our story
The Humble Pit is a private dining located in the quiet estate of Kovan, focused on doing barbecue with Asian flavours. Started in late 2019 while home-cook, Eugene was in the middle of university.
Now, Eugene invites people to dine at his humble abode thrice a week while helping to run his family's business in engineering. Eugene is self-taught and all of his dishes are original and come by much trial and error before serving them. As barbecue can be on the heavy side, Eugene incorporates elements of acid and fermentation to most of his dishes to keep the menu as balanced as possible. As current operations are helmed only by Eugene, he might sometimes seem busy and running about, but feel free to approach Eugene, he's more than happy to speak to everyone about the food or life.
