Editor’s Note

Last updated 30 May 2026

Our take on R&B Express, a Michelin Bib Gourmand recipient at Newton Food Centre, is that it's a solid choice for classic hawker BBQ.

We see consistent praise for their chicken wings, described as 'sticky, lacquered' with a good char, and their satay sticks, noted for being well-marinated with a distinct char flavour.

The accompanying peanut sauce is frequently highlighted as a strong point, carrying much of the flavour for the satay.

However, some feedback suggests the satay can be a bit dry or overly sweet, and the chicken wings occasionally too charred in spots.

The lime and chilli dipping sauce for the wings also receives mixed reviews, with some finding it below par compared to the wings themselves.

Despite these minor criticisms, the overall sentiment points to a quick and satisfying experience, especially for those looking for a quintessential Singaporean hawker meal.

We think it's a reliable option for a casual dinner with friends, particularly if you're in the Newton area and craving BBQ.

What customers say

R&B Express at Newton Food Centre is praised for its well-marinated satay sticks with a good char and beautifully seasoned, sticky chicken wings, often accompanied by generous peanut and chili sauces.

While many find the food excellent and service quick, some customers note that the satay can be dry or too sweet, and chicken wings occasionally over-charred.

The dipping sauce for the wings is sometimes considered underwhelming, and some feel the meat seasoning could be improved, relying heavily on the accompanying sauces for flavor.

Every second stand sells chicken wings and satay sticks. These ones are excellent. The reason for only four stars is the dipping sauce for the wings. It's below the standard of the rest of their offer…
