The popularity of PUJIM BBQ among foodies and K-culture fans in Singapore has risen to legendary status that the waitlist for a table could take as long as 2 months. All hype? Absolutely not. PUJIM’s claim to fame is its lineup of signature meats: Premium A4 Wagyu, Iberico Bellota, and Duroc. If you think “melt in your mouth” is mere hyperbole, PUJIM’s meats will convince you otherwise.
Another thing that draws in the crowds? The swanky industrial vibe with neon pink detail is an absolute Insta material. The staff also goes the extra mile to ensure that customers have a satisfactory dining experience with simple things such as placing a slice of bread on the grill so that cooked meats stay warm without getting overcooked. That piece of bread tastes heavenly, by the way.
MUST-TRIES:
- PUJIM Shovel (consists of A4 Wagyu ribeye, prime Black Angus boneless short rib, Iberico Bellota pork collar and rib finger, and Duroc pork belly)
- Milmyeon
- Kimchi Jjim
- Yangpunyi Bibimbap
LOOK & FEEL: PUJIM BBQ has an upbeat, youthful vibe to it – a black “unfinished” industrial vibe with neon pink light fixtures that seem to have jumped straight out of the newest K-Pop music video.
