KGB Burger

I am not the biggest burger fan, but I must say I heard quite a few people rave about KGB. Hidden away in a narrow alley in Shida, it is a popular spot amongst locals, tourists and students.

I must say I was impressed by their burgers, not to mention the value for money.





My friends and I got there at about 8pm on a Friday night and it was jam packed. we ended up waiting for an hour and managed to kill time at a cozy little cafe. After a drink each, we made our way to KGB and I must say the burgers were definitely worth the wait.

KGB has a range of burgers and sauces. The meat is of great quality and the sauces and patties are all made in house.



Also, if you are veggie then fear not! KGB has not one or two, but nine veggie burgers so you will be spoilt for choice. Any burger on the menu can be converted and served as a veggie burger. They have a mushroom veggie burger and lentil+walnut pattie burgers, which come with various toppings and sauces. I was really craving a mushroom burger but for some silly reason...actually I blame my hunger, I ordered the first thing that stood out and completely forgot about the mushroom burger! I ended up  getting the (slim) satay chicken burger. With all the chicken burgers, you could choose between grilled chicken or fried chicken - I went with the grilled chicken. The burger came with some tomatoes, onion, crunchy lettuce and a dollop of crunchy satay sauce.

Each burger also came with a side of salad or fries - you also get the option to upgrade your fries or salad if you want to oomph it a bit. I went for regular fries (over salad), because hey it was a friday - thought I'd treat myself. Plus i hadn't eaten fries in about three months or so..is that weird?

I'd recommend KGB for days when you want a cozy, chilled dinner with friends. Although, be prepared to wait as it is a popular spot for burger lovers.
