The rustic quaintness of Corner Grill attracts me to here. I was expecting some nice grilled food here, but the Cod Fish Burger here blows me away with how amazingly good it is. Best burger I ever have? A definite Yes. It is not just any burger, it is an artisanal burger curated to develop layers of flavours and highlight the goodness of grilled meat.
I also love the cosy, rustic feel of the place with its red brick walls, gable roof, lamps with sophisticated, intricate patterns, and classic bow windows overlooking out onto the heritage area of Ann Siang Road from the second floor. This is like a humble little abode in Europe.
The service staff is very friendly and helpful, making this dining experience even better.
The mild creaminess of cod fish juxtaposes so well with the light char from the grilling in the Grilled Cod Fish Burger. The lemony herb mayo and roma tomatoes add the zest and richness to the meat to highlight its milky sweetness. The meat is firm, moist and flaky, going so well in texture with the fluffy parmesan bun and the crunchy fresh lettuce.
Char-grilled Octopus Salad is a very hearty dish made up of briny sweet, tender octopus, crunchy, crisp Radicchio vegetable, citrus vinaigrette, brazil nuts, shallot, garlic and orange. I love this too as it explores the full spectrum of flavours that complement one another so well.
Profiteroles is a pretty down-to-earth dessert, nice but not exactly memorable. Though I like it that the dark chocolate sauce is used instead of the usual milk chocolate type. The bitterness and intensity of dark chocolate gives it an extra edge.
Harmony Twist is a simple cocktail of volka, limoncello, syrup and freshly lemon juice, but the taste is so refreshingly good.
I never expected to be totally wowed over by a burger (I’m not into burgers actually), but Corner Grill did the unexpected and elevated burgers to be wholesome, fine mains.
This is definitely the place I will go to for burgers, or recommend for some burger good times.
