HolySmoke BBQ in Toa Payoh has DIY seafood BBQ

Charcoal seafood barbecue doesn’t come cheap, so we were stoked to come across HolySmoke BBQ, a hidden gem in the Toa Payoh Industrial Park. This new kid on the TPY block offers charcoal BBQ with an assortment of toppings, from fresh seafood to meat skewers.

There’s also a 4 Pax ($108.50) set that includes one seabass in Thai or Spicy Herbs flavour.
