What a nice experience! Such great staff and vibes the entire time. We order a table near the pool and it came out to be around 3M IDR, which is equivalent to around $190 USD. When I say it was difficult to hit this amount of money, we had to share our food and drinks with others around us! If we lived near Bali, we would be at this location frequently. We can't thank the service enough and how hospitable they were. Next time I am in Bali, Potato Head is a must. Thank you Potato Head team! Personal Review: 8.8/10

Stopped by late at night for a quick bite. Had the nasty fries and a beer. The fries with heavily laden with a piquant, slightly spicy sauce and ground beef chili. The fries were a little differently shaped than I'm used to, almost like a scoop for the good sauce. I do wish they had other options than beer to drink, maybe canned soda or bottled water.

If I'm in Singapore you can likely find me at a rooftop restaurant or bar. Said every tourist AND local ever. My brother suggested Potato Head since it's in his neighborhood and within walking distance, and for the ambiance. After a short wait we got up top without a reservation, but this was on a weekday before sunset. Mind you the view is not the selling reason Singaporeans flood rooftops. Truly, show me a Singaporean who doesn't love a rooftop romp. Yes, even in the humidity. FOOD & drink: American New fare at American by Singaporean high prices. If you're from either country it shouldn't surprise you. Lots of burgers, with Impossible meat, too. The usual flurry of cock & mock tails. Per post-modern-Asia-usual, something for everyone. Funny story: They touted an exciting fine American beer on the beverage menu so curiosity struck my lover. What came out was a PBR in its bottle! Hahaha! Well, at least it wasn't a can. There are four stories of dinning options here, with each floor showcasing different layouts and designs, giving just as much as, if not more than their rooftop. The third floor holds a fantastic and beautiful speak easy-ish bar with mixology-full drinks. I found myself more comfortable there than up top. Still, my advice is to stop by if you're staying in or near Chinatown and looking for that rooftop flex. There's even a DJ! Leave your American ADA reliance at home, friends. The staircase is narrow and long. Four flights isn't normally an issue for me but on this trip I was 6 nearly 7 months pregnant and walking everywhere so you can imagine. I guess my review is not for pregnant people. Or maybe it is.... I dare say Asia does have the best mocktails.

Such a VIBE! If I lived in Singapore, I think Potato Head would be my go-to bar. We visited on a Sunday afternoon and found the place almost completely empty. The cocktail menu was pretty extensive, with a mix of classics and signature variations. I ordered an Espresso Martini and it was perfectly made - not too creamy, just the right amount of foam. All my friends loved their drinks as well, including the Missionary Style and the Caffè Nel Bosco. We also ordered the Miso Dirty Fries to share, and I still fantasize about them over a week later. I loved the unique shape of these fries (almost chip shaped) and the miso béarnaise sauce was absolutely insane. My friend also mentioned that the Truffle Cheese Fries here are amazing, and I fully believe it. We sat upstairs in the Studio 1939 area, which had completely different decor than the other floors. The bar itself was beautiful, the ambiance was lovely, and I loved the fun little disco ball hanging from the ceiling. Absolutely worth the visit!

Love the vibe and that the different floors have different personalities. Be sure to check out the rooftop. There isn't much of a view but the vibe is great and feels breezy and cool at night. Something to think about especially if you're concerned about dining indoors due to Covid. You can also order to go at their window on the bottom floor if you just want to try.

A venerable institution on KS Road, Potato head is one of the perennially popular places in the city. We had gone at 4pm on a Sunday, and still had to wait an hour. The 3 buns brand serves up an interesting choice of burgers (including recently added Impossible meat range). Good place to go with a group of friends to hangout and chill.

Jamming to Jamaica Funk as we came in, this hip hop spot in the heart of Chinatown looks a tad rundown and shady as you walk through it's relatively concealed entrance. Up one flight of stairs is small, intimate club like room teeming with activity. Known for its burgers, there was a wide assortment of exotic choices. I decided on the Watermelon Man with house fries. Now who puts watermelon on a burger??? Potato Head does! And now, so do I! Moist and juicy, the beef patty was deliciously accented with the cool sweetness of the melon, which contrasted very well with the spicy house made ketchup. Frankly, the 8oz burger was not enough as I scoffed it down! I absolutely love this place and will be back when I find myself in Singapore!

I couldn't have been more excited when I heard that the Impossible Burger was coming to our shores. I've tried their competitor before and was looking forward to how good the impossible patty really was and it did not disappoint! Impossible Chedda ($23.00) This was such a delight to have. It still baffles me how they managed to get it looking, tasting and feeling so much like meat when it's all plant based. The only thing is, I wished the added less ketchup. It did feel like they were trying to mask whatever non-meatiness there was but having tasted the patty on its own, I think it would have handled itself just fine. The other parts of the burger was great too. The brioche bun was beautifully toasted yet remained soft and fluffy while the onion purée & pickles gave it an extra lift. Overall a fantastic burger Burning Rice ($18.00) The burning rice was pretty interesting too. A great option for friends who need something more asian while bearding to a burger joint. The rice had a good spice added to it and it's interesting that they serve it with a burger patty. Be warned though, it's a pretty big bowl of carbs! Sticky Icky Wicky ($7.00) Finally! A sticky date pudding done right. Too many times I've ordered a sticky date pudding or sticky toffee pudding in Singapore and it was a let down. This on the other when an absolute delight to have. It's warm, sticky, sweet, yummy. The kind of dessert that warms your heart and soul while you swallow it. Contrast that with the ice cold ice cream it's served with and it was absolutely yummy. Overall, we loved the place. The food we tried were really good and I will definitely be back. And yes, for the Impossible Burger.

Came here with a group and rented out the second floor - it's complete with a stunning bar in the corner then high top tables in the middle of the space and smaller more traditional seatings flaking the windows. They had great drinks, and the bartender worked well making them quickly and correctly for our large party. They began with appetizers of fried chicken, corn fries, and truffle fries as well. All were absolutely delicious yet could have been a bit warmer in temperature. Then for the meal they brought out trays of their various burgers. My favorite was the BBQ Bacon burger, although the regular and chicken were also delicious. We ventured up to the very buys rooftop bar on the 3rd floor which had nice views of the city. They successfully execute their take on elevating dishes such as burgers, fries, and fried chicken to a level where you feel a bit upscale eating them.
