Meaning 'chicken' in colloquial Japanese, yakitori bar CHIKINN presents Szechuan-influenced izakaya dishes and cocktails. “I have always loved the ease of Yakitori as a dinner choice, and I admire the skill it takes to deliver good Yakitori,” says Tay Eu-Yen of CHIKIN. “On my trips to Chengdu, I fell in love with the taste of Szechuan peppercorn on skewers.” The Szechuan Yakitori menu carries 13 parts of the chicken including: thigh, wing, heart, gizzard, tail, windpipe, skin, and cartilage, with other kushiyaki options. For drinks, try Dozo Mango, a light sake and gin infusion with tropical hints of mango and pineapple, or Sumoki Raisin, a mix of whisky, sherry, raisins, and smoked wood chips. The bar also carries Asahi Super Dry & Super Dry Black on tap.
