For those whom have been lurking around social media for quite some time, the name Bueno Bueno might have come across rather familiar — these folks are a pretty new entry to the local F&B scene, having opened their very first location not to long ago within the National
University of Singapore’s campus within University Town (UTown). These folks do seem rather eager to expand their operations even though they are pretty fresh as a concept; they had since opened their second outlet at CIMB Plaza, taking over the former premises of the now-defunct Bar Pho there. Being an establishment notable of serving up Mexican fare, Bueno Bueno is known to serve up burritos, burrito bowls and tacos at their NUS UTown location; it was noted that the CIMB Plaza outlet only serves up a variety of burrito bowls during our visit, though there is an entire condiment bar that patrons can help themselves to to add on other elements to their burrito bowls at no extra charge. Bueno Bueno also serves up a couple of side dishes to complement their burrito bowl offerings as well for those whom wish to share something around the table.

Bueno Bueno does not describe the elements that comes with their burrito bowls; with that being said, our order of the Ancho-Grilled Pork Belly Burrito Bowl features the Spiced Butter Lime Couscous; a chargeable add-on of $2.90 on top of the base price of the burrito bowl (the default carb option here would be the Signature Rice). Apart from the Ancho-Grilled Pork Belly, the burrito bowl also does come with a side of Nachos and Salsa by default. Digging into the burrito bowl, the Spiced Butter Lime Couscous carries a savoury note with a slight hint of zing from the inclusion of lime; the Spiced Butter Lime Couscous carrying a refreshing hint of herbs that kept things pretty light and tasty — something which we could definitely go on and on with even on its own. The Ancho-Grilled Pork Belly came in a way featuring strips of pork that has been grilled to come with a slightly smoky note amidst the savouriness; each piece does come tender and juicy with a consistency similar to that of pork jowl — the inclusion of Salsa Verde adds a zippiness and a zing that cuts through the meatiness, while the pork does not come with any undesirable porky stench. The added salsa on the side adds a refreshing burst of flavours and a little bit of crunch with the use of diced tomatoes and onions, while the Nachos adds an element of crunch with notes of corn to the burrito bowl.
