Having heard of the name Shake'em Buns for so many times, I finally got my chance to dine there! We arrived the J Residence but had no idea where the restaurant was, so we walked round the building and checked things out at the same time. During the circling, we located several decent restaurants in the building that we have heard of but not knowing where they are. Seems I would be dinning here a lot in the coming weeks.Shake'em Buns' decor was way nicer than I thought it would be. My boyfriend
Having heard of the name Shake'em Buns for so many times, I finally got my chance to dine there! We arrived the J Residence but had no idea where the restaurant was, so we walked round the building and checked things out at the same time. During the circling, we located several decent restaurants in the building that we have heard of but not knowing where they are. Seems I would be dinning here a lot in the coming weeks.
Shake'em Buns' decor was way nicer than I thought it would be. My boyfriend always refer it as reasonable fast food restaurant, so I was expecting something like freshness burger or similar. Yet Shake'em Buns was more like an American pub restaurant. Spacious settings, colourful posters, photo frames, metal plate slogans, wooden table and chairs and a nice wide open kitchen...were all over my expectation.
Service was rather nice. I didn't have my glasses on that day, so I couldn't read the combo poster on the high wall. The staff noticed that and reposted the combo poster right behind the order point for my easy reading. They were such considerate ones.
1) Red on the Neck Combo with Fries and milkshake $98
I had this combo, priced at $98 using a $100 worth coupon but only paid for $50. Red on the Neck was Carolina Classic Burger with homemade chilli and coleslaw. I ordered this burger 'coz I thought the chilli here meant spicy chilli, but it actually meant meat paste like bolognese. The burger bun was extremely crispy at the outside, but still keeping the softness within. The beef patty was cooked medium, although not particularly juicy, was still very tender and soft. The patty was made pretty loosely which seemed like it would fall apart any second, but could still hold firmly at place. Within the burger, there were also mexican beans and caramelised onion which made the burger delicious.
The fries was crispy, not particularly special but definitely better than those franchised fast food restaurants. The regular fries was more a fat fries. I had my fries goes with ketchup+mayo and ketchup+mustard. Both tasted very nice with the fries.
I forgot the exact name of my Chocolate milkshakes, it was a shake with chocolate and peanut butter. The shakes was icy and tasted really nice at first, it had a strong taste of peanut and chocolate in it. However, when it came to the middle of the drink, I suddenly came to realise it was a bit too sweet and filling.
2) South of the Border with Fries and Coconut Shakes $98
My boyfriend ordered the South of the Border, I had thought about having that too, but stopped when I saw there is guacamole in it. The burger came with sour cream and salsa, combining with the guacamole, the sauce was quite overly much. The bun was soft and nearly mashy since the sauce made it soft. I wondered why didnt they toast the bun just like mine before sandwiching the ingredients, or is South of the Border doesn't used to go with toasted bun? Despite the bun, which was a bit disappointing, the burger was literally delicious. The salsa was spicy but the spiciness was brought down and also spiced up by the sour cream and the guacamole. The saucing deeply penetrated the burger patty and making it extra juicy, giving its natural tenderness, the patty was something to enjoy! You will find yourself could not resist in biting the burger one after another.
The Coconut Milkshakes was another nice drink to enjoy. The first few sip you will find a strong taste of vanilla in it, then you will find a tint of coconut flavour lingering along your throat. What's amazing about the drink was that there were literally coconut bits in it! The coconut fruit was chewy but soft. One slight criticism was the portion of vanilla taste might be a bit too strong which overtook the taste of coconut in general.
Feeling very contented after the delighted burgers, I will definitely come back for another try out of their other burgers, given their attractive price and decent food.
