Hungry and tired? Craving for finger-licking-good ribs, steaks and other meats? There are plenty of choices on the island to have your meats plated and served. Do consider these 10 American & Australian-style barbecue that are fanning the flames of Singapore's smoked meat craze.

1) Decker Barbecue


Low, slow and finger-licking good. That is the ethos of Decker Barbecue where the melt-in-your-mouth brisket ($16 per 100g) is slow cooked to juicy goodness for 16 hours using their on-site smoker at the back of the restaurant.
Their range of slow-smoked meats — brisket, pulled pork, chopped beef, ribs, chicken, turkey — are best sampled via their Meat Platter (three meats [600g total] & two sides for $72), or a sandwich (from $16-$20) for smaller appetites.
Wash it all down with craft brews (Red Hook, Brooklyn Lager) and end off with the banana pudding ($8). As supply is limited and demand is high, aim to get there by 8pm or risk being told they're all out for the day.

Address: #01-17 the Quayside, 60 Robertson Quay, 238252
Operating Hours: Tue - Sun: 6pm-11pm

2) Meat Smith


There’s a deep, all-pervading smoke through everything you eat, like the succulent sheets of Angus brisket boasting a quarter-inch smoke ring and a girdle of fat that will have your taste buds cheering; silken slices of beef tongue and beef ribs so soft you could almost spread it on a piece of toast.

                                   Sun: 5pm- 9pm

4) Smokey’s BBQ


Start with a bowl of Smoked Beef Chili Nachos before moving on to the US Prime Beef Brisket, popular with diners for its tender, juicy meat that falls off the bone. It’s not just the generous portions that make their smokehouse a must-try, Smokey’s also offer a great pick of cocktails and beers in a laidback, fuss-free environment.

5) Dallas Restaurant & Bar 


Imagine a meat resto gone modern, contemporary bar-bistro – that’s Dallas Restaurant & Bar. While there are three outlets at prime locations in SG – Marina Bay Sands, Suntec City and Boat Quay. It’s the one at the Quay that you should head to if you want a view of the Singapore River and Central Business District’s Skyscrappper skyline. Black Angus Ribeye Steak and the baby back ribs should satisfy the meat lovers, as will the Wagyu and lamb burgers.

Address: 31 Boat Quay, Singapore 049820

                                 Sun: 12pm – 11pm


6) The Market Grill


People come specially to be seen at this homey-meets-industrial looking diner for a few reasons: it’s located at the hip Telok Ayer, has rolled out a new Saturday brunch (that has a sweet & savoury banana bacon toast) and it stills offers the most drool-worthy meat dishes. Other highlights include the hipster-beloved chicken and waffle- it comes drizzled with whisky maple syrup and lobster roll.

Address: 208 Telok Ayer Street, Singapore 068642
Operating Hours: Mon - Sat
                                Lunch: 11.30am – 2.30pm
                                Dinner: 6pm - 10pm
                                Closed on Sun


7) Burnt Ends


Burnt Ends is not the most conventional restaurant in Singapore.Earning a space on the Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants 2018 at Number 12 is an indication of both good food and reputation. It is a modern Australian-style barbecue restaurant which offers counter seats and open kitchen, possibly positioned to be more casual than fine dining.

This is no ordinary barbecue. They have their customized machines ovens and grills where food can be smoked, roasted, or even cooked directly on coals to 700 degrees Celsius. When the heat is up, the flavours are enhanced.

The menu is seasonal, and some offerings then included a Pork Tomahawk, Apple and Bourbon Glaze ($23 per 100g), Rump Cap Burnt Onion and Bone Marrow ($26 per 100g), Alfonsino Red Bream ($70 for 5 people) and King Crab and Garlic ($65). I would recommend Burnt Ends in a heartbeat, for its uniqueness and its take on barbecue that is probably not available anywhere else in the region.

Flavours are intense, food is heaty, and very tasty.

If there’s one thing that Singaporeans love other than buffet, it’s definitely Japanese food. Here’s a list of the best Japanese restaurants in Singapore.

1) ABURIYA JAPANESE BBQ


Aburiya is one of the better Japanese BBQ restaurants in Singapore. It is the kind of place to go for a fun night out with a group of friends to pig out.
Its ala carte menu offers plenty of choices for beef, pork, lamb, chicken, vegetables and seafood, but they recommend opting for the sets – the signature beef set (S$80) comes with an assortment of beef such as prime short rib, tenderloin and skirt; the seafood set (S$75) with prawns, scallops and squid; and the premium wagyu set (S$120) which offers beef tongue, cube-cut steak, skirt and prime short rib.

