PALILLOS YAKITORI

23, Jalan Mesui, Bukit Bintang, 50200 Kuala Lumpur TEL: 016 472 3635 facebook.com/palillosyakitoribar

This Jalan Mesui bar has an impressive yakitori selection, with Iberico pork being the main star. But there are also plenty of other meat and seafood options. The Iberico pork belly, the chicken thigh with leek and the mentaiko are highly recommended. The New Zealand lamb chop was flavourful and tender. The a la carte menu has a wider range, the standouts being the Mizuna salad and the

Prawn maki. It’s hard to enjoy yakitori without the right “refreshments”, so there is a nice range of wines from different regions, and a good selection of sake and other liquors.
