Meow BBQ @ Bugis+ - Cat-themed BBQ Restaurant From China Opens First Overseas Outpost In Singapore

MeowBBQ5

Award-winning Meow BBQ from China, with over 30 outlets across ten major Chinese cities, opened its first overseas outpost at Bugis+, Singapore. The founder's love for cats can be seen around the interior of the cat-themed BBQ restaurant. The cuteness of cat paws and motifs can is found all around the restaurant, from the front entrance to the crockery used and various decorative ornaments in and around the space.

Meow Signature Spicy Beef 4/5

The Meow Signature Spicy Beef ($23.80) is a must-have at Meow BBQ. Do not be deceived by the name of the dish. It is not spicy at all. The thinly cut grain-fed 129-day-old sliced beef is marinated with pickled chillies and sprinkled with sesame. While the flavours are appetising, the meat is too thinly cut for a satisfying textural enjoyment.

Meow Signature Mixed Meat Platter 3.5/5

Great for sharing and trying out the different options on the menu is the Meow Signature Mixed Meat Platter ($66.80). It comprises Meow Signature Beef Cubes with Onion, Premium Iberico Pork Belly, Iberico Pork Collar in Smoky Sauce, Teriyaki Chicken Thigh and Marbled Beef Chunk.

Iberico Pork Collar Marinated in Pineapple Sauce 3.8/5

The Iberico Pork Collar Marinated in Pineapple Sauce ($22.80) is succulent and juicy with a hint of sweetness from the pineapple marination.

Meow Signature Chicken with Cheese Dip 3.5/5

The Meow Signature Chicken with Cheese Dip ($15.80) is incredibly tender. Heat the cheese dip and dunk the chunky chicken pieces into the melting cheese for an accentuated enjoyment.

Meow Signature Beef Donburi 3/5

For something more substantial or a quick lunch, one can go for the Meow Signature Beef Donburi ($8.80). For less than ten dollars, you get a bowl of grilled beef, sweet onions and an onsen egg for a wallet-friendly meal.

Black Cat Snow Ice 4/5

Diners can go for the Black Cat Snow Ice ($10.80) and Meow Signature Caramel Pudding ($6.80) to wrap up the meal on a sweet note. My favourite is the snow ice which is like the Korean bingsu. The snow ice is soft and fluffy, with a sweet finish. As for the caramel pudding, I preferred it to be more caramelised.

Smoothie House @ Westgate - Popular Taiwanese Snowflake Ice Opened Flagship Store in Singapore

IMG_7850ed

Popular Taiwanese snowflake ice dessert, Smoothie House has opened its flagship store at Westgate. Regarded by CNN as the 'must try' dessert place, now Singaporeans can also enjoy the renowned fruit based desserts originated from Taipei, Yong Kang Street. The snowflake ice desserts at Smoothie House comes in three sizes, Healthy ($7.90), Sharing ($9.90-$12.90) and Family ($15.90).

Mango Snowflake Ice 4/5

We tried the Mango Snowflake Ice ($9.90) that comes with mango shaved ice covered in chunky, juicy mango cubes, topped with panna cotta and drizzled with condensed milk and special fresh fruit mango sauce. The snowflake ice is really super soft and fluffy. Together with the sweet mango cubes, this is a very refreshing dessert perfect for Singapore's weather.

Tie Guan Yin Milky Snowflake Ice 4.2/5

Only exclusively available here is the Tie Guan Yin Milky Snowflake Ice ($9.90) The creamy milk shaved ice is served with cooling tie guan yin jelly. topped with a tea prune and drizzled with black sugar syrup. On the side is freshly cooked mixed pearls in black sugar syrup. I am not too sure why they served the pearls separately, I thought it would be visually more stunning if it is served together with the snowflake ice. Not as sweet compared to the mango snowflake ice, but the hint of tea fragrance, lightness and black sugar syrup was a clear winner for me.

Yoghurt-Berry Snowflake Ice 3/5

For those that does not really have a sweet tooth and prefer something sour, the Yoghurt-Berry Snowflake Ice ($9.90) will be your choice. The healthy yoghurt shaved ice is covered with fresh bananas, strawberries, blueberries and topped with a tangy mulberry sauce.

The seating capacity at Smoothie House is actually quite small. If you do not want to join the long queue, I do quite like the idea of the handy takeaway container for the snowflake ice dessert.

For the opening special on 6th, 7th and 8th May 2016. Customers can savour a free healthy size Mango Snowflake Ice with every purchase of a sharing size snowflake ice.

On Mother's Day 8th May 2016, the first 10 customers at every hour can relish a sharing size Mango Snowflake Ice at only $2 when they bring along a parent.
