What makes KGB’s burgers such a killer is the powerful and punchy flavours in each creation. Patties here are juicy and well-seasoned, and paired with an interesting assortment of ingredients. Two methods of cooking the patties are available here: 1) crust seared, which gives an extra flavourful crunchy crust while still retaining juiciness, and 2) the normal grilled patties. Some of the best-sellers here would be the Bash, Bella Bomb Tower, Truffle’d Swiss Mushroom, and Tornado. What are burgers without fries and milkshakes? KGB does well in both aspects. For the daring tastebuds, we would recommend the Bulgogi Fries, an out-of-the-world invention.
