BBQ Box 串烧工坊 (Geylang) - Northeastern Chinese Style Skewers

 BBQ Box - Restaurant Signage

It has been many months since I last had northeastern Chinese food at Dong Bei Ren Jia 东北人家 and Dong Bei Xiao Chu 东北小厨. I decided to satisfy my craving for northeastern Chinese food at a restaurant I have been eyeing on - BBQ Box 串烧工坊.

As the name implies, BBQ Box specializes in barbecue. In particular, they specialize in northeastern Chinese style of barbecue. BBQ Box has 3 outlets located in Geylang, Bugis and Chinatown.

BBQ Box (Geylang) 

BBQ Box - Interior

BBQ Box’s Geylang outlet is their first outlet. It is decorated in mechanical design with brick walls and engine art on the walls.

BBQ Box - Wall Decoration

The brown wooden tables and black chairs are widely spaced apart, in accordance with Covid-19 safe distancing measures. 

The restaurant looks clean and tidy, I am liking the place so far. 

BBQ Box - The Food 

There is a saying that roughly translates to “give a northeastern Chinese a stove and they can grill the world” and BBQ Box’s menu clearly exemplifies that.

BBQ Box - Menu

Look at that menu, it has everything you can possibly want to eat. There are grilled meat, starters, grilled seafood, premium skewers, speciality grills, grilled greens and beverages.

BBQ Box - Pig Ear with Cucumber

To start off the meal, I ordered my favorite Pig Ear with Cucumber 猪耳朵拍黄瓜 [S$10]. It is a crunchy and refreshing cold side dish. 

BBQ Box - Tofu Fish Fillet Soup

Tofu Fish Fillet Soup 豆花鱼片[S$12.80] comes in a rectangular foil tin with a small burner below to keep it boiling hot. I find it a little too salty for my liking but the fish fillets are fresh with firm texture. 

I ordered a couple of grilled items to try:

BBQ Box - Grilled Foods

Each table is equipped with a wooden stove with metal plate on top. This is to keep your grilled foods piping hot throughout your meal. However, the stove on my table doesn’t seem to be working, my food is still cold even though the staff turned on the stove.

BBQ Box - Dumplings (pork with cabbage)

If you need some carbohydrates to go with your grilled items, consider getting Dumplings (pork with cabbage 白菜猪肉水饺/shrimp leek and egg 虾仁三鲜水饺/pork with leek 韭菜猪肉水饺)[S$4.80/S$5.80 for 6 pieces, S$7.80/S$8.80 for 12 pieces]. 

BBQ Box - Grilled Food

There is a wide range of barbecue and food items to choose from at BBQ Box. The prices are a little pricier than I expected but still manageable. 

BBQ Box has its own delivery system, you can order here (it’s all in Chinese though).

PAUL

PAUL is a renowned family French bakery and patisserie founded in 1889. Bringing with them them the fine tradition of passion for food and French traditions, PAUL gives Singaporeans a glimpse into French culture and tradition through the delicious and visually-appealing pastries and food.       PAUL's Hot Chocolate is not as creamy as I would have liked it but every last drop is made with good-quality cocoa powder.     Lemon Tart With Meringue is not exactly my favourite dessert, but it looked so pretty that I decided to give it a try anyway. However, it proved to be too sour for my palette even with the beautifully flamed meringue.    Croque Madame is croque-monsieur (grilled ham and cheese sandwich) topped with a fried egg. Emmental cheese, cream and ham is sandwich in pain de eie and toasted till a rich golden brown colour. Topped with a fried egg with runny yolk, every bite is filled with delicious goodness.   Address and telephone n...

O'ma Spoon

                        Korean bingsu is a popular Korean dessert comprising of ice shavings and various ingredients such as sweetened condensed milk, fruit syrups, fresh fruits, Korean rice cake and ice-cream. Bingsu is all the craze in Singapore now and Korean bingsu cafes are popping up everywhere like wild mushrooms.                            Besides bingsu, this dessert cafe also serves usual cafe offerings such as coffee and tea. I have been told that their Signature Oven-Baked Honey Bread is very good. The flavours include Strawberry & Chocolate with Ice Cream, Banana & Chocolate with Ice Cream and Green Tea with Ice Cream.     I was told that   Mango Cheesecake Bingsu   is one of the most popular item on the menu. Oh my, it is a sight to behold! A bowl of shaved ice is topped with sweetened condensed milk and freshly-cut m...

Grandma's - Authentic Singapore Food

Grandma's has been around for quite a while now but I only got the chance to try their food recently when the third outlet opened in Suntec City.        I remember having these prawn crackers when I was little. They are so easy and good to eat, I can finish a whole package of this in one sitting.     I don't usually order Malay food, but the Nasi Bukhari looked so good in the menu, I thought I will give it a try. Fragrant yellow turmeric rice is served with golden brown chicken leg which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Prawns were fresh and succulent but I don't really like the sauce the prawns are cooked in. What really amazes me about this dish is the beef rendang.          I never knew Bo Bo Cha Cha is so such a delightful dessert until I tried it here at Grandma's. The warm and thick coconut tastes so good with chunks of sweet potato and yam. This is definitely comfort food that warms the heart.   Gr...
