Innovation has become an important feature among our top pick burger stalls. These burger stalls are experimenting with condiments and sauces by introducing new tastes to enhance the taste palette.
A surprising new ingredient is pineapple. This condiment has been a popular urban legend among binge buddies for years and ubiquitous with the Selayang Stadium Burger that was mentioned in The Star's SMS sender's pick for the best burger years ago. The Selayang burger is probably the only burger stall we have come across that has sprung from a make-shift stall to a full-blown restaurant that serves cooked food and drinks to patrons.
Overall the burger was acceptable but we felt the use of cabbage and chili masks the taste of the pineapple. We have personally considered this as one of the holy grails of condiments for burger stalls. Irrespective of the number of burger stalls that have added pineapple to their ingredients, they do not complement the burger. The nature of the ingredient is also difficult and consistency can be a problem for those that try to use this ingredient in their burgers.
The only satisfying pineapple burger has been the Teriyaki burger at Carl’s Jr. That said it is a worthwhile experience but we recommend binge buddies to be ordered correctly. We recommend chicken patties instead of beef patties as we found that it complemented the use of pineapple better. A further word of caution for the discerning binge buddy, we felt that the egg and cheese extras did not go very well with the burger but it’s a matter of personal preference. This is one of those where less is more.
