If you’re in the mood for a spread of grilled sausages, steaks and all the trimmings, we’ve done the hunting and gathering for you. Bookmark our guide to the best Western-style butchers in Singapore!
Yes, we love a good barbecue. Whether it’s Southern-style with some grits, cornbread, collard greens and pulled pork with a tangy barbecue and hot sauce, or a simple sausage sizzle, we’re mad for meat! And let’s face it, as much as we love the Little Red Dot for being a food haven, it’s still hard to find the real deal when it comes to a beautiful barbecue (though several of our favourite restaurants have come pretty close!).
But fret not, meat lovers: we’ve found the best butchers in Singapore who can make your at-home meaty feast a roaring success. Especially with Thanksgiving and Christmas on the horizon! Even better, most of our favourite butchers in Singapore do home deliveries, so all you have to do is break out your barbecue or piping hot oven!
