After hearing so much about Shake Shack from the locals in New York, the chefs and a bunch of us decided to make our way to the popular burger joint in our bid to celebrate the work completed so far. Our plan was to allow the chefs to head back to the hotel for a quick shower after the Lucky Rice Talk + Taste while ST and I make our way there to queue. Upon arrival, ST and I almost passed out as we witnessed one of Singapore’s favourite past time…queuing.
The 80 meters or more queue really did give the chefs ample time to go back, shower and meet us and they arrived 45mins later only to find us smack in the middle. A good half hour later, we found ourselves face to face with the service staff and by that time, we knew exactly what we wanted. We took our seats minutes later and waited for another 15 mins or so before picking up our order at a separate counter.

Now one would think that the food served at the Shake Shack must be earth shattering given the long wait time. Unfortunately, we weren’t too impressed with both presentation and taste. Chefs and their experienced palates aside, we all had our fair share of junk food but this one doesn’t seem to cut it with the exception of some such as the Concrete Jungle shake.

However, as a complete food experience, it wasn’t that bad actually. The company was good, the weather was just right and we were fortunate enough to find enough seats without much hassle. After hearing so much about the burger joint, we knew we had to be fair to ourselves and give it at least a go. As a person who believes that taste is a mater of opinion, I suggest you too should give it a try and who knows, you may like them..
