Wolf Burger at Funan Mall


Wolf Burger is located on the ground floor of the newly re-opened Funan Mall.  The concept is a bit like MacDonald, you place your order at the machine.  There are many different choices and you can  choose how you like to customize your burger.  Everything is done on the machine, including payment.  No human interaction is required. Once you pay for your order, you will get a payment slip like the one below.


On the payment slip, there is an order number and a QR code.  You can sit down and wait for your number to be called. 


Once your number is called, your food will appear at the collection box with your number clearly displayed.  Now, bring your payment slip to the collection point, scan the QR code at the scanner on the left of the collection box, then the box will open, and voila, your food is all yours.  Everything is  automatic.  Theoretically,  there is no need for any human in the shop front at all.  However, as this is still new to many customers, there are still 2-3 staff available at the shop front to provide help, which is very much appreciated. 

Impossible Truffle, $17.90

I ordered the Impossible Truffle burger.  If nobody tells me, I wouldn't know the meat is actually fake meat, made from vegetables such as potatoes, etc.   The taste is just like any other burger patty, with almost the same type of flavor and taste, but the texture is much more smooth.  This is my very first encounter with fake meat, and the impression is way better than I had thought.  My attitude towards fake meat has changed from total rejection to an open-mind, at least it is worth trying.  My concerned for fake meat, just like any other heavily processed food, is the long-term effect on humans. 

I like the burger here and the price is quite reasonable.  Most likely I will come back here if I have a sudden craving for burgers, or fake meat :-)
