'Love Handle Singapore' is a unique butcher shop opened out of '8ash,' a Singapore-based diner. Love Handle is a butcher of vegetarian meats only, meaning that it will be the first meat-free butcher shop in Asia. For its offering of plant-based meats, Love Handle has its own in-house vegetarian meat blends as well as various partnerships with world-renowned plant-based meat manufacturers.
Some of these partnerships include the Korea-based 'TiNDLE' and the now household name 'Impossible.' Just as a regular butcher would, Love Handle displays an array of its alternative meats behind a glass enclosure, allowing consumers to get a glimpse of the various plant-based offerings before ordering one. On top of simply supplying plant-based meats, Love Handle also prepares a variety of specially flavored mixes daily, such as marinates and bastes, which are served in a pan-ready form where consumers only need to heat up the food.
