1. Grilling Equipment

Having a good set of grilling equipment is essential in making sure you have all the right tools needed to fire up your favourite dishes without any hassle!

A basic checklist would include stainless steel tongs, spatula, basting brush, grill gloves and aluminium foil. Up your BBQ game with stir-fried dishes Teppanyaki style or grill delicate fish and meats with the    O’Plancha Griddle & Lid from Mastrad (now $158.80, usual $226.90) What’s more, check out our red hot sizzling deals this August with up to 54% OFF all your BBQ-Must Haves!

Cool it off with a nice summer sangria while feasting on those lightly charred Wagyu steaks!

Here are 20 delicious big batch cocktail recipes from wide open eats you can make and bring to the BBQ to impress your friends.

Don’t forget, presentation is key as well! Get a 2.5 Gallon Glass Beverage Dispenser from Tablecraft (now $62.60, usual $78.30) and serve up your delicious cocktails in style.

3. Condiments & Spices

Don’t forget to pump up the flavours of your BBQ with condiments, spices and sauces for that extra OOMPH! Remember, it’s the small things that make your food taste a lot better!

Aside from the standard ketchup, mustard and sauces, we find having a good Sambal Belachan mix really turns up the heat – especially for those that love spicy!

Love to spice things up even more? Head down to our stores and check out our full range of McCormick Spices that are essential for any BBQs. Add them to your spice rubs, poultry or even vegetables and be sure to taste the difference.

4. The Menu

The highlight of any BBQ party is its menu! From age-old staples to exotic new recipes, the freedom of customising what you want to cook is part of the fun!

Here are 5 recipes from us that can show off your culinary prowess and let you grill astoundingly delicious dishes for your friends and family to feast upon!

5. Table Setting

Finally, the place where the feasting takes place! For tableware, you’ll definitely need disposable wares for easy clean-up. Go Green with ToTT and get our earth-friendly disposable tableware from B-Fooding.  Made from FSC-Certified sustainable Birchwood and 100-percent Biodegradable material – at 20% OFF thanks to our BBQ Month sale.

Need a way to keep your drinks cool? Use Magisso’s Terracotta Tableware, made of naturally cooling ceramic, allowing you to keep contents cool for up to four hours by simply soaking the tableware for a minute or two!

Makan Local! 7 Recipes to Celebrate Local Cuisine





It’s the month of July – which means it’s time to celebrate local cuisine! Delicious hawker favourites are what define Singapore’s local food scene. If you’re thinking of trying your hands at some hot favourites (think Cereal Butter Prawns, Oyster Omelette and more!), we’ve got the most straightforward and delicious recipes to get you started! Ready, set, makan!



1. No Bake Onde Onde Cheese Cake

We love our kueh kuehs and more often than not, they are best enjoyed in its purest, traditional form that always has us reminiscing of our childhood days. But if you’re looking for a modern, delicious twist (and also much easier to prepare than traditional kuehs!), we’ve got the answer for you! Creamy, fragrant and light, this No Bake Onde Onde Cheesecake is a cinch to prepare and satisfies two dessert cravings in one! 😉

Recommended Bakeware: Jamie Oliver Non-Stick Mini Cake Tins





2. Black Pepper Crab

Ask any Singaporean and you will learn that the best way to prepare a crab is probably to cook it black pepper style or chili style! This easy recipe by Chef Michele Ow teaches you how to prepare this well-loved local dish in six simple steps. A definite must-have at your next dinner party!

Recommended Cooking Tool: Zyliss Seafood Cracker Tool





3. Cereal Butter Prawns

Cereal Butter Prawns – fresh, juicy prawns deep fried with a delicious coating of eggs, mixed with curry leaves and a touch of chili padi before tossing with delicious cereal! This hawker favourite is a must-have when ordering Zi Char dishes in Singapore. It’s easier to prepare than you think! Try this recipe and you’ll find out why it’s a perennial favourite amongst locals!

Recommended Kitchenware: Jamie Oliver Terracotta Medium Bowl, Epicurean Wood Fibre Spoon





4. Poached Chicken (For Chicken Rice)

Arguably one of Singapore’s ‘national dish’, the humble Chicken Rice can be found at almost every dining spot, from nondescript hawker centres to high-end restaurants. Consisting of succulent steamed white chicken cut into bite-size pieces and served on fragrant rice with some light soy sauce and garlic-chili dip on the side, this is a dish that spells comfort for many locals!

Recommended Cookware: Zebra Stainless Steel Sauce Pot w/ Lid, 24cm





5. Fried Oyster Omelette

Another hawker favourite in Singapore, Fried Oyster Omelette (Orh Jian) is cooked with simple ingredients such as eggs and starch, topped with ocean-fresh, juicy oysters. Definitely a sinfully yummy indulgence! If you’re anything like us, make an extra batch of batter! The crispy, gooey bits might be the best part of this dish when dipped with the tangy chili sauce!

Recommended Cookware: Lacor Robust Non-Stick Frying Pan, 24cm





6. Fried Five Spice Pork Rolls (Ngoh Hiang)

Fried Five Spice Pork Rolls (Ngoh Hiang) are great as an entrée or appetiser as well as a potluck dish for parties! They’re also a traditional dish for many Chinese households during the Lunar New Year celebrations. It’s meaty, moist yet crunchy and sweet, thanks to the various vegetables used – all rolled up in a crispy, delicious beancurd skin! One of the best part about making your own Ngoh Hiang (besides eating it)? Getting to decide what goes into the filling! 😉
