Absolutely love Chinese BBQ skewers? You’ve definitely heard of BBQ Box! With 8 outlets in Singapore and 3 in Johor, Malaysia, this popular Chinese BBQ skewer chain has steadily expanded since its humble beginnings in Geylang in 2008. BBQ Box is also one of the largest Chinese skewer chains in Singapore!With their brand expansion, BBQ Box aims to bring their delicious delicacies to the convenience of all their fans! In recent months, they have opened outlets near neighbourhood shopping malls, with their latest outlet opening in July at Ang Mo Kio Hub (AMK Hub)! This 1,000 sq ft store features all their best-sellers, along with a variety of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks to complement their tantalising skewers!Sneak a Peek!BBQ Box takes pride in providing you with the best dining ambiance, featuring its iconic recycled metal interior design that exudes an urban and industrial style. At 5 pm daily, the lights are dimmed to create a bar-like atmosphere, ensuring your comfort while you drink and dine. If you’re a frequent visitor of BBQ Box, you’ll notice that most of their outlets offer outdoor seating, and AMK Hub is no exception! With outdoor seating beside a glass door showcasing their drinks, it feels like you're dining at an alfresco bar with Chinese delicacies!What’s cooking?Starting in early 2025, BBQ Box will treat you to exclusive premium meat cuts, such as squid mouth, premium lamb rib side, and more! What you can expect are called 手把串 (petite skewers), served in small quantities to keep the price affordable.Every month, look forward to dining with new themes featuring the best meats of the season. For November, the theme is 一份来自海洋的礼物 (A Gift from the Ocean), as it's the perfect time of year for seafood. As a result, you’ll find premium seafood dishes on exclusive promotions, right here at BBQ Box.As they embark on opening more outlets in shopping malls, they have created Singaporeans' favourite “Lok Lok” as part of their permanent menu, just for their mall outlets - Jurong Point & AMK Hub!Starting from 14 November, one of their crowd favourites, Grilled Fresh Prawns, will be upgraded to Red Sea Prawns from Saudi Arabia! What’s so special about this change? BBQ Box will be the first restaurant in Singapore to serve Grilled Red Sea Prawns! These prawns are known for their higher salt content and juicier texture compared to others. The new, exclusive prawns will be priced at just $1.80 per stick. So, head down now and taste them for yourself!After all the introductions of new items on their menu, we couldn't wait to dig into all their best-sellers!1. Australian Lamb Rib Finger Skewer ($10.80 for 10 skewers)When we were first introduced to this, we were worried it wouldn’t live up to the exquisite taste we were promised. But oh, were we wrong! This exclusive premium Australian Lamb Rib is served only in petite portions, and we totally understand why! The meat comes from a small section of the lamb’s rib, which is known for its tenderness and sweetness. We took a bite and were absolutely blown away by how fragrant it was, yet it wasn’t overpowering like most lamb meat. It’s not gamey either, which was one of our concerns. This is by far our number one recommendation, and you should definitely try it while you’re there! Not to mention, lamb skewers are always perfect with a couple of beers.2. Grilled Squid Lips/Tentacles ($3.60 for 5 skewers)These two squids embody the true meaning of “small but mighty.” Even though they are part of the petite skewer range, both the tentacles and squid lips pack a punch of flavours that are both spicy and irresistible! Did you even know squids have mouths that can taste so good? Because we sure didn’t—until we dined here! Chewy yet easy to bite, this is our definition of what bouncy texture should taste like. Plus, you don’t have to worry about the fishy squid taste, as these are top-quality, fresh ingredients! Furthermore, the generous coat of seasoning completely envelops the squid, making it the perfect snack if you're craving something spicy.3. Baby Yellow Croaker ($1.20 per skewer)If you’re a fan of the iconic Japanese shishamo, this is like the upgraded, elevated Chinese version of it. Completely grilled to crisp, this fish teases your palate! At first bite, the exterior is extremely crispy, giving off that crunchy sound many ASMR Mukbang creators love! What surprises you is how thick the meat is for such a small fish. The