With its 600 grams of beef, 100 grams of bacon and two fried eggs, the Cowboy Burger, which costs $47.50, is an affront to calorie counters everywhere.

But Wayan Mawa, Raffles’ executive chef, said it’s a treat to be shared among friends. “My idea came from when I was in the US, seeing people eating burgers, burgers and burgers!” said Mawa.
