SINGAPORE: Black Tap Craft Burgers & Beer

I have always told people that IF you were to go into F&B or actually any business, your target audience should be the females. Because only females have the power to summon BOTH other females to part with their money AS WELL AS their male companions. That's like 100% of the human population !

I had this conversation with an ex male classmate few days ago. We were both at a cafe which *in my honest opinion* sells expensive coffee

Me: Ya it's expensive huh the coffee.
Male Friend: $6.70 for a coffee! It's going to be my first and last time here. My $1 hawker centre coffee is better.

Compare it with my female friend whom I had the same conversation with yesterday

Female Friend: ya $6.70 is expensive la but the milk is so nice! I have drank couple of times already

After being in Australia for so many years, I've integrated into their coffee and burger culture. I get burger cravings maybe once a month? My cousin is the person I get most of my foodspiration from. It's like.. he goes everywhere to eat. To be honest I have no idea how he can sustain such a lifestyle because I definitely can't with my meagre doctor salary lol. But hey, to each his own perhaps he has some investments that are lucrative.
So Nick and I found ourselves at Black Tap over the weekend. Hailing from NYC, Black Tap I heard serves one of the best burgers. We came  to satisfy our burger cravings, but secretly I also came for their crazy shakes.

I've never had much faith in crazy shakes, especially not after my bad virgin experience was with 50SIXONE in Adelaide ( read here). It was nothing but daylight robbery except they didn't rob a bank, they robbed me. It was expensive and it tasted bad. It was SO SWEET. Artificially sweet to make it worse.

But I am an instagram whore, and aesthetically pleasing ( tho may be non practical and inedible ) things sell.

We finally managed to get in after 30mins of queueing. After being in Singapore for the last few months, I've come to a conclusion: People in Singapore are either well to do or they don't mind spending on food.
It's like every relatively expensive place I go to, there's a queue. I attempted to make a booking for the 4 day pop up sugalabo event which cost $1450++ per person for an 8 course meal and it was all booked out. So yeah....

Nick iniitally wanted a peanut butter crazy shake, but at a price of $22 we can only afford 1. I'm allergic to peanut butter so...... I chose the girly strawberry shake :D

It was.. surprisingly good. haha. 

We shared a spicy korean bbq wings - it wasn't spicy at all which is good $13

The white sauce was SO GOOD. It tasted good with fries too!

I had the Texan Burger $25

They usually cook their patties medium, but I chose to have it medium rare because I feel that beef should be eaten medium rare for the best taste. 

Nick had the Chilli Cheese $24 with onion rings

I really enjoyed the burger ! It was such a huge serving I couldn't even finish the fries.
Overall I really enjoyed myself, tho I wish the queue wasn't so long !!!

Happy me with the not so bad tasting crazy shake :D
