Indonesian-spiced chicken burger & plant-based burger sets from $7.90 by TP culinary students

Fancy some Indonesian-spiced chicken burger or plant-based burger sets? Well, a class of final-year students from the Diploma of Culinary and Catering Management at Temasek Polytechnic are offering these 2 burger sets as part of their final year project.

Calling themselves Bun Stop, the students oversee the entire operation, encompassing the culinary preparation of the burgers and the financial calculations integral to the management of the cloud kitchen business.

If you’re worried about being the guinea pigs of a Polytechnic class’s project, it’s assuring to know that certain individuals from their Research and Development have been well-trained during their internships.

Where exactly? Well, establishments like VUE, Restaurant Born and Whitegrass restaurant— impressive!

The Boom Boom Burger is a chicken burger packed with a multitude of flavours. Stuffed between the sesame buns, the chicken thigh is marinated with a house-made bumbu paste which is quintessentially an earthy Indonesian spice mix containing an assortment of spices like cumin and fennel.

A mild sambal mayo is then added on top before an additional dollop of bumbu paste is added for an extra kick. It is then crowned with sliced cabbage and pickled red onions to inject some tanginess to counterbalance its overall richness.

As part of efforts to promote sustainability and healthier eating, Bun Stop has also created the Tushroom Burger.

The sesame buns are filled with a pattie crafted from non-meat ingredients such as tau kwa, mushroom and rolled oats. Black pepper sauce is then slathered on top and vegetables like tomatoes, caramelised onions and pickled cucumber are inserted in-between for a variety of tastes and textures.

The Boom Boom Burger (S$8.90) and Tushroom Burger (S$7.90) are available as part of a set (no à la carte allowed) which includes corn ribs and a can of 7-up.

The corn ribs are dusted with a generous layer of homemade spice rub, reminiscent of the Taiwanese XXL Fried Chicken that are sold on the streets. A calamansi is given to add a touch of brightness to the fresh maize.

Orders commence on 3 Jan 2024 at 12pm and conclude on 14 Jan 2024 at 12 pm. Interested customers can visit their Instagram page to access the order link.

Payment by PayNow/PayLah only, no cash transactions accepted upon collection.

Do note that the collection date is from 17-19 Jan 2024 at Temasek Polytechnic’s campus in front of the main library. We extend our best wishes to the TP culinary students as they embark on their final year project!
