It’s officially my 3rd week of this little tradition I call #BurgerSaturday, where I treat myself to a burger meal every Saturday and then sit down to blog about it. Burgers are one of my favourite Western comfort foods, so this weekly ritual feels like a tiny celebration at the end of the week.
To be honest, when it comes to fast-food style burgers, I’m usually very biased. McDonald’s cheeseburger has always been my default order. I know it’s not the best or the healthiest burger out there, but there’s a strong nostalgia attached to that familiar taste. It’s the kind of flavour that reminds me of quick meals, late nights, and simple cravings.
But today I decided to break away from habit and try something new. MOS Burger popped into my mind, and I realised I had never actually tried their burgers before. So I headed there and walked into a bright, wood-toned space with a clean, cozy vibe. The signboard was glowing, there were Christmas promos at the entrance, and the seating felt comfortable enough for a slow, lazy Saturday meal.
For my first MOS experience, I went for the MOS Cheeseburger set, burger, fries, and a Minute Maid orange drink. The meal arrived on a tray with the burger neatly wrapped, fries in a paper pouch, sauces on the side, and a tall cup of drink waiting to be sipped. Simple, but it looked promising.
Let’s talk about the fries first because they really surprised me. These are thick-cut fries, freshly cooked, crispy on the outside and soft, moist on the inside. That contrast of textures is exactly what I love in fries. I honestly find them better than McDonald’s fries, sorry McD, but MOS wins this round LOL. I could happily just munch on those fries while scrolling my phone and already feel satisfied.
Then came the star of the show, the MOS Cheeseburger.
Their version comes with a thick slice of tomato, a substantial beef patty, cheese, and… fresh onions. Here’s the thing, I’m not a fan of raw onions. I prefer caramelised onions that turn sweet and soft. If I had known beforehand, I would’ve asked them to remove the fresh onions. But since everything was already assembled nicely, I just decided to eat it as it is.
The saving grace (and actually the highlight) was their special burger sauce.
It reminded me a bit of chili con carne, savoury, slightly tangy, a little meaty in flavour. At first bite it felt unusual, but the more I ate, the more I enjoyed it. Together with the juicy tomato, melted cheese, and that thick patty, the burger felt hearty and substantial, like a “real” burger compared to my usual McDonald’s cheeseburger.
The orange drink helped cut through the heaviness of the meal, adding a refreshing citrus lift between bites. By the time I finished, I was full, satisfied, and pretty happy that I stepped out of my McDonald’s comfort zone. Overall, everything worked well for me, except the fresh onions, which will definitely be removed on my next visit.
So that’s #BurgerSaturday Week 3 in the bag. MOS Burger has officially earned a spot on my burger map, and I’m already curious where Week 4 will take me. If you have any burger recommendations, send them my way, this Saturday tradition is just getting started. 🍔✨
