i have never eaten a tofu burger before. thus i went to find out what makes a tofu burger, well... a tofu burger.
...
coz i went to read someone's food review on tofu burger @ a f&b outlet in ION. and it perked my interest... a little.
SO! according to this webby..
This tofu burger contains chicken and tofu. Serve it with grated daikon radishes and sweet sauce.
in this case, its a japanese tofu burger im researching on. and it fits with the description of this particular food reviewer.
Patty wise, it was not mainly filled with tofu, but rather to say, more of chicken. I could feel the chicken taste more than the tofu itself and it wasn’t that tasty at all.
you know whats the irony?
Ingredients:
now i know my pounds and kilos and fractions. and that in the receipe, tofu is 1/4 pounds more than chicken. but say you're working at a restaurant, which has just fking opened, and is on the verge of being overwhelmed by the customers (if they havent already)... i very much doubt that i, as the chef, have enough patience to put the tofu on a piece of paper towel, put something heavy on top to squeeze out ALL the water so it becomes half as thick before, and then mash it up with other ingredients, chicken included.

you think in the kitchen got 50 chefs issit? all solely hired to make you the PERFECT TOFU BURGER OMFGASDFKNESSTHEPERFECTION.
ahem. i dont work in the f&b area. and i dont think i intend to anyway.
but!
at least i know when faced under pressure by bored waiters/waitresses who get pekcek by typical singaporeans and their "eh i ordered this. can you check for me why it hasnt arrived?"x10 and the constant "dingding IS THIS ORDER READY YET?"x20, as chef/cook/assistant, you wont wanna make the perfect burger and just go for LOOKS LIKE ONE TASTES LIKE ONE IS THE ONE SO FUCKING IT EAT UP AND GET LOST AND QUIT DINGING ON THE BELL IM GETTING A HEADACHE.
darou?
that is, if there is that sickening bell that is fun the 1sec you ding-ed it but subsequently irritating.
and guess what! typical tofu burgers dont come with additional buns to make the burger in tofu BURGER. HEY WE'RE TALKING ABOUT SINGAPOREANS THAT WILL COMPLAIN IF THE SERVING PORTION IS NOT FILLING ENOUGH OR THE PORTIONS ARE TOO BIG AND A CHEAT OF MONEY YADAYADA. but surprise! this stall is at least thoughtful enough to include the man tou used in kou rou bao. and yes, its called MAN TOU YOU FAILURE OF A FOOD REVIEWER. yes buns. but if you're a fking singaporean food reviewer with less than 1000 hits, dont act like an experienced ang moh and type The bread used for the burger was the type of bun used for ‘kou rou bao (扣肉宝). and for goodness sake, if you use the apostrophe, please remember to close it. geez. bah whatever, i like being bitchy towards this person. :D so sue me.
so anyway, knowing that singaporeans will never be satisfied with anything, the shop infuses some uniquely chinesesingapore-ness and throws in man tous so that you wont have to worry about getting those beautifully manicured nails and dainty fingers soiled by the sauce that oozes out when you take a bite of the burger+patty.
not convinced with my theory? then answer this. if you see patty that has gravy vs patty with protective layers on the top and bottom. which one will entitle you to a much more 'mess-free' meal by comparison? we're talking about your fingers here.
MOVING ON.
Daikon was also inside, but it wasn’t sliced nicely. I could see strewns all over.
yeah im totally sure whoever that did the slicing will have a pair of vernier calipers or micrometer screw guage to MEASURE the sliced daikon. and, that they totally had 1 hr to prepare you damn burger before hand.
Nuggets were the worst lot of all. Somehow, I would prefer Mac’s nuggets, at least they were much crispier.
uh huh. im very sure R-Burger (name of the f&b stall) will follow Mac's nuggets. but hey, since im a fan of nuggets, i'll probably say the same thing. soggy nuggets? bleah. ate too many of them whenever ngee ann had catering.
but comparing them to macs now... heeeeh? someone's being overly demanding i see. if you want nuggets, go macs then. then again, i dont think macs has the best nuggets. they only taste that good coz of the oil that fries 'em. hey, anything tastes good with weeks old oil ok. imagine all the essence/juice from the previous foods that have been dunked into the deep fryer. hmmmmmm...
Am seriously disappointed. Was really looking forward to the tofu burger, as I really like tofu alot.
someone needs a tofu voucher from ntuc. or next time, she can visit my future tofu burger stall! which will be 100% tofu! and NO man tous. :DDDD
