Wife: char siu burger - A; me: bacon and cheese - B+.

The good: it's pretty tasty and they have some decent beers with which to wash your burger down. Fries are nice and crispy and the service is friendly.

The not quite so good: prefer my burger medium/well done because I just hate blood-soaked slices of bread. Just a personal thing. They didn't bring it that way, was still too bloody. Also, the burger is too
high and not wide enough. With all the salad in the bun plus the burger (mine toppled over as soon as it arrived), it's too tall to eat comfortably and without stuff falling out all over the shop.

Will come again to try the char sui burger and the other random burger that's the speciality of the house but which I cannot recall.

I was actually quite apologetic to my friend, after we have decided to come to Relish for dinner, as her religion was having some festival in the past week, so she had to take on a temporary vegetarian diet. =( But fear not, we did our research before embarking on our feasting session!! And boy, we can finally say this: We Have Visited Relish!!!

To begin the visit, we did not make a reservation, but thankfully there were still tables available, but as a result, we could not choose the seats we wanted, as they were reserved. And for a Saturday evening, it was actually not completely filled, but there were groups which sat around for while, eating and drinking and laughing their hearts out.

I must say that, this place is really popular with the Caucasians in town! More tables were filled with Caucasians than locals. Perhaps it could be that the Burger-Fries-Beer culture had yet to catch on with the people in Singapore??

Anyway, my friend had a Grilled Portabello Mushroom and Tofu Burger, which was quite a sight when it arrived at our table. Well, it was technically not a burger, but rather all the fillings were well-covered by 2 big pieces of portabello mushroom and there were, really, tofu accompanying the burger!! There was even green leafy vegetables, thus even though I didn’t try the burger, it reminded me much of a Chinese meal served in a burger form!! Interesting!!

On the other hand, I decided to give all the meaty burgers a miss and went for the Seafood Burger with Lemon Mayo. And boy, I was looking forward to the mayo actually!! I mean, how often do you get well-done mayo, and nicely mixed with lemon??

Anyway, the patty was completely filled with crab, fish, prawn and squid portions!! And one can distinctly taste each ingredient of the patty!! Yummy!! And although I’m never a fan of greens, but coz it was nice topped with lemon mayo, I finished it all up!! =)

And as others have mentioned, it was quite a challenge eating the burger. I just stared at it for while, wondering how I should proceed and in the end, I went ahead with the fork & knife, though it got a little messy on the plate, but this aspect actually added quite a bit of fun into the eating session. =)

We changed one set of French Fries into Onion Rings for $3. And how did we know about this? My friend read it all up from HGW. And the onion rings were really great!! One can see slices of onions within the rings and it tasted awfully authentic!! =) Definitely worth the change!!

As for desserts, we decided to go ahead with the Dark Lava Gateau with Flambe Banana and well, we were a little disappointed. The word ‘lava’ brought to my mind of chocolate fudge spilling out from the centre of the cake, but it was not the case. But perhaps it may be so, as the chef may want to minimize a loss of chocolate fudge?? It’s just me but I was actually expecting a bigger portion as well. Anyway, the desserts were a little on the high side, so personally I may just give the desserts a skip on my possible future visits.

Although the place reminded me a little of Ueber Burger, it stood out in terms of its interiors and its menu of gourmet beer. Ueber Burger had slightly dimmer interiors, while Relish has much more white, which appealed a lot to me. =) Service was great, though minimally staffed but adequate for the location size as well. So kudos to that!!

In general, it was a pretty good experience but I may not return to it frequently. Well, having burgers for every meal, can be quite a bore after a while, despite a really interesting variety. But it will definitely be worth visiting again for the meaty burgers, so till then!! =)

Finally made our way down to Relish for a leisurely weekend lunch after procrastinating for weeks owing to conflicting schedules and hangovers from Friday night excesses.

Food: Seafood burger hands down the best at our table. Chock full of prawns, fish and squid in a battered patty, it was great. Bacon and cheese was OK, nothing spectacular. BBQ char siew was OK, but bit sweet. Bagel was deemed too dense.

Service: Prompt and polite, decent enough.

Ambience: Love it. High ceilings, whitewashed walls, amusing cheery murals and a general airy feeling. Perfect for weekend brunch / lunch.

Overall the food is decent but I do think it's a tad overpriced. No doubt some of the burgers are quite unique but we really don't see the justification in paying in the ballpark of 20 for one. I really like the place though, and might go more often if the menu was expanded a little more.

to be honest, i expected more from this place. all the hype from the wild rocket community certainly made my expectations a little too high.

its really expensive for bugers. 20 bucks isn't very worth it, considering the burgers aren't that great. they're ok, nice and juicy but just a pain to eat. its so high that you can't eat it with your hands and put it in your mouth. its to inconvenient.

Ok so I've only visited on weekends, I only order the same thing, and all my recent meals there have been over the last couple of weeks (yes, the Burger-Force is strong in this one) so maybe the kitchen is finally turning out consistent fare? I have yet to be disappointed by the fail-safe combination of omelette wrapped chili-mayo goodness in a bun, accompanied by piping-hot fries. Haven't tried the desserts yet, but I heartily recommend the Really Happy Meal to keep things jolly.
