Had a tasting event and tried these few dishes and will give individual dishes review:

1) Black Ebi Burger

This is a very interesting burger as the bun is charcoal black and is due to it being seasoned with squid ink. The deep fried Ebi patty is very crispy and thick and it is a good meat to veg ratio. The prawn in the patty is really succulent and pairs super well with the soft sweet bun. The sauces are likely to be a peppery mayo and squid ink garlic aioli. 
All in all a very good Jap themed burger. (Comes with a good amount of fries - sweet paprika, pepper and salt seasoned)

2) Truffled Mushroom Burger

Easily my favourite dish of the night. Abundant Aragula/rocket leaves and mushrooms (well-seasoned) on top of a thick beef patty. The truffle and truffle oil really lifts the burger to more refined taste level and the garlic aioli really helps to tie in the whole burger (the earthy umami mushroom and truffle taste with the sweetness of the aioli and bun and the peppery Aragula). And to add a richness to the burger, it is topped with gruyre cheese (melts over the burger just oh so nicely).
(Comes with a good amount of fries - sweet paprika, pepper and salt seasoned)

3) Southern Style fried Chicken

This fried chicken is to die for. It is chicken thigh pieces (no bone and the skin oh my!) fried to perfection. It is super tender and crispy at the same time. It was a good portion of about 8-10 pieces and the sauce accompanying, the maple syrup, really tied into the Southern Style and made me wish there were waffles also! (hahah I am greedy)
One of the best fried chicken I ever had (likely due to the well fried buttermilk batter coating)

4) Sriracha Glazed Fried Chicken

Same as the fried chicken above but topped with adundant amount of Sriracha. Whoever prefers spicy to go with their fried chicken should order this. (my personal taste tends to lean towards sweet that's why I prefer the above chicken)
The spice level is mild and will not blow your head off. Goes really well with beer. 

5) Curry Fries

Thick cut fries with strong curry taste and topped with deep fried curry leaves, which gives a good flavour kick. The fries are fragant and well balanced in taste. And the fries are really abundant (can share amongst 3 guys over a beer). 

6) Sichuan Fries

Unfortunately the least favourite dish of the night. The sichuan peppercorn aftertaste really numbs the tongue and coupled with the sour after taste, the dish just did not do for me. Novel but not my thing.

7) Chilli Cheese Fries

Abundant amount of beef chilli, good topping of sour cream and scallions on top adds a different flavour dimension. One note, you have to eat this quickly or the fries will start to be soggy due to the beef chilli topping (especially if you want to retain the beautiful crisp that Wildfire Burgers does with their fries).

Supplementary Information:
All in all, it was an amazing tasting experience and the food was amazing. I feel the chef coming out to introduce his dishes and answer any queries was a nice touch.

If you are looking for familiar American bold dishes cooked with Asian flair, Wildfire Burgers will not disappoint and I highly recommend this place. And the location is just perfect, you have the feel of dining Alfresco but it is sheltered and so windy and for Singapore's weather, this is an absolute plus plus plus.

On 13th January 2016, my husband and I were honored to be invited for a free food-tasting session at Wildfire Burgers, a restaurant located at 313 Somerset, Orchard Road. The restaurant itself was in a prominent spot, a breeze to find, and the overall ambience was pretty pleasant. We got to try a total of seven dishes: Black Ebi Burger, Truffled Mushroom Burger, Southern Style Fried Chicken, Sriracha Glazed Fried Chicken, Curry Fries, Sichuan Fries and Chilli-Cheese Fries.

The Black Ebi Burger was the first dish tasted. It is very flavorful and the shrimp has a nice bite to it. The Truffled Mushroom Burger, however, was far more outstanding to me and easily became one of my favourite and most memorable dishes of the night. This burger consisted of a bread bun, a beef patty, mushrooms and rocket leaves. I must mention that the mushrooms, in particular, were cooked to a very nice texture - very smooth and aromatic with a soft bite to it. Its flavor blends beautifully and harmoniously with the texture and taste of the rocket leaves. The beef patty was a tad too hard and dry for me - however, that was my only disappointment with the burger. The bun is soft and sweet, and the overall taste of the burger is cohesive and well thought out. A must try especially for mushroom lovers! smile

The two chicken dishes which followed are a joy to eat. We got to try the Southern Style Fried Chicken and the Sriracha Glazed Fried Chicken. In both dishes, the chicken thigh meat is smooth, succulent, juicy, glistening and tender. Both items were very tasty, and the best part is that the meat is boneless for easy eating and maximum enjoyment. The Southern Style Fried Chicken features a dip of maple syrup, which makes for a nice and palatable blend of sweet and salty. The Sriracha Glazed Fried Chicken featured a bright red-colored sauce that was delightfully spicy, refreshing without going too overboard on the "hotness" factor. 

The last three dishes featured in the night's menu were Curry Fries, Sichuan Fries and Chilli-Cheese Fries. I was greeted with a delightful burst of fresh curry flavor with the Curry Fries, yet happy to note that the curry taste itself was not overdone. Deep-fried curry leaves added a unique fragrance twist to the dish, enahncing the taste and making it more memorable. The Sichuan Fries, however, was a dish that I would probably not be eating very frequently, as the taste did not appeal to me personally, plus there was a strong tingling sensation which numbs the tongue and can get overwhelming when eaten in abundance. I guess the sensation gotten from eating the Sichuan Fries can be described as somewhat interesting, but this was my least memorable part of the meal. The Chilli-Cheese Fries were far more enjoyable for my taste buds. A wonderful blend of both texture and flavor of the ingredients, the taste of both the beef chilli and cheese intermingled together, with the dollops of sour cream on top being a nice finishing touch.

Overall, it was a memorable evening, the organisers of the event were pleasant, easy going and natural in their interaction with guests. The restaurant staff were excellent and accomodating, and service was good. Will definitely recommend this place to my friends. smile
