DOCO (International Plaza)

Nothing fantastic about DOCO but I like their beef and chicken don. Love the portion of the meal.
If you want to get your lunch fix ASAP, come and grab Doco's don.

📝 honey miso chicken thigh, crispy fish skin, short-grain rice, onsen egg⠀⠀⠀
~$16.90~⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Bought this 1-for-1 voucher during Chope’s birthday so is actually $8.45 per pax!! The store itself is really small, with only 6 seats so when I arrived (at lunch hour, no less 🤭) there was already a queue and I could not get any seats but I was able to seat at the establishment located beside it selling Korean stews (which actl looks 🤤)⠀⠀⠀
Anyway, I had to wait ~15-20min for the food and when it first came, the plating made the donburi look so appetising but I was doubtful of the portion. However my concerns were for naught. I couldn’t even finish the entire thing OMG it was sneakily so filling!! ⠀⠀
The donburi was intriguing— juicy and succulent chicken thighs smothered in honey miso sauce accompanied with a side of lightly spiced crispy fish skin (!) and topped with a perfect onsen egg on a generous serving of fluffy short-grain rice with some seaweed furikake. The chicken was amazing— every bite of the succulent thigh exploded with sweet and umami (thanks to the miso) notes which paired really well with the grassy, earthy seaweed rice. However, the crispy fish skin— even though amazing on its own— completely overwhelmed the entire dish and I could only taste the Cajun seasoning. If only it was less dominant, it would’ve been perfect. It’s crunchy and umami, providing a spectacular textural contrast to the creamy rice (cuz I mixed the onsen egg in hehe). ⠀⠀⠀
Honestly, even though it was not bad, I can’t justify paying $16.90 for this especially when my tastebuds got overwhelmed by the Cajun fish skin (the dealbreaker). However, if there was another BOGO (buy one get one) promotion, I would definitely visit again.⠀⠀⠀
⠀
*EDIT: okay I found out the dish is actually $9.90 instead which I feel is not bad esp arnd the CBD area!!⠀

Place can only sit up to 6 dining pax. Only one lady was serving so there's waiting time. They ran out of rice so we topped up $1 for brown rice. I love the onsen egg, beef was well seasoned but prawns not as flavourful. Will be nice if they give choices for the flavours of the fish skin. Nice songs playing in store 😊

Burpple beyond set comes with miso soup and canned drink. The portion was very filling. They used fresh prawns instead of frozen prawns. Can taste the tinge of garlic. The fish skins was very crispy. It compliments with the rice.

Got this one-for-one burpple beyond deal @ $16.90. It comes with a soup and drink! The fish sprinkles are really good as it provides a crunch and different texture while eating. Take note that the beef has quite a bit of fats. Overall, very satisfying meal (if you have the one for one deal)!

A pleasant surprise - was a random decision to walk into Doco to get a try of their famous donburi. The lady was recommended beef and chicken for 1st trial. And when the food comes, was surprised with combi of fried fish skins. Yummy 😋
