STOP PRESS! Wham!burger is BACK!
With mien, iwatch_ueat and introducing our latest makanbro, Liverpool1965!
After a 2 year hiatus, the burger which had attracted a cult following is back! Our dear Wendy who had left the Jiang Hu (Pugulistic World) to pursue her other passion has recently (yesterday) resurrected her Wham!burger, much to the joy of her fans, I'm sure.
Sweaty Burger Aunty by day, Sultry Bar Top Singer by night, Wendy leads a fascinating double life. She shut her Wham!Burger joint which used to be at Turf Club 2 years ago to pursue her singing at the Acidbar (Peranakan Place). Think sexy lady with a low cut dress sliding across a Grand Piano (ala Michelle Pfieffer) and she'll give you a slap on the face! No, no, No Wham Bam Thank you M'am for this Prim and Proper lady Please!
Anyway I digress. Let's get down to the burgers.
There is no doubt that the patties on her burgers are one of the best in Singapore. We all loved her chicken fillet burger which is a whole chicken thigh fillet marinated in a mild Satay marinade. The meat was awesome. It was juicy and the flavours of the lemongrass, cumin and tumeric really reminded me of why we all love Satay so much! The only letdown was the quality of the bun, which was bit cold and flaky 4/5 (Wendy is working on the buns, her burger would easily rate a 4.5 with a change in the bun)
This is the one everyone talks about! I have not tasted a pattie as good as this for a pretty long time. Perfectly season and really juicy. You don't really need anything else on this burger though she does offer saute onions, fried egg and cheese. $4.80 (w/0 extras) 4/5 (The bun... again, but easily fixed)
Conclusion
A very very warm welcome back Wham!Burger!

It says a lot when you don't need any toppings (cheese, onions, mustard, chilli sauce, ketchup.....) to accompany the burgers...I like them just as they are now...and as you have said they should grill the buns...
maybe you can sweet-talk her into coming up with a double-wham burger? ;-)
Already in the works!! It is going to be called the Double Whammy!
thanks for this! I can try this for lunch! :)
Nest time in that area will head there for that Wendy & Wampy.
wah.... serious? double whammy? the pattie is already so thick and juicy to begin with!! imagine cheese in between the patties.. yes must do something with the buns... and it will be 4.8 on my scoreboard lol..
still wondering how it will fare against the iEat burger!
can you ask her to go halal so that muslims can enjoy her burger too? cheers.
yea that will be great cos i have muslim friends to bring along too...
Both burgers were fantastic and beat your run-off-the-mill fast food outlets handsdown.
Only concern is the bread, which tends to get a little flaky and crumbly when you bite into them. However, Wendy's working on them right now.
Both the chicken (thigh meat i presume) and beef patties were succulent and juicy, which should be the hallmark of burgers.
Yay! Wham Burger is back! I tried it when it was at Turf City two years back and absolutely loved it. I'm now in Canada and the burgers sold here are nowhere as good as Wham burger! Looking forward to eating wham burger when I return to Singapore!
This is one good looking hamburger. You are inspiring me to travel.
ohh... so that's what happened to wham!burger. Had it long ago but wondered what happened. thanks for the info!
Thanks for the tipoff!It was a sad day when WHAM! closed at Turf City. Was looking forward to Saturday brunch there when we realised they don't open on Sat! For non-CBDers like us, weekends are the only days we get to go. OOOh do hope they review opening hours!
Tried the Wham beef burger. It is so YUMMY. Two thumbs up!
EXPENSIVE burger!!! And I cannot take the BAD customer svc. 1) No serviettes. 2) Rude cashier/ chef.
Ten THUMBS down! no serviettes,ask me whether want napkin, those for cleaning tables.wtf! ramly burgers served across the causeway is 10 times better than this stupid whamburger! 15pieces of fries cost $2.00=daylight robbery!!
The chicken wham!burger is special but nothing about the beef. For the price & service, give me BK anytime, the best in beef patties!
Hmmm...Wham! burger's biz must really be good or else you won't be getting so many attempts from competitors to try and smear its reputation.
aimei - INDIGO, apparently you have not tried it. Please try it BEFORE you talk here. I have tried and paid $4.80 for this burger! Maybe you are the stallowner's friend in disguise!!
had the burger for lunch again.the patties are good...as some have said earlier...need a better bun! a bit soggy today..
Brave the rain to Wham Burger. I reached there just before 12pm so told Wendy to do 2 Beef Burgers with Portabello Mushroom and cheese (at $6.10 each). The beef pattie is juicy.However my friend David said he will like to have more mushroom next time. Must say the Mushroom damn solid!.
Tried the chicken burger.
Overall good. Can see the meat, not some minced meat pattie.
But for the price, location and the short opening hours, will pass
hi ieat,
went down for e past 2 days n returned very disappointed.. cos i still haven't get e chance to try e burgers yet! wendy had informed me tat her operating hours had changed to mondays to saturdays 11am to 3pm.. so u might wanna update it? thanks!
(will eat it on monday!)
mon-sat
11-3pm
people can now try e burger on sat liao! =)
whamburger burgers quality has dropped. Ate like ard 3 mths. Becoming more like microwave food. Have tried all 3. Beef, chick and fish. Previously was damn good. Juicy and tasty. Now its so horrible. Hope it doesn't become shamburger instead. I did ask is there any change, lady cashier say ppl taste diff bluntly. Thats crude...
hmmm was actually there today and the beef patty was even better than the last few times I had it!!! : ) nice and juicy!!..They have a better burger bun now too :). Wendy mentioned that she has been having staffing problems, maybe you caught them at the wrong time, she is currently getting more experienced people to man the place when she is not around
This Wham Burger was exactly what me and my honey was looking for since it was closed from Turf City. I'm so happy to see it here today as we were dreaming and talking abt it whenever we had burgers of any kind! I will surely go try it again and see if it still tastes as good as before. well, I remembered the service was very good and they asked us if we need serviettes, drinks etc maybe customers weren't so much like now. Let's see how it goes later when I go and try later...
Not really good. Over rated in this blog...thumbs down!!!
it closed down at china sq le.. able to locate it? i haven tried the mushroom yet...
They are taking a break for the moment.
