Established in 1996, Binalot has consistently delighted food enthusiasts with their creative take on traditional Filipino dishes, wrapped in a convenient, eco-friendly banana leaf packaging.
Now, in 2023, Binalot is once again making waves in the culinary scene with the introduction of two exciting new additions to their menu: the mouthwatering Chicken Binakol and the irresistible Crispy Kangkong. These dishes not only pay homage to the rich tapestry of Filipino flavors but also cater to a diverse range of palates and preferences.
Chicken Binakol: A Taste of Tropical Paradise
Price: Php 199
Imagine being transported to a tropical paradise with every bite. Binalot’s Chicken Binakol promises just that—a culinary journey through the lush landscapes of the Philippines. Binakol, a traditional Filipino soup from the Visayan region, is known for its heartwarming combination of chicken, coconut water, and an assortment of local vegetables. Binalot has skillfully reimagined this classic recipe, infusing it with their unique twist.
The Chicken Binakol at Binalot is a celebration of flavors. Tender chicken pieces are simmered to perfection in fresh coconut water, creating a broth that’s both rich and refreshing. This delightful concoction is then infused with the fragrant essence of lemongrass and ginger, imparting a tantalizing aroma that will leave your taste buds tingling with anticipation.
But that’s not all. Binalot’s Chicken Binakol is a feast for the eyes as well. Served in an eco-friendly banana leaf wrap, it embodies the company’s commitment to sustainability while adding an authentic touch to your dining experience. The vibrant colors of the dish, coupled with the natural presentation, make it a visually appealing treat that’s perfect for foodies and Instagram enthusiasts alike.
Crispy Kangkong: A Crispy Delight for All