interior is so soft that all of us were taken aback by the contrast in texture, and they didn’t compromise on taste! Both the exterior and interior are extremely flavourful with no fishy taste. However, this fish cannot be eaten whole like most shishamo. It contains lots of tiny bones, so if you wish to enjoy it (which you should), be careful of the bones, and it’s best not to give it to young children. Trust us, it’s worth taking the time to de-bone this fish.4. Golden Fried Skewer "Lok Lok" ($8.80 per set)This delicious fried “Lok Lok” comes in a set of 6, featuring must-haves like broccoli, prawns, and many more, all seasoned with “Lok Lok” powder! Every bite transports you to a midnight scene in Malaysia, where we often get our supper fix from the old-school van, sizzling with oil and serving our favourite midnight snack. Grab them while you're here at BBQ Box to enjoy with your drinks and skewers! Available exclusively at the Jurong Point and AMK Hub outlets only!5. Golden Toast ($1.50 per skewer)Their famous Golden Toast is to die for and an absolute must-try when you dine at BBQ Box. With their recent upgrade, the toast is now fluffier and taller than ever! Perfectly seasoned and grilled to perfection, be sure to eat it within 10 minutes of serving to fully savour the flavour. This is no ordinary bread — it will blow your mind! Alternatively, try their Grilled Handmade Mantou ($1.50/skewer) if you prefer something even fluffier and chewier!6. Glutinous Sticky Corn Skewer ($2.90 for 3 skewers)This is one of the most unassuming dishes we’ve tasted: little corn kernels coated with glutinous flour and barbecued to perfection. These small corn kernels are packed with texture and seasoning. With the first bite, you'll be greeted by a burst of spice, followed by a thin layer of glutinous flour before reaching the crunch of the kernels. This dish is perfect for those who wish to enjoy a light snack and don’t want to indulge in meat-heavy skewers.7. Spinach with Vinaigrette Dressing ($8.80 per bowl)If you're a vinegar lover, this dish is a must-try! Generously doused in vinegar, the spinach delivers an explosion of sourness that cuts through the greasiness of the skewers and refreshes your palate for the next dish. To top it off, it comes with crispy chilli on the side to complement the vinaigrette dressing, making it taste like the vegetable version of China’s famous Spicy Wonton in Chili Oil (红油抄手). We never thought we'd love spinach more than we already do — this is a must-try!8. Yogurt Glutinous Rice Cake w/Brown Sauce ($8.80 per plate)Only available at Clarke Quay, Chinatown, East Coast, AMK Hub & Jurong Point outletTo end your night, be sure to sweeten it with their Yogurt Glutinous Rice Cake with Brown Sauce! This chewy dessert is not too sweet and perfectly balances out the hearty dishes you've just enjoyed. The sweet brown sauce on the outside of the rice cake instantly refreshes your palate and entices you to take a bite of the succulent piece. When you do, you'll experience the mild sweetness of the yogurt lava flowing out, even when eaten cold. Unlike cheese, which hardens, BBQ Box’s choice of yogurt ensures it remains soft, even if left out for a while. Most importantly, this sweet treat isn't overwhelming — it’s the perfect way to close out a night of feasting and drinking at BBQ Box.9. 3 Spice CondimentsWe absolutely can’t end this article without a shoutout to their condiments! Each order comes with a set of condiments for every customer at the table. The spice in these condiments is the perfect cherry on top for those with a stronger palate who want more “oomph” with every bite of their skewers. First, we have cumin (dark green), which isn't spicy but adds extra taste to the spicy skewers, elevating them even further. Next, there's the dark red chilli powder, perfect for spice lovers who want an extra kick! Finally, enjoy their mixed seasoning in light orange, which offers a slightly spicier kick with much more flavour — it's like a combination of both cumin and chilli powder. If you're a fan of spice, this condiment is a must-try, and we're sure you'll be asking the staff for more!Frozen SkewersWish to enjoy these delicacies in the comfort of your own home or host a BBQ party at a friend's house? Shop their frozen, ready-to-cook skewers, which fit perfectly into an air fryer for your convenience! Their frozen products include a wide range of 23 of their best-selling skewers.
