No combo is more classic than burger and fries, but Shake Shack Singapore is now spicing things up with the Sambal Mayo series. It’s Shake Shack’s first-ever Singapore-inspired burger, taking its inspiration from local fare like nasi lemak and sambal chicken. This is a special launch that’s been created just for Shake Shack, backed by the culinary expertise of Batu Lesung Spice Company and local Chef Jeremy Nguee.
The lineup includes a burger ($12.50), chicken sandwich ($12.50), and fries ($7.90) – all slathered with a tasty sambal mayo. The burger comes with an Angus beef patty and ingredients that we’re used to seeing on a plate of nasi lemak. But does it taste like nasi lemak? Somewhat, with a crunch of fresh cucumber slices and a fried egg.
For us though, the chicken sandwich reigns supreme with its crispy chicken – juicy, since they only use the thigh or drumstick. There appears to be a more generous layer of sambal mayo on this, and it’s pretty darn good with a bite of seasoned cabbage slaw and crunchy cucumber. In any case, whichever you order, make sure to get the crinkle cut fries too. Once again, expect a heavy-handed dollop of sambal mayo and scattered bacon bits and scallions.
Head down to one of the eight Shake Shacks around Singapore – this sambal mayo range is available till August 15.
