Ashes Burnnit Review: Ex-Founder Of Burgs Opens New Hawker Stall Selling Burgers & Ice-Cream Croissants

Smashed burgers and froissants at Ashes Burnnit You used to have to pay a hefty rate tag for some good ol’ burgers in the past.

Ashes Burnnit Review: Ex-Founder Of Burgs Opens New Hawker Stall Selling Burgers & Ice-Cream Croissants

That was before young hawkerpreneurs changed the game by opening up hawker stalls selling satisfying burgers at wallet-friendly quotations. One such stall is Ashes Burnnit at Golden Mile Food Centre . Regulars of this hawker centre will be quick to realise that this burger joint took over the space of Burgs by Project Warung’s OG stall.

While Burgs has since moved on to open at Timbre+ and Viva Business Park at Chia Chee, one of co-founder—Syafiq—decided not to join the move. Stayed at Golden Mile Food Centre to open his own burger venture, aka Ashes Burnnit, with his friends. Quirky is Ashes Burnnit’s vibe, from their store’s name to the idea of bringing the famous US smashed burger-style to our sunny island. Food at Ashes Burnnit Ashes Burnnit has got your entire meal covered, from mains, including burgers and mac and cheese, to desserts.

Being the creep I am, I peeped at what people at the front of the line were ordering and went along with the popular Ashes Smash Cheese Burger . You can either go for a single ($5.90) or double patty ( $8.40 ), and I obviously went big with the latter.

Don’t worry about stretching out your jaw while chomping on this cheeseburger, as the double patty has the same thickness as a regular burger. Each bite was bursting with flavours as there was a good mix of fats and lean meat in the well-seasoned patty.

Cheese lovers can satisfy their dairy addiction with some Classic Mac & Cheese ($5) . Ashes Burnnit tosses in more cheese just before serving and torches them to give a golden-brown crust. The dish is topped with sprinkles of breadcrumbs and a fresh mix salad.

Despite being packed with all that cheese, the creamy dish was surprisingly light. Despite the variety of cheese, the depth of flavours was limited to buttery and creamy notes.

In line with their trendsetting ways, Ashes Burnnit has in addition rolled out Froissants ($4) . The croissant was light and flaky, but its butteriness was lost in the sea of sweetness from the icing and strawberry ice-cream.

Turns out, the ice-cream is mixed with cream, keeping the froissant from softening, especially with the heat Singapore is notoriously known for. Ambience at Ashes Burnnit You won’t miss Ashes Burnnit at Golden Mile Food Centre, as this burger stall stands out with their booming pop music playlist. The verdict Ashes Burnnit jazzes up classic cheeseburgers with smashed burger patties, providing a refreshing change to the local burgers scene.

The Mac & Cheese was average tasting, but Ashes Burnnit Smashed Cheeseburger saved the day with its jam-packed flavours.
