Shake Shack Singapore Launches Korean-Style Burgers with Michelin-Starred Nae:um
Shake Shack Singapore is turning up the heat with a bold new collaboration that blends fast-casual comfort with Michelin-starred finesse. For a limited time, the popular burger chain has teamed up with Chef Louis Han of Nae:um, Singapore’s Michelin-starred Korean fine-dining restaurant, to introduce a Korean-inspired burger menu that puts a local and contemporary twist on Shake Shack classics.
This exclusive menu is a celebration of Korean flavours, thoughtful ingredients, and playful experimentation — making it a must-try for burger lovers and foodies alike.
A Michelin-Starred Take on Korean Comfort Food
Chef Louis Han is known for his modern interpretation of Korean cuisine, and this collaboration brings that creative vision into a more casual, accessible format. The result? Familiar Shake Shack favourites reimagined with bold Korean elements, from fermented sauces to traditional marinades.
The limited-time menu is inspired by classic Korean dishes and flavours, elevated through premium ingredients and Shake Shack’s signature quality standards.
What’s on the Korean-Style Menu?
Korean Fried Chicken Burger
Crispy, juicy chicken is coated in a sweet-spicy glaze inspired by Korean fried chicken, layered with crunchy slaw and served in Shake Shack’s soft potato bun. It’s indulgent, flavour-packed, and perfectly balanced.
Korean BBQ Burger
This beef burger features rich, savoury flavours reminiscent of Korean galbi, complemented by fermented and pickled accents that cut through the richness. It’s familiar yet exciting, with depth that sets it apart from a typical fast-food burger.
Jangajji Fries
Shake Shack’s iconic crinkle-cut fries get a Korean upgrade with pickled vegetables inspired by jangajji. Tangy, refreshing, and addictive, they’re the ideal side dish to the burgers.
Makgeolli-Inspired Shake
Rounding out the menu is a dessert shake inspired by makgeolli, Korea’s traditional rice wine. Creamy, lightly tropical, and subtly tangy, it offers a refreshing contrast to the savoury mains — and a creative nod to Korean drinking culture.
Why This Collaboration Matters
This collaboration highlights Singapore’s ever-evolving food scene, where global brands increasingly partner with local and Michelin-recognised chefs to create exclusive dining experiences. By working with Nae:um, Shake Shack bridges the gap between fine dining and fast-casual, making Korean-inspired flavours more approachable for a wider audience.
It’s also a reflection of Singaporeans’ growing appetite for Korean cuisine beyond BBQ and fried chicken — embracing fermented flavours, thoughtful pairings, and modern interpretations.
Where and When to Try It
The Korean-style Shake Shack x Nae:um menu is available for a limited time only at selected Shake Shack outlets across Singapore. Due to high demand and the exclusivity of the collaboration, fans are encouraged to visit early before items sell out.
Whether you’re a longtime Shake Shack fan, a follower of Nae:um, or simply curious about Korean-inspired burgers, this collaboration is worth adding to your food bucket list.
Final Bite
Shake Shack Singapore’s Korean-style menu proves that fast-casual dining doesn’t have to be ordinary. With Michelin-starred influence, bold flavours, and playful creativity, this collaboration delivers a fresh reason to revisit one of Singapore’s favourite burger joints — and a delicious example of how global brands can localise brilliantly.
