Salmon salard- small box Salmon salard- small box SGD 13.5

Small Human Size ($9.50+1) It’s been years since I last came to The Salad Shop and wow, it has changed so much! They now offer bowls in three sizes with both cold and warm toppings and enormous portion sizes. This was the smallest size and it gave me a massive food coma afterwards. I liked the curried cauliflower and the brussel sprouts. The egg white with spinach was a little bland but very healthy. Chicken breast was not the best, but it’s ok. Skip the broccoli rice base though, it’s an extra $1 and it comes in cubes of broccoli stem only which was honestly rather difficult to chew.

Small Human Size ($9.50) Can never rave enough about how wholesome this salad meal can be — #foodcoma is real after struggling to finish my bowl! ($9.50) - 1 base + 3 cold/warm feeds + 1/2 protein + 1 topping + 1 dressing mega love!!!

Big Breakfast You can never go wrong with this! 🤤

Always reliable for honest, good, quality grain bowls. I dare say it’s been a couple of years since I last stepped into GT. The menu’s changed (no more salad base omg), there’re now more unfamiliar faces, and even the vibe feels oddly different; but one thing’s for sure — the food’s still as solid as ever. I fell back on their quinoa given that the greens are now gone, and I’m pleased to say it’s as tasty as I remember them to be when they first opened their doors. The Sous-vide Salmon’s still fork tender and beautifully charred on the outside (if smaller than I recall haha); Roast Chicken’s as juicy and well-seasoned; and really all my favourites that they still carry remain as delicious. Sure there are plenty of other grain bowl options around right now and yes GT isn’t exactly the cheapest. Perhaps it’s nostalgia, as well as the fact that I know I’d always leave the restaurant mega satisfied, that cements GT as among my fave grain bowl spots. Ever. Besides they now carry Mate Mate and I swear there’s no better way to end the meal than with a can of this refreshing sparkling tea 🥰

Atypical Grain Bowls @ $16+ Being in the heart of the financial district, the rustic-themed Grain Traders is a really nice place to people-watch during lunchtime (that is, if you can beat the office crowd to get a window seat). Get your money's worth by choosing the more exotic options; here is crusted tuna tataki (+$1.50), ratatouille, mixed bean salad, curried veg and sunflower seeds atop barley risotto, diviiiine.

Wanton Soup The soup was savoury with a tad of herby and peppery notes, plus sweetness from wolfberries, making it more complex than a typical clear soup. The wantons were big, umami, meaty, and wrapped in slippery smooth skin. Overall, a good bowl, but be ready to brave the queue to get one.

Ji Ji Signature Char Siew Wanton Noodle (Dry)(S)($4.50) A small bowl consisting of thin noodles, char siew, bok choy, pork lard, and a savoury soup with two wantons. If you go for the $5.50 bowl, you get more toppings like crispy deep‑fried wanton, but I was good with just a simple bowl. The noodles need to be mixed before eating so every strand is coated with the savoury light and dark sauce and pork lard oil. Texture was chewy, leaving a greasy mouthfeel from slurping since the noodles were well‑coated. Char siew was tender, caramelised sweet, and generous in portion, with a flavour slightly different from the standard char siew taste. Loved the glistening crunchy pork lard for added fragrance and crunch. . 🚩Ji Ji Wanton Noodle Specialist, 531A Upper Cross St, 02-48/49 Hong Lim Market & Food Centre, Singapore 051531 . . . #云吞面 #基记特制面 #基记招牌叉烧云吞面 #jijinoodlebowl #基记面家 #JiJiSignatureCharSiewWantonNoodle #jijiwantonnoodle #wantonmee #wantonnoodle #jijiwanton #sghawkerculture #hawkerfood #honglimmarketandfoodcentre #mehmehfoodventure #mehlicious #tastisfying #foodie #sgfoodie #sgfoodblogger #foodblogger #foodblog #foodcoma #burpple #burpplesg #sgfood #foodsg #eatmoresg #foodinsing #sgeats

Mala tang Small spicy Ckn 2.5, beancurd skin 1.2 both had this tender bite. Quite unique and pretty good Beef 3nett was a tad tough, still ok Kangkong 1.2nett was soft and well cooked Kelp 1.2nett was alright The soup Base is very authentic and Small spicy is just spicy enough, a very good version. The only down Side is that it's takeaway only, and currently the hawker centre is under reno so nowhere to eat. Portions are generous and thus the price, this was 13.1nett with rice and i didnt manage to finish, only finished about 80% Also the cashier was very handsome, an oppa kind of handsome

Mala Soup 麻辣烫 I knew I had to try the mala soup from 老成都麻辣烫, a takeaway food stall (#01-K99G) outside People’s Park Complex, when I saw it in a recent vlog by #聪生家 because it simply calls out to my soul😂 I ordered a variety of ingredients for 2-3 pax and it costs $16, which is quite reasonable given the generous portion. I opted for the lowest level of spiciness (小辣) and the soup hits all the right notes for me - it is robust, spicy and numbing without throwing me off. The aftertaste can be a little salty, but the flavours made up for it. The ingredients are fresh and I thought the prawn balls and tofu (not sure why but it’s quite Q!) are better than the usual ones I have. This is my first time venturing beyond my usual 麻辣香锅 to try a soup version of it and I really enjoyed it. Definitely can see myself ordering this again on a rainy day!

