One of the perks and burps of following Burpple is tracking down delicious food places, especially a hidden gem like Bincho.
It is hidden, quite literally. While the entrance is actually at the back facing the car park, Bincho is accessible by walking in through Hua Bee Restaurant.
Now that Bincho makes its lunch menu (comprises of wallet-friendly set meals) available during dinner exclusively on Sundays, I have more excuses to indulge in a good meal before going back to work the next day. 😜 Each set comes with an appetizer, salad, karaage, soup, pickled vegetables and dessert.
Bincho prides itself in yakitori (grilled chicken) so there was no excuse not to try its signature Yakitori Don Set. Having read the review from @veronicaphua, we decided to get Beef Tongue Don Set as well. 😙
The appetizer, Salmon with Mayonnaise and Salmon Roe, melted in our mouths and they tasted exquisitely delicious. We loved the Fried Chicken Skin Salad because of the crunchiness without the greasy aftertaste. 😋 Well, the Fried Chicken Drumlets were finger-licking tasty, so savory and thickly coated with sauce that they stole the limelight from the mains. The chicken soup was a simple warm comforting broth and it had rice crackers which we really enjoyed.
Here comes the main highlights... The grilled chicken in the Yakitori Don was aromatic with its slightly charred and crispy skin, moist and firm meat. On another hand, the Beef Tongue was tender and oishii~~ with a balanced natural sweetness and savory taste from its marinate sauce. 😍 We also enjoyed the grilled vegetables that Chef Asai spent much time grilling. It was definitely a great dining experience without leaving a hole in my wallet. This rewards repeat visits to Bincho! 👍
