We’re sure loads of you remember ‘The Great Nasi Lemak Burger War of July 2016′ between Singapore and Malaysia. People were going absolutely nuts over the sudden influx of nasi lemak-inspired burgers popping up in the two countries, who were both trying their best to outdo each other every step of the way. I mean, it’s no secret we both take our nasi lemak very seriously!
Thankfully, things have calmed down since then, but it seems like we’ve moved on to yet another Malaysian-Western hybrid!
Just last week, FungryTV announced their ambitious collaboration with Grub on their Facebook page – a ‘char kuey teow‘ burger.

The burger’s patty itself is a delicious omelette stuffed with classic ‘char kuey teow‘ ingredients such as prawns, cockles, spring onions, taugeh (bean sprouts), and duck egg yolk, sandwiched between two toasted buns. Chefs Razif Hashim and Ahong tried their best to encapsulate the signature ‘wok hei‘ (charred) taste of traditional ‘char kuey teow‘ in this burger.
