Get 1-for-1 promo on Burger King’s plant-based Whopper burgers — only on GrabFood
Regardless your dietary preferences, there’s a trending ingredient that’s probably worth a try — plant-based meat.
The name often intrigues many people, especially those who wonder how “meat” made from plant sources can compare to meat from animals or cultivated from animal cells.
Yet the response in Singapore has been good and we’ve seen plant-based protein make it onto several restaurants’ menus in recent years.
The list of local adopters include a slew of artisanal burger joints and even Gordon Ramsay’s Bread Street Kitchen, as well as popular fast-food chain Burger King, which joined in with a plant-based twist on its signature Whopper burger in 2021.
The plant-based Whopper burger is also the first plant-based burger offered by Burger King Singapore.
Since it contains no beef, it is made to be suited for vegetarians and flexitarians, but will not be fit for vegan dietary restrictions, as the burger will contain mayonnaise.
The Burger King plant-based burger comes with an alluring one-for-one promotion, exclusive to food delivery service GrabFood.
From now until June 30, diners can grab two plant-based Whopper burgers at a promotional price of two for S$10.30 (U.P. two for $20.60).
It promises the same iconic flame-grilled taste of the signature Whopper — but made with 0% meat and 100% real ingredients with no artificial colouring, flavouring or preservatives.
A patty made from plants and sourced from The Vegetarian Butcher is used. It’s a well-known Dutch company focusing on animal-free “meat” — widely regarded as a more sustainable food source.
But it still retains its irresistible smoky flavour, a result of Burger King flame-grilling it with the same method and grills.
The recipe also remains the same, meaning that diners will be treated to the same iconic Whopper taste.
That makes this dish a great option for people who are looking to reduce their meat consumption but still hoping to indulge in their iconic burgers.
In true Burger King fashion, the plant-based Whopper patty is topped with freshly sliced onions, tomatoes and lettuce.
It is then finished with creamy mayonnaise, ketchup and crunchy pickles before being smothered between two toasted sesame buns.
