About Ashes Burnnit Bukit Merah

Ashes Burnnit is a Singapore gourmet burger brand famous for its charcoal bun burgers, blending local and Western flavours at affordable prices. The brand started as a single stall at Golden Mile Food Centre in 2018-2019, born from a casual conversation between friends about bringing gourmet burgers into the hawker scene, and introducing charcoal buns as a signature touch tied to the brand name.

From that first outlet, Ashes Burnnit expanded across Singapore through the early 2020s, adding locations in Bedok, Alexandra and Teck Whye Lane, alongside a refreshed menu launched in early 2021. By 2022-2024 the brand had taken its local flavours international, opening in New York City, and by 2025 it had grown into a multi-outlet gourmet burger chain across Singapore, expanding further through franchising.

Today Ashes Burnnit operates from coffeeshop and hawker centre locations across the island, including Golden Mile Food Centre, Alexandra Village Food Centre, Teck Whye Lane, Tampines, Bedok North, Woodlands North Plaza, Toa Payoh, Jurong West, Sengkang, Yishun and Bidadari (the last two under its Charr-Bo sub-brand). The brand has been described by TheHalalEater as known for "restaurant quality burgers at wallet-friendly prices," while LW Eating House Founders called its grilled chicken chop "the best and tastiest... a must try."

Ashes Burnnit: From a Hawker Stall to Singapore's Famous Charcoal Bun Burgers

Ashes Burnnit began with a casual conversation between friends about bringing gourmet burgers into Singapore's hawker scene. That idea took physical shape in 2018-2019 as the brand's first flagship outlet at Golden Mile Food Centre, where the team introduced charcoal buns — a signature touch tied directly to the "Ashes" name — and set out to blend local and Western flavours into affordable gourmet food for the community.

Rising from a Single Stall

From that corner of a hawker centre, Ashes Burnnit expanded through 2020-2021 into new regions of Singapore, adding outlets in Bedok South, Alexandra and Teck Whye Lane. A fresh menu launched in early 2021 kept regulars coming back, and by 2022-2024 the brand had grown confident enough to take its local flavours overseas, opening a location in New York City — described by the team as bringing "a new burst of burgers" to the "City of Burgers."

A Growing Local Chain

By 2025, Ashes Burnnit had grown from that single hawker stall into a multi-outlet gourmet burger brand across Singapore, expanding further through franchising to make its burgers easier to find nationwide. The brand now operates from a mix of coffeeshop and hawker centre locations, including Golden Mile Food Centre, Alexandra Village Food Centre, Teck Whye Lane (LW Eating House), Tampines (Yak Hong Kopitiam), Bedok North, Woodlands North Plaza, Toa Payoh (New Hong Kong Restaurant), Jurong West (7 Star), Sengkang (Rasa Rasa), Yishun (Coffee and Tea) and Bidadari (Rahsia) — the last two operating under the brand's Charr-Bo sub-line.

What People Say

Ashes Burnnit has picked up recognition for hitting a balance between quality and price. TheHalalEater described the brand as "known for its restaurant quality burgers at wallet-friendly prices," while LW Eating House Founders singled out the grilled chicken chop as "the best and tastiest... i've ever had!! a must try!" — high praise from a fellow food business.

Two Menu Formats

A Coffeeshop Menu is available at the Teck Whye Lane, Tampines, Jurong West, Bedok North, Woodlands, Toa Payoh and Sengkang locations, while a Hawker Menu is served at the original Alexandra Village and Golden Mile outlets. Both formats centre on the same charcoal bun burger identity the brand built its name on.
