Hey Steemit!

We were around Tampines the other day and went to check out the food places there to get some dinner at the (relatively) new Tampines Hub!

There's so much stuff at Tampines Hub! In the plaza there's a big screen where they normally show movies for free (but nowadays they've been showing music videos for some reason.? ). There are also sports facilities like a swimming pool, a football field, bowling alley, yoga studio, etc. and plenty of restaurants and food stalls. It's also very family-friendly; there's always at least 2 bounce houses in the plaza, and there's a kids playground, as well as many enrichment centres (Asian parents amirite). #notsponsored

We've been here quite a few times before but have only ever eaten at the food court since the food there is the cheapest; they even have dishes for $2.80! (I think it's part of a government initiative) Anyway, since we weren't rushing for time we decided to try one of the many food stalls in the basement!

Last time we saw a stall called tbc and didn't know what they sold, until we finally figured out that they made burgers and sandwiches, and they're actually called Toko Burgers and Cheesesteaks!
It's actually quite confusing since we typically know tbc to mean To Be Continued or To Be Confirmed, or smt like that.

I think tbc is a fairly new chain, I've never seen it around Singapore before, and I found out they currently only have 2 outlets; 1 at Joo Chiat and this one in Tampines.

Turns out their burgers are actually pretty affordable! Their signature burger, Toko Burger, is only $6.90, which is the same as Wolf Burgers which I posted about previously. The Toko Burger is made of two hand-mixed and pressed beef patties, topped with their homemade special sauce (with 7 herbs and spices!), on a bed of fresh lettuce.

So we decided to order the Toko burger and a cheesesteak called the Milano, which has grilled ribeye, caramelised onions and melted mozzarella on a soft bun layered with homemade marinara.

We were so hungry and excited to dig in when our food finally arrived!

The burger was soo yummy! The beef was grilled just right, so the edges of the beef patty were a little crispy but the inside was still juicy. The sauce was AMAZING, and blended well with the cheese and beef. Truly awesomesauce indeed. Some of the lettuce fell out of the burger, and I think some people might find the burger a little too wet because of the sauce (it became quite messy eating with my hands) but it was still delicious!

The cheesesteak was also really yummy! We had a choice of chicken or beef and we chose chicken since we just had a beef burger. I didn't realise mozzarella and marinara was such a great combo, but I guess thats why everyone loves pizza right. It really did taste like pizza in sandwich form, just with chicken. There were onions in this which I'm not really a fan of though, but it's still yummy.

We also bought cheese fries which were pretty normal, typical cheese fries, just like the kind you'd find in KFC.

After that deliciousness we were stuffed! I'd say the burger was probably the best thing we've ordered and I would definitely go back again. Maybe we'll try beef in the cheesesteak next time!

Thanks for reading!
