The new FAT is here - Iconic hollywood burger stand Fatburger launches not one but two outlets in Singapore!
September is the time to usher in the new FAT – Fresh, Authentic, Tasty! Founded by Lovie Yancey in 1952, Fatburger is known around the world for its thick and juicy hamburgers. Available in 200 locations across 25 countries, these massive offerings have earned a cult following that includes many hollywood celebrities!

Each burger at Fatburger is cooked to order, a mouth-watering tower of beef patties and other fresh ingredients.

Hankering for chicken? Buffalo’s Express doles out a variety of bone-in or boneless wings, chicken tenders, as well as sandwiches and salads. Kick up the indulgence several notches by dipping the chicken offerings in one of the signature sauces — sweet, spicy or the tongue-numbing, sweat-inducing death valley.
