The burger was accompanied by a side of mashed potatoes, broccoli, and baby carrots, all topped off with a brown sauce.
Even as the recruits’ BMT stint is coming to an end, BMTC hopes to encourage them to be “strong, resilient and steadfast” as they embark on a new chapter in their National Service (NS) journey.
Netizens point out similarities to McDonald’s Ninja Burger
Several netizens pointed out how good the burger looked.
Perhaps a shocking reaction given how most people wouldn’t associate the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) with delicious food.

Some users felt FOMO (fear of missing out) at the fact that SAF’s food offerings today are leaps above that of years gone by.

And it’s pretty easy to see why.

This isn’t the first time that BMTC’s cookhouse caused netizens to drool in front of their screens.
In January, BMTC recruits enjoyed baked duck paired with pineapple tarts for Chinese New Year (CNY).