Operating Hours: Mon to Sat: 12noon – 3pm, 6.30pm – 11pm

3) AKANOYA ROBATAYAKI


Akanoya specialises in robatayaki. For the uninitiated, robatayaki is a technique in Japanese cuisine; customers sit around an open counter where fresh ingredients are displayed, and they can just point to order. The chefs will then grill the ingredients like seafood, meat, and vegetables over charcoal, and serve it to the customers using a long wooden paddle.

The must-try dish at Ginzawa is the Tokusen Hokkai Chirashi Don (S$48) that is available as part of its lunch sets. Topped with 11 types of premium seafood, it is not only super photogenic and Instagram-worthy, but also one of the best chirashi in town.

At Hide Yamamoto, diners can enjoy four different menus – namely: sushi, robatayaki, ramen and teppanyaki. The Japanese Restaurant is located on the second floor of the Marina Bay Sands Hotel and Casino, and it is the brainchild of renowned Chef Hide Yamaamoto.
While prices are steep, we’d recommend Hide Yamamoto restaurant at Marina Bay Sands if you like teppanyaki.

With more than 100 cool cafes merging out, it can be hard for people to keep track of them. Hence, we are here to help you guys to check out some unique and instagrammable café in Singapore.

1) Atlas Coffeehouse


Atlas, not ‘atas’ coffeeshop. Just because this café is located at Bukit Timah doesn’t mean that it is ‘atas’ (meaning ‘above’ in Malay, ‘high class’ in Singlish). Atlas Coffeehouse is helmed by the team behind Assembly Coffee, known for their Shibuya toasts, waffles and coffee.
ATLAS is the acronym for At-Land-Air-Sea, and the interior reflects part of the theme. Industrial cemented walls to represent the Land, natural sunlight (and air) pouring in at the window seats, deep navy blue region with white tiles shaped in a wave-like manner representing the Sea.
We hear their Eclipse Cold Tea Macchiato is one to try, alongside particularly fluffy Banana Butterscotch Pancakes and an impressive Mediterranean Pita Fry Up.

3) Sarnies


There’s a reason why Sarnies remains one of the longest standing cafés in Singapore. Operating in the heart of Telok Ayer since 2011, this bustling spot has gained a cult-like status among coffee fanatics, healthy food proponents, and legions of tired office workers itching for a good cuppa and DIY breakfast.
 Lunch time sees satisfying eats like the Mexican Salad, and once the weekend hits, the bearded hipsters and personal trainers are out in full force for a heaping plate of Eggs Benedict. That, and a double shot latte to kick start the festivities.

Address:  136 Telok Ayer St, Singapore 068601

                            Sat-Sun 12pm – 6pm.

6) Pacamara Boutique Coffee Roasters


Pacamara, started by the team behind Thomson’s OZ Speciality Coffee, is just as much known for their excellent coffee as they are the food, including heaping plates of roast chicken, steak frites, and crab meat linguine. Speciality offerings rotate on a weekly basis and include a single origin Huila Timana from Colombia, Nano Challa from Ethiopia, Don Eli from Costa Rica, and El Matazano from Honduras, which was recently ranked in the Cup of Excellence.

And as you can expect, their sandwiches are mighty delicious too.

Operating Hours: Mon-Fri 8am – 9pm
                             Sat-Sun 9am – 6pm

9) Punch 


Great brunch vibes are about at Punch, where natural lights are aplenty and the decor monochromatic and Instagram-able. For the perfect afternoon, dive into stacks of Earl Grey Pancakes and for the indulgent, perhaps a bowl of Tomato Bacon Soup with Grilled Cheese Toast. Whether you’re going for a batch brew, Chemex, V60, or even a Chai Latte, it’s safe to say that the drinks here are fabulous.

Address: 32 North Canal Rd, Singapore 059288
Operating Hours: Tue-Sun 8am – 6pm



10) RONIN


Ronin has been a mainstay along the trendy HongKong Street since 2013, offering its iconic Genovese ‘Super Brazil’ coffee along with a short but much-lauded repertoire of sandwiches and breakfast staples. The place is usually very crowded, so we recommend heading down on off-peak hours.
