NBCB, Orchard Central

This spot was where Omakase Burger used to be. I had previously tried the cheese burger from NBCB (#04-23 Orchard Central, 181 Orchard Road, tel : +65 8872 0160 ) when they started their business which was available on delivery only. I thought it wasn't bad tasting then even though the buns were thoroughly soggy. 

Now that we've had the chance to have them freshly made, it didn't seem to taste as good. It was a very juicy cb for sure 😂 but the patty seemed to lack flavour. There was also too much saucing which I'm interpreting as an attempt to mask the blandness. Pretty disappointing. 

I'm gonna take this opportunity to compare them with a bunch of other burgers we've had in the recent couple of years which I think are alternatives. Just a couple of years or the list will get too long.

• 2280 - Their double cheeseburger was less expensive and tasted better. Nicer tasting fries also.
• Employees Only - The EO Smash Burger was obviously superior in every aspect. Reflected on their price tag as well which I would gladly rather pay actually. 
• McD - Sad but true case, the factory mass produced Angus cheeseburger was a nicer eat. Cheaper and more enjoyable
• Jollibee - Aloha burger was a different quality which has resulted in a different beast but I'd rather eat it too. Cheaper and more enjoyable.
• Astons Specialities - Same price but I'd pick them over it because of the cleaner flavour.
• Hammee's - Cheaper and definitely better tasting cheese burgers. 
• One Fattened Calf - Not necessarily cheaper but the meat quality was superior and I like them better. Nicer fries
• Ordinary Burgers - Cheaper and much better tasting cheese burgers.
• Phat Burger Bro. - Obviously better done burgers and they're a bit more expensive as well. Nicer fries here as well.
• Shake Shack - No way NBCB can beat Shake Shack's cheese burgers in terms of taste.
• Omakase Burger - They are not around anymore, they aren't cheap but they're doubtlessly superior.
• Five Guys - I definitely rather eat Five Guys who are just a little bit more expensive. The customization options blows NBCB out of the water.

Fries are okay. Tasted like those from Long John Silvers. Absorbs the cb juices well. 😅

The bandung milkshake was kinda nice. Creamy, milky and just enough of the flavour from the rose syrup.
