Black Tap Singapore Review: Prime Beef Burgers And Crazy Shakes At Marina Bay Sands

After months of eager anticipation and stalking their IG page , the famous New York cheeseburger finally arrived at Marina Bay Sands (MBS) and I wasn’t going to lose out on being one of the first few to check them out! Prime Beef Burgers And Crazy Shakes From New York’s Famous Burger Joint Food at Black Tap Nearly everyone at the restaurant was enjoying The Texan Burger ($25++) , so we decided to jump on the bandwagon and ordered one too.

And a good decision that was, as it was one of the best burgers I’ve ever had. Not for the faint-hearted or small eaters, the burger features a massive patty made from prime ground beef that’s stacked with strips of crispy bacon, a huge onion ring, and aged cheddar. Juice from the burger drizzled down our hands as we conquered the burger.

Not the best indication on how delicious it was, but if you are a fan of Burger King’s Bacon Cheeseburger, Black Tap’s version is meant for the gods. At first glance, The All-American Burger ($22++) did not stand out from any other beef burger.

While the vegetables, cheese, and buns complemented the patty, the tastes of all the accompanying elements paled when eaten with the heavy-tasting patty. If you are a fan of beef, this burger basically tastes like a juicier and softer version of good ol’ steak.

Before the burger was placed in front of us, I smelt pungent blue cheese wafting from The Greg Norman ($26++) . Those who enjoy the cheese will not be disappointed by the generous amount of it found in the burger. While the pungent smell and strong taste of blue cheese was initially overwhelming, the taste of the beef patty still managed to surface after a few bites.

Good as it was, I’d recommend sharing this with another blue cheese lover as the unique combination of heavy flavours became cloying after a few bites. With an entire milkshake bar sitting at the entrance of the restaurant, we watched as the bartenders prepared our drinks and were wowed by the seemingly endless ingredients thrown into the glass.

Unlike many Freakshakes that overwhelm you with sweetness at the first sip, this was balanced with hints of saltiness from the peanut butter, making it addictive. The shake that left us pleasantly surprised was the Cotton Candy ($22++) . While a Cotton Candy shake sounds synonymous to diabetes, the strawberry milkshake was not as sweet as we had anticipated.

Even so, the toppings of whipped cream, cotton candy, and sugary treats decorating it are bound to give you a sugar rush, so we recommend sharing this. The verdict Having been teased by all the glorious photos from their IG page for months, I undoubtedly had high expectations for the burgers from Black Tap.

Black Tap’s burger takes the lead for me with their juicy patties and huge portions.
