The burger joint will open its first outlet at Plaza Singapura on Monday, with an extensive menu of cult favourites to indulge in
Burger aficionados only have to wait two more days before Five Guys Singapore officially opens its first outlet at Plaza Singapura on December 16. It’s guaranteed to be a grand affair (be prepared to queue), so the folks at Five Guys flew to Singapore to give us a sneak peek today, ahead of its first day of operations. Here’s what we enjoyed at our first Five Guys experience in Singapore.

1. Perfectly-cooked French fries
The potatoes used for the French fries are sourced from the Netherlands; in fact, there’s a board posted near the drinks refill station which displays where the day’s produce is from (when we visited, the potatoes were from Bouman, Poortviet).
After the potatoes are cleaned and hand-cut into thick strips, they undergo three stages of the cooking process to ensure they’re firm and not mushy after they’re deep-fried. The team also use peanut oil not only because it’s healthier, but it also enhances the aroma and taste of the fries. It comes in two flavours: Five Guys style and the signature Cajun style.
