For those who have never been to Dongbei, North Eastern China or tasted the cuisine there before, I recommend that you visit BBQ Box at Tan Quee Lan Street.
They serve a huge variety of BBQ skewers marinated Dongbei style ranging from :
- Meats : beef, pork, chicken, lamb etc
- Seafood : shishamo, cuttlefish, oysters, prawn etc
- Vegetables : chinese leek, potato etc
- wide variety of mushrooms
- Others like toasted bread, sausages etc
The special part of this outlet is the heating box at the centre of the table. It has two candles lit within it and then covered over by an aluminium top. The cooked skewers are then placed on top and helps to keep them warm. Remember to ask for separate spices (cumin, chilli, sesame seeds etc) for you to add on to your skewers too if you prefer your food to have a stronger flavour.
You can also order many authentic Dongbei North Eastern cuisine too like : Bean paste noodles (zha jiang mian), shredded spicy, toufu salad, cold tossed cucumber salad,, grilled eggplant and many more !
The overall atmosphere at the restaurant is very lively and happening and many patrons come here for beer post dinner too ! Certainly a MustVisit restaurant for you to enjoy authentic North Eastern cuisine and experience the friendly, lively Dongbei culture !
Note that this restaurant is very popular amongst locals as well as mainland Chinese working in Singapore. So ensure that you call to make an advance booking. Otherwise, you may end up queuing for at least an hour for a table during peak hours !
