At Binary, Asian and Western styles are presented in contrast to each other in a binary, resulting in a perfect yin-and-yang balance with innovative possibilities where the two meet. Here, guests may choose either an Asian or Western preparation style for the same produce, or have both styles on the same plate for a bold brunch experience.

Take for instance the Wagyu striploin, a tender cut of beef that can either be served with a classic red wine sauce or made with a sake miso marinade. The same goes for the snapper, which can be served as British beer-battered fish & chips, or as an Indonesian ikan bakar, which sees the snapper charcoal-grilled and slathered with a spicy marinade.
