It did its job.
Moist and spicy. Quite enjoyable.
Lamb, pork, broccoli, potato. The meats were okay this time, but shout-out for the chicken, which I didn't photograph, but which was one of the best chicken skewers I've had. The potato slices were soft not crispy.
We enjoyed the Grilled Scallop In Half Shell (SGD $9.80 for 2 pieces, minimum 2 pieces). These have medium-sized, fresh bouncy scallops, garnished with crisp parsley, dressed in a thick house gravy.
.
Carries lovely smoky savoury salty sweet spice herbal flavours.
.
The Grilled Smelt Fish (SGD $4.20 for 3 skewers, minimum 3 skewers) is decent at best, but probably among the most wallet-friendly skewers here.
.
The smelt fish with roe, also known as shishamo, have been grilled till crisp, crackling gently when bit, releasing robust smoky fishy salty savoury flavour, nicely enticing.
.
The Grilled Squid (SGD $3 for 2 skewers, minimum 2 skewers) features bouncy slippery chunks of fresh squid.
.
Mostly neutral in taste, the primary flavour profile of smoky savoury salty spice is derived from the seasoning. I enjoyed these.
.
The Grilled Cuttlefish Ball (SGD $2.80 for 1 skewer, pictured 2 skewers for SGD $5.60) features cuttlefish squid balls, halved and seasoned.
.
While it has a bouncy soft texture, I prefer it to be more springy and dense instead. Carries nice smoky savoury salty spice sweet flavour.

The Grilled Pork Belly (SGD $2.80 for 2 skewers, pictured 3 skewers for SGD $4.20) is done Chinese chuan chuan barbecue style, and has chunks of crunchy chewy pork belly, marinated in a house spice mix.
.
This results in each bite having a lovely smoky meaty savoury spice flavour.
.
The Grilled Beef Flank (SGD $2.80 for 2 skewers, pictured 3 skewers for SGD $4.20) is done Chinese chuan chuan barbecue style
.
It has chunks of spiced beef flank, tender and chewy with robust smoky meaty spice salty savoury flavour. Nicely done.
.
Loved the Grilled Chicken Thigh (SGD $2.60 for 2 skewers, pictured 3 skewers for SGD $3.90), which is done Chinese chuan chuan barbecue style
.
Has chunks of boneless chicken thigh, juicy and tender with pleasant smoky sweet savoury spice flavour. Rather addictive, kept reaching for more.
.
Compared to elsewhere, the Grilled Lamb Leg (SGD $2.80 for 2 skewers, pictured 3 skewers for SGD $4.20) has a good ratio of fat to lean meat, with the lamb leg having a decent springy chew to texture.
.
The seasoning tends to be less punchy than elsewhere, a tad above mild, with smoky meaty savoury salty flavours. That said, it's less addictive than other renditions elsewhere.

The Grilled Leek (SGD $3.20 for 1 skewer, pictured 2 skewers for SGD $6.40) has fresh crunchy leeks, served in a generous portion.
.
Long and silky, these aren't easy to bite through, requiring effort to chew. With lovely smoky vegetal sweet flavour, this makes for a healthy choice.
.
Was taken with the Grilled Celtuce (SGD $1.20 for 1 skewer, pictured 2 skewers for SGD $2.40), which has 4 leaves of fresh crisp crunchy celtuce, also known as Chinese cabbage, on each skewer.
.
Large and leafy, these held lovely smoky vegetal sweet spice flavour, excellent.
.
The Grilled Shiitake Mushroom (SGD $1.30 for 1 skewer, pictured 2 skewers for SGD $2.60) has nicely grilled whole shiitake mushrooms, not too dry, with a slight bouncy tender chew to texture.
.
Bite in and you get a pleasant smoky vegetal earthy savoury flavour.
.
Loved the Grilled Pineapple (SGD $1.20 for 1 skewer, pictured 2 skewers for SGD $2.40), which has warm juicy pineapple chunks, gently grilled.
.
Each bite bursts with bold smoky fruity sweet flavour, yum.
