When i heard that Wildfire Burger was in Singapore, i had always wanted to find a time t try it. Thankfully i was being invited by OpenRice for their food tasting session, which allow me to try it before my original schedule.

The restaurant itself was qite easy to find, just outside of 313 Somerset. However, the lighting there wasn't really suitable for food photography, and we had to use some spotlight to light-up our food in order to take a good shot. Nonetheless, the ambience was quite good for a relax meal after work with your friends.

We tried a total of 7 dishes and my personal favourite are their Southern Style Fried Chicken & Sichuan Fries. The fried chickens are very crispy and juicy, and dipping them in maple syrup is indeed an unique way to eat fried chicken. Surprisingly they tasted a lot better than expected, as the syrup was not too sweet and cover the oilyness of the chicken. As for the Sichuan Fries, there wasn't really any taste until the after-effect kicks in. Our tongue started feeling numb with tingling feeling, and we attributed it to the Sichuan pepper in the dish. Not a lot of people like it, but strangely it was my favourite. My tolerance for spicy food is quite high, and this was something i have never tried before (unlike any other Sichuan Food where the spiciness kicks in immediately).

There was also the Black Ebi Burger & Truffled Mushroom Burger. The prawn patty in the Black Ebi Burger was extremely fresh and juicy, however i did not really like the squid ink injected into the burger (not a big fan). The Truffled Mushroom Burger includes truffle oil and truffled mushroom with a thick and juicy beef patty.

We tried their Curry Fries, Chili Cheese Fries & Sriracha Glazed Fried Chicken as well. Curry Fries was flavourful but a little salty; Chili Cheese Fries wasn't too spicy at all while Sriracha Glazed Fried Chicken was a little too oily and not spicy for my likings.

Overall it was quite a pleasant dining experience and i would certainly bring my friends back to try some of their unique menu. For those who like burgers, fries & fried chicken, this is definitely a place not to miss out! =)
