This time, I was invited to another food tasting session by Estelle from Openrice again.
So the pick for today's food tasting was the burgers at FAT BOY'S - the burger bar.
The special thing about our visit this time was that we get to see how meat patties are prepared, and we even get down to make our own patties, with the choice of either beef or pork!
I was greeted to nacho chips with its appetizing tomato sauce,
And spicy drumlets. Really spicy.
We had the privilege and lots of fun to make our own patty!
To prepare the patty, the boss, Bernie said we had to drop the ball of meat hard onto the metal bowl, and knead it well enough so that the condiments and sauces are well mixed into the patty. Apparently, some people's patty wasn't very nice, and they suspect kneading was not enough. But please don't worry! All patties are prepared by the experienced chefs. Now here's the food!
On top of my own beefpork patty (that I made myself), I added Fried Egg, Bacon, Sauteed Shitake Mushroom and Cheddar Cheese sandwiched between Honey Oat Bun, paired with Fatboy's Homemade BBQ sauce. It turned out very delicious! I am so proud of myself for coming out with something nice and edible. Hahaha. So after the calculation, this well-sized burger will cost a humble $18.40 only! It comes with fries, lettuce and tomato with no additional charges. I give my votes to FatBoy's, hands down.
You know what, I really thought this burger was totally worth the price! You should be convinced by looking at how thick the beef patty is.
I do want to mention about the Honey Oat Bun as well. It's very soft and tender, and the surface of the bun is non-crispy like how usually fastfood restaurants' burger buns are. I could taste a hint of honey-sweetness in the bun as well, and I love it!
I opted for the Fatboy's homemade BBQ sauce because I wanted to try about something they have invented, or rather something they called it theirs. I didn't want to overcrowd the burger with different sauces and eventually confuse my tastebud, so I only chose one sauce. And the result? Perfect!
The sauce carries a slight tangy savor which really appetize me as I dig into my huge beefpork patty.
I paired my burger with this bold-looking milkshake and you'll never guess what I have in here.
Strawberry milkshake + caramel + banana + oreo crush. $9.30
Okay I admit ten bucks for a milkshake might surprised you a little. That's also because I added 3 different things into my milkshake. Again, you could customize your own milkshake!!!
If you could get something that could easily buy you over because the milkshake was so thick and generous, would you mind that amount? For me, it's a once-in-a-while indulgence that I wouldn't mind.
Look at the oreo crush on the milkshake, and the caramel sauce all over the cup.
The taste was very strong and thick. At my very first sip, I could taste the banana that was well blended into the strawberry milkshake. In fact, a bad thing is the banana taste has covered the strawberry.
About the place: A pretty big sized restaurant without air-conditioning. But the fans have provided enough ventilation, so I thought it's fine! The place was a little crowded even at 3pm, so imagine its popularity.
I think this place is very friendly catered to big groups with the tables and seats at least 6 seaters.
Overall, FATBOY'S definitely serves delicious burgers at an affordable price. Or rather, every part of the burger is worth the penny! No kidding!
By now, you should know that you can customize your own burger with the comprehensive menu of items show here:
Now go have fun and make your burger that can truly satisfy your cravings! Hope you liked my review!
