Skirt & Dirt

Skirt & Dirt rides on the crest of the gourmet burger trend in hawker centers. The stall’s specialty, however, is one-of-a-kind: it sells Cheese Skirt Burger a juicy beef patty topped with a crispy cheddar cheese skirt. Apart from the burger, fill up on their Cheese Dirt Fries, which are covered with the same cheese skirt and topped with bacon, jalapenos, and relish.

Highlights:

• Filling fries
• Delicious cheese

Went on a Sunday evening when the hawker center was least crowded. The skirt burger tasted fresh and good, and so did the salad and fries. Everything seems good except the wings, it’s over-fried and too dry. – Pauline K
