This wasn't meant to be an ION Orchard streak. But we were in the area again, and went downstairs to see if there were somewhere we could get a quick bite at. Just a couple stalls down from Menya Kaiko was this outlet of a Japanese burger chain (#B4-56). Beef patties shoved into Chinese mantou-like steamed buns didn't look very enticing, but we figured that we'd give it a shot.
We grabbed the eponymous R Burger, which came dressed with shiso leaf and pickled daikon. As much as I love both of those items in Japanese food, I just couldn't get into this. The bun kept annoyingly sticking to the roof of my mouth, and there was just no "oomph" that made me want to eat it again. The avocado cheese burger didn't really get me excited either.
Oh well. As much as I love how wonderful Japanese localization can be, somehow I just can't get into Japanese hamburgers...at least, based upon this and Mos Burger. There are a few Japanese chains that I do want to try next time I'm up there, but in the meantime I'll stick to burgers from back home.

A very good burger joint is Smokin'Frogs Kitchen at Bukit Timah Road, before Old Holland Road. Lots of great beers to wash it down with as well. London pride on tap, plus alot of duvels, chimays, the works_+) do check it out!
Hello!
I love food porn, and somehow I was googling images of food and found your blog! I stop by now and again, and I'm always amazed at the different places you've been to! What kind of job do you have that allows you to travel to often? Why did I pick the nursing profession! Also, do you ever worry about your health from eating out so much? :)
I'm so jealous! Keep on traveling hungry-boy!
good. Keep up your good work on this blog. Like the simple style with simple photo and words. Many thanks to share~~
Hey there! i happened to stumble across your blog. Love your blog! I have the same thoughts as Jenny M, how do you get to travel so often???
5 minutes south of SFO is an In and Out. Need a good burger fix? There you go.
Not a fan of places that charge too much for dry burgers...
