This is one of their interesting mains that look simple but tastes amazing.⠀
When it was first brought out I could smell the tantalising scent of stir fried garlic 😍
Their fried rice is unlike the zichar or hawker centre fried rice where it can be oily. Having ikura in this dish also gives the fried rice a different texture.⠀
.
I really like the interior and chill vibes of this place. PLUS they play good music 😂😂😂
Not only do they serve mains, they have Szechuan Yakitoris (what they are known for) and also a range of drinks to pair with.

But in place of the usual burgers and fries, they served Yakitori instead. Not just any Yakitori, the ones here @chikinbar were served with a Szechuan Mala twist, smokey and juicy.
But what impressed me more were the Unagi fried rice with fish roe and the Salmon Cartilage, both of which went well with their spicy Yakitori. And did I mention that they served some good cocktails too? Featured here was the Izakaya Smash, a light Gin and Basil mix.
Thanks @makanwarrior for the invite and @chikinbar and @daintyx for having us.
@ChikinBar brings all the flavor from Szechuan spices with Japanese skewers over Binchotan flames, & this unexpected marriage of the two Asian disciplines kicks it up a notch from simplicity & creates an atmosphere of intimate fun to complete the dining experience. Some of the star skewers include:
.
Momo – Chicken Thigh ($3.50)
Tebasaki – Hot Joint Wings ($4.50)
Tsukune – Chikin Meatballs ($4.50)
San Marzani Tomatoes ($4)

On top of the bite-sized morsels of meat & vegetables, the menu also boasts a variety of Izakaya style dishes such as their 💖Unagi Garlic Fried Rice w/ Fish Roe ($16), Thinly-sliced Salmon Cartilage on Spicy Sauce ($10), Chikin Skin Chips ($12), & Tonkatsu Bites ($14).
.
Notably, the expansive drink list also features designer cocktails, sake by the bottle, beer on tap, Japanese whiskies and more. Or you can also get your bespoke cocktail crafted from award-winning bartender Sam Wong.

The three-story shophouse houses a neon lit long bar on the ground floor, restaurant setting on the second, and a private karaoke bar in the attic! Each corner is plastered with vibrant Japanese pop art themed murals. (Swipe to see more)

This is one excellent sake. It has a 35% polishing ratio, which means that 65% of the rice had been polished away. I really liked how smooth this is, and that floral fragrance coming from it.
🔸
And don't forget the yakitori, which was skewered using binchotan charcoal and Szechuan spices. They're really enjoyable over sake or their infused cocktails crafted by award winning bartender Sam Wong.

Imagine fried fish skin. But chicken. And Szechuan salt. Infused with smokiness. Great snack that you can just keep munching on and so crunchy.
(I was positive I took a picture of the beef tongue but it doesn't show up at all. )
Beef tongue 6nett per stick
Texture was still ok but I expected more especially since you can grill some bomb beef tongue yourself at some Japanese BBQ buffets lol. But for 6nett it's a tad expensive compared to the rest so my suggestion is to stick to their chicken skewers for a sure bet.
Otherwise the heart( a bouncier version of the thigh which I quite liked) and the cartilage (tried it for novelty and tbh I still prefer meat a lot more) were all not bad. I'm convinced everything is good when it goes with Szechuan spices. Which is really what they are trying to do here so congrats to them for succeeding magnificently
