Hi everyone,
I've been living in Singapore for the last 14 months, and haven't found a restaurant that serves a good sized burger that you have to eat with both hands, like what you'll find back Stateside.
All the places where I've had burgers serve them with the small buns that you'd get in a grocery store. I'm not considering 5 guys, since I'm not a fan.
Appreciate any help I can get on this...thanks!

Biggest burgers I know are served at Fat Boys. Not to be confused with Fatburger. They have an outlet along Upper Thompson Road. They used to have one up in Holland too, but that closed down recently. I had to find out in person.
What's wrong with five guys? I love their hotdogs and fries, and always make it a point to have some when I'm back in Miami. It's ridiculously over priced in Singapore though. They don't have set meals, so a burger, fries, and a milkshake will set you back over $30 - ridiculous.

Fat boy's burgers are nice although since my wife isn't much of a burger fan, I haven't eaten there in a while. Sadly they have downsized to just a single outlet.

They actually have plenty of other options on the menu too, like a chicken fried steak even if I'm not mistaken. I go there because they have fantastic impossible burgers, I get mine with the truffle aïoli and it's incredible.

There used to be an amazing local burger joint called DeBurg, home of the Burgasm.
Took many people there, almost all who had lived in the US were converts. Sadly, the place kept moving around and shutdown. Great burgers they were…

Unfortunately, young kids have tied us to the main fast food chains. TBH, McDonalds fries still rule over everything else…

Can't argue with that. But honestly, the burger selection is pretty lame. Especially when compared to McDonald's around the world - each city seems to have its own menu, not just a few local favorites like SG.

Smokey's is great! A family favorite. Good barbecue is hard to come by around here, reminds me of our favorite Shorty's bar-b-q in Miami. The only thing different is the price.

Simple Burgers opened at the old Aerated water factory on Serangoon Rd. We tried it. It's ok. Not expensive either and a nice location.

Simple burger is awesome! I just had it for dinner this evening, ordered on Grab from JEM. I like to get the cheese dog with a strawberry milkshake. It's one of the only fast food restaurants that makes all the food to order from fresh ingredients, for an affordable price. I also like that they make their milkshakes the old-fashioned way, you hardly see this in Singapore. If you dine in, they even have an unlimited toppings bar with toppings like fresh veggies, coleslaw, and salsa.

Yes Mah Motorcycles is still there. You can visit them and have a burger after on a Saturday easily.
