I was always tempted to try out the burgers at Freddie's ever since it opened at the Ion Orchard basement and it was not long before I managed to get Daphne to accompany me on yet another burger journey.
The Aussie: 3.75/5
The usual burger set, which comes with curly fries and a drink, would cost $8.50. But if you're a student, there's reason to be happy - $5.75 from 2pm to 6pm on weekdays! I have to admit that it's a little pricier than Burger King and almost as expensive as Carl's Jr, but the size of the burger is more or less on par with Burger King's and definitely smaller than those from Carl's. Which means it all comes down to taste.
"The Aussie", a beef burger with cheese and fried egg, seemed like something so simple that you couldn't possibly go wrong with it. A good thing that Freddie's didn't disappoint. The beef patty was really tender and juicy, and it certainly went well with the sweet (barbecue) sauce. Simple but delicious.
Curly Fries: 4.5/5
I'm biased. I love curly fries, I really do. The fries here, as you can tell from the picture, are of a brighter gold yellow colour than MacDonald's golden brown shade, which means the former is fresher and comes from well, less overused oil? Simply a delight to munch away with chilli sauce or if you like, on its own.
Service
Very good.
Price
$5.75 for a student's set meal (UP: $8.50).

When I had the mini Perth on the second week of ION's opening, I thought it was good...
September 25, 2009 at 11:29 PMI couldn't resist and went to their branch at OUB Plaza, though good but I thought it was overpriced and that the patty was alittle too starchy...
As for curly fries, you are not alone... I love them too and I can munch non-stop...
Yay... Another curly fries lover ;)
September 25, 2009 at 11:33 PMYeah I would say it's a tad overpriced too so the student's meal was worth it. That said, Freddie's seems to have a new promotion at Ion, I think it's a little bit cheaper now, go check it out! :)
I am no longer a student, how sad...
September 26, 2009 at 5:03 PMReally? Alright, time to grab a burger at ION...
