One Fattened Calf Burgers (OFC) is a from-scratch burger shop on the ground floor of Galaxis at 1 Fusionopolis Place in one-north. It was born out of a passion to create mouth-watering, delicious burgers for everyone — and the kitchen takes that seriously, baking fluffy potato buns, grinding grass-fed beef, brewing its own signature sauce and preparing the pickles in-house. The only thing OFC doesn't do, it jokes, is breed its own cows.
The burgers are built on 150g patties of premium grass-fed beef, with no fillers, preservatives, artificial flavourings or growth hormones, and there is no pork or lard in any of the food. Alongside the namesake OFC burger come what the shop calls the perfect crunchy fries, making for a short, focused menu rather than a sprawling one.
The Galaxis outlet serves Monday to Saturday across two windows, 11:00am–3:00pm and 5:00pm–8:00pm, and closes on Sundays and public holidays, with takeaway only from 2:15pm and from 7:15pm. There is no reservation system — tables are given once the whole group is present — and orders can also be placed online for pickup. A second outlet operates at New Bahru, 46 Kim Yam Road.
One Fattened Calf Burgers — OFC to just about everyone — occupies a small unit on the ground floor of Galaxis at 1 Fusionopolis Place in one-north. The idea behind the shop is disarmingly simple: build a mouth-watering, delicious burger that anyone can enjoy, and make almost all of it yourself. The team describes OFC as born out of a passion for exactly that, and the kitchen walks the talk. The potato buns are baked in-house, the grass-fed beef is ground on site, the signature sauce is brewed in the kitchen and even the pickles are prepared from scratch. As the shop itself puts it, the only thing it doesn't do — yet — is breed its own cows.
That discipline shows up in the details of the finished burger. The patty is a substantial 150g of premium grass-fed beef, chosen because the team believes good quality beef makes for good quality burgers. It sits in one of OFC's freshly made potato buns — fluffy and sturdy enough for the job — and gets finished with the shop's own signature sauce and house-made pickles. Alongside it: fries the shop confidently calls the perfect crunchy fries.
The quality claims are kept refreshingly concrete. There are no fillers, preservatives, artificial flavourings or growth hormones in the beef, and the kitchen notes plainly that there is no pork or lard in its food — a detail many diners in Singapore will appreciate.
If you have been searching for a really satisfying burger, the shop says the OFC burger is the treasure you seek. It's the namesake order: the 150g grass-fed patty, the potato bun, the sauce, the pickles — the whole from-scratch argument in one bite, best followed by a fistful of those crunchy fries.
A few practical notes will make a first trip smoother. The Galaxis outlet runs a split day, serving from 11:00am to 3:00pm and again from 5:00pm to 8:00pm, Monday through Saturday. It closes on Sundays and public holidays. There are two cut-offs worth knowing: from 2:15pm and again from 7:15pm, service is takeaway only — so arrive before then if you want a table.
Reservations aren't part of the picture either. OFC does not have a reservation system at either of its outlets — the second lives at New Bahru, 46 Kim Yam Road — and seats customers only once the whole group is present. In other words, time your arrival for when everyone in your party can walk in together.
If you'd rather skip the wait entirely, OFC takes orders through its online ordering page linked from its website, which suits the takeaway windows and the lunchtime rush nicely.
One Fattened Calf is not trying to be everything. It is a burger shop that grinds its beef, bakes its buns, brews its sauce and pickles its cucumbers because it believes that's how you get a genuinely satisfying burger. Come for the namesake OFC burger, add the crunchy fries, arrive with your full group before the takeaway-only cut-offs, and you'll experience exactly what the shop set out to do: one really good burger, made almost entirely by hand.
