Finally, tried O.BBa KBBQ at their Chun Tin Road outlet (Bukit Timah). It's within 5 minutes walking distance from Beauty World MRT, so that's pretty convenient. Reservation is not available at this outlet, hence diners would have to appear at their doorstep, then key in your phone number at the queue kiosk (at the entrance) and wait for staff to call. One could also check queue status via whatsapp.
My bro and me went at about 1pm and were seated within 10 minutes. The shop was fairly busy even at late lunch hour.
Scan the QR code left by the staff at the table and order through that as well. The place has adequate staff, so no issue in getting your questions answered. Drinks were served immediately once order is placed and the BBQ set appeared within 5 minutes as well.

| Beef short rib, pork belly, traditionally marinated beef, marinated pork rib, sausage |
At first, I was slightly confused as to whether the staff will do the BBQ or are we supposed to do it ourselves as the staff was just standing at our table after bringing out the meats. Ahh, perhaps he was waiting for me to finish taking the photos? Hahaha!
 |
| let's start |
 |
| apple salad |
 |
| fishcake |
 |
| sliced sausages in tomato sauce |
 |
| kimchi |
While staff was busy grilling the meats, we busied ourselves with the side dishes. I liked the cold apple salad and the kimchi the most.
 |
| beef short ribs |
We loved the tender slices of short ribs. It's unmarinated hence, one could add dip it into the sesame oil salt mix, or make it into a wrap with whichever condiments that you like. Noticed that the shop don't provide raw garlic here.
 |
| grilled cheese |
Realised that the set also came with 2 squares of cheese which is also grilled. Interesting, and staff shared with us that this type of mozzarella cheese isn't too melty and hence, suitable for the grill. My first time trying a grilled cheese that isn't haloumi.
I was confused x2, when the staff suddenly dangled the already grilled cheese infront of me. So I quickly brought up my small plate to receive but he frowned. I was like thinking... what, what do you want me to do? Then he said "photo". Orhhhhh, he wanted me to take a photo of the grilled cheese.

For drinks, we tried the Chungha Sparkling which is like soju in sparkling form. A ladies drink, and it was sweet.

Staff kindly advised us to eat the steamed egg otherwise, the hotstone pot will continue to cook it due to its retained heat and the parts that are in contact with the pot surface, will likely get burnt.
This oppa staff at our table, do like to nag us a bit. Hahaha!

| tasty |

| grill all |
 |
| traditionally marinated beef |
I least liked the traditional marinated beef as it was mostly lean and became such small bits after cooking. The marinade was sweet and similar to teriyaki or bulgogi sauce.
Give me all the fattier cuts, anytime!
The set also came with selected stew or noodles. We chose jjajangmyeon because wanted to try their shop specialty.

The noodles portion could be main dish for 2 pax. We were so full after all the food. I think this set feeds 3 comfortably.
 |
| juicy pork ribs |
 |
| grilled white kimchi, onions, sausage, beef tendons (cut out from the beef shortribs earlier) |
The free sausage was pretty good. I think it is pork sausage and texture was bouncier than the banchan version.
Once you're done with the food, head on to the cashier to make payment. Our meal costs $133 in total for 2 pax.
On your way out, remember to take your complimentary small haagen daaz ice-cream to eat outside as staff said they are sorry, but the ice cream can't be eaten inside the shop. I guess this way is to free up the dining table for the next seating.

Overall, staff are friendly and efficient. Thank you to the oppa who helped us BBQ that afternoon.
