Its cute name comes with an equally cute backstory. Its founder Uncle Meow had a pet cat since he was a child. Enamored by their gentle and regal nature, particularly their exquisitely picky tastebuds when it comes to food, he named his first restaurant Meow Barbecue猫抓烤肉, paying homage to the admirable qualities of cats. Meow Barbecue continues on his life-long love for cats, serving up delicious food for even the most discerning gourmand and promising something for everyone. 

     

Meow Barbecue in Bugis+ marks the brand’s first overseas outpost outside of China, bringing the signature variety of BBQ items crafted in adorable cat elements. The cuteness of cat paws and motifs can also be found all around the restaurant from the front entrance to the crockery used and various decorative ornaments in and around the space.
