cheese.
Apparently, Chef Willin was experimenting with a thick black pepper sauce for another crab dish, and thought this worked great with the cheese burger. Fresh cut red onions were subsequently added for that bolt of refreshing flavour.
As to why Sarawak peppers, known for its concentrated flavour which results in a hot and pure bite, another chef who is also from Sarawak insisted on using it.
So far the sets have been selling quite well, and Chef Willin said it was encouraging for the team. Recommended is the Set Menu B ($46.10) with choice of any 2 burgers, 1 French Fries and 4 pieces of Har Jeong Chicken Wings.
The batter of the wings is developed deliberately for delivery so that they stay crunchy.
