Young Brand, Big Dreams, and a Whole Lot of Passion for Great BBQ
If you’re hunting for the “best BBQ caterer” or “best BBQ package” in Singapore, you’re probably doing some detective work. How long have they been around? Are they legit? Why do they have so many reviews so fast? We get it—if we were you, we’d wonder the same things.
Guess what? Our company is still under a year old. Shocking, right? And we’ve racked up more five-star Google reviews than some brands that’ve been around for ages. “Scam?” you might ask. “They’re probably too new to be good.” Hey, we’d think that too. But before you dismiss us, allow us to share our side of the story—why we’re so invested in this, what drives us, and how we manage to serve up such a wide variety of tasty marinated meats and seafood.
1. The Singapore BBQ Scene We Grew Up With
Many of us remember the old-school BBQ catering days: the very affordable sets that came with standard chicken wings, satay, and maybe some hot dogs. It was nostalgic and did the trick—but let’s be honest, as we got older and our palates changed, we started craving more than just the basics.
That’s where Shiok BBQ steps in. We wanted to bring something fresh to the table—a premium yet approachable BBQ experience that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. We’re talking about carefully researched marinades, better cuts of meat, and yes, even tackling the ever-challenging seafood options (check out our BBQ Marinated Seafood: A Practical Guide if you’re curious how we pull that off).
2. A One-Year-Old Brand Claiming It’s “The Best”? Say What?
We know, it sounds suspicious. But here’s the deal: while our brand’s paperwork might say we’re under a year old, our team’s been at this for years behind the scenes. Long nights in the kitchen, repeated taste tests until we can’t stand another bite, and massive investment in R&D (which, trust us, is NOT cheap).
So yes, we’re “new” on paper, but we’re basically like that kid who’s been studying since Primary 1, finally stepping into the big stage. Along the way, we wrote a few other posts to give you an inside look at who we are:

3. Quality Doesn’t Mean Overpriced
“Premium” often screams “expensive.” We get that. But our approach is more about smart sourcing, efficient operations, and a little elbow grease in the kitchen. Instead of sticking to a handful of basic marinades, we go big—experimenting with flavors and even collaborating with chef friends to fine-tune our recipes. We break down our process in What Makes SHIOK BBQ Different: Quality You Can Taste in Every Bite.
If you ask us, that’s how we’re able to deliver a better product without slapping on a crazy price tag. We’d rather see you enjoy a spread of carefully marinated meats, succulent seafood, and mouthwatering sides than serve up something “meh” just to save a few bucks on our end.
4. Our Biggest Secret: We Genuinely Love Doing This
Sure, we dream big. But we’re not obsessed with “scaling up” to become a soulless mega-corporation. A lot of us are 90s and 00s kids (yes, we still say “Shiok!” unironically). That means our vision of success is more about being proud of the food we serve, rather than chasing an IPO.

5. A Brand-New Brand? Yes, But…
We know you might still be skeptical. Maybe you’re used to established names with long histories. But guess what? Sometimes a fresh perspective can be a game-changer. We’re seeing more and more customers who want more than just “the usual.” They want variety, they want a personal touch—and we’re all about that. If you’re ready to try something new, we’d love to show you what we’ve got.
Worried about whether our team can handle a problem if something goes wrong? We’ve got that covered in How Shiok BBQ Ensures Service Recovery When Things Go Wrong. Let’s just say we don’t believe in letting you down when the unexpected happens.
6. Give Us a Shot, We Won’t Let You Regret It
We genuinely appreciate every single person who trusts us for their big events—birthdays, weddings, corporate get-togethers, you name it. At the end of the day, we’re not about fancy marketing gimmicks. We’re about creating a BBQ experience you’ll remember fondly (and hopefully rave about to your friends).
Whether it’s a chill family gathering or a full-blown corporate shindig, we’ll do our best to make sure your BBQ is as shiok as it gets.
So, are we the Best BBQ Caterer in Singapore?
We think we might be on our way—but that’s for you to decide after tasting our food. We hope you’ll at least give us a chance to prove ourselves. After all, we’re young, we’re enthusiastic, and we’re putting our heart and soul into redefining BBQ catering—one marinated cut at a time.
Let’s make your next BBQ memorable. We can’t wait to fire up the grill with you!
