If there’s one National Day special you ought to check out this week, make it Binary. The modern gastro bar is called such because of the duality of their Asian and Western offerings. It is tucked away at the heart of Orchard Road and their team has created a special menu just for the occasion.
Chicken wings served with house-made sambal tumis, seafood laksa pasta, jumbo chicken satay – whilst not particularly Instagram-worthy, definitely scores high on our chart for execution and wholesome flavours.
Plus, if there’s one thing Singaporeans love, it is a good deal. Seeing as Binary’s set comes with not just food, but house-styled “Milo-tini” cocktails for two, we’d say it’s definitely bang for your buck.