凉拌 Liang Ban [Price Varies] Have been coming back several times to takeaway this newest obsession of ours 😂 Still haven’t tried their meats, but definitely get their crunchy lotus slices, beancurd and cold skin noodles. It can get a bit oily depending on who’s doing the mix that day, but just let them know if you want less.

Matcha Lava Waffles ($9) Topped with a scoop of Apricot Honey Yoghurt ice-cream . Overall, the Apricot Honey Yoghurt flavour was creamy and matched perfectly with the earthy bitterness of the matcha ganache

Dirty Matcha Oatside x KOOKS Creamery . A harmonious medley of flavours made with Uji matcha, espresso and a creamy OATSIDE Barista Blend

Chocolate Lava Cookie with Pistachio Ice Cream I'm angry at myself that this lures me back despite the smaller cookie. Hahaha.

10/10 waffles - cereal milk gelato with half charcoal waffles ($10) ok i haven’t had many waffles with ice cream admittedly but i absolutely LOVED these. the gelato was soooo sweet (in a good way, maybe bc i’m a sweet tooth) and was basically a concentrate version of leftover cereal milk. A++ for texture too bc it was siiilky smooth and didn’t melt super fast. charcoal waffles didn’t taste like charcoal (probably a good thing idk), and retained its airy, crispy personality even when the gelato started melting and seeped into the waffles. wafer on top was q good but not the main focus lol would come back when i pass by kap or sumn 💯

Cereal Milk Flavour Got the cereal milk flavour and it’s really nice! Ice cream is creamy and taste of good quality. Will be back to try more flavours and waffles too

mushroom pasta they don’t sell pastas anymore unfortunately but when they did, it slapped and it slapped hard

Pistachio ($6.50) I finally tried their best selling gelato after I have tried their Christmas gelato last 2 years ago? Pistachio was quite creamy, milky and nutty aftertaste.

Gelato Sweet tooth craving. Ice cream flavours from left to right >>> >>> >>> Strawberry Honey (Classic) Milk base with strawberry jam and honey. Smooth, sweet, and tarty, but the flavour is a tad light and doesn’t leave much of an impact. Cereal Milk (Classic) Milk gelato with cereal bits. Quite rich and milky, fitting its name, but the cereal bits are too fine to notice with a small scoop. A larger scoop is recommended to experience the tiny gritty texture of the cereal bits. Almond Apple Butter (Premium) Butter base with caramelised almond brittle and apple jam. My favourite among the flavours I tried. The sweet apple taste is rich and fruity, and the small almond brittle pieces add a great textural contrast that complements the flavour perfectly. Roasted Pistachio (Premium) Strong, nutty, and earthy pistachio-based gelato. Said to be their bestseller, it delivers on its promise of a robust, nutty, and earthy flavour. While good, it feels like something is missing, though it’s hard to pinpoint what exactly. Hmm... Calamansi Sour Plum Sorbet (Classic) Dopa’s take on a local favourite beverage. It captures the exact taste of the calamansi sour plum drink found in local coffee shops but in gelato form. When it melts, the texture resembles a Slurpee.

Kuri Ringo ($8.90) Layers of sponge cake and chunky apple bits topped chestnut cream. Honestly, didn't really like this The flavours didn't gel together well and the apples had this funky artificial taste. Chestnut seemed more like an afterthought rather than an integral part of the dessert. Come to Hvala for the matcha but not for the cakes as all the ones I've tried have been disappointing so far.

An-butter brioche ($13.90). We had initially wanted to share the dairy free waffles but since it was near to closing and they ran out of the waffles, we picked the an-butter brioche for sharing instead. An-butter, which is Japanese sweet red bean paste made from azuki beans (anko) blended with rich butter. It’s sweetness was just right to balance the umaminess of the matcha gelato, while the butter was pretty subtle. The brioche bun was, however, slightly dry. You could have a choice of the bun being served alongside a scoop of oatmilk or matcha°1 gelato.

Goma slice ($8.90), Hot Yuki premium grade matcha ($5.50). The consolation of missing a good cup of matcha from Japan is finding something similar from @hvala_sg. Boasting a velvety texture, Yuki, an everyday premium grade matcha delivers a harmonious balance of umami and natural sweetness. The mellow flavor profile encompasses a pleasant bitterness that is neither overpowering nor sharp with medium astringency. A suggested pairing would be the Goma Slice, where layers of goma (black sesame) sponge and cream imparted a rich, toasty note that danced on the palate. The sweetness of the cake was perfectly balanced, complementing the nutty essence without overwhelming it. Recommended for sharing.

[NEW] Waffled Putu Piring ($6) Collaboration with BEGE RACK . Aromatic pandan-infsued coconut ice cream meets waffled putu piring . A rich flavour of delicate rice cakes, caramelised gula melaka and grated coconut .

[NEW] Sesame Tang Yuan ($6) PREMIUM FLAVOUR . A contemporary take on the traditional Chinese dessert . Strong nutty presence of sesame and soft chewy glutinous rice balls with peanut filling

Creamier Had the Waffles with Matcha & Strawberry. Just like the Toa Payoh Outlet, it is still delicious but seems to have lesser variety to choose from. I would also say they could improve on by providing bigger plate if people wish to deconstruct the Waffles to eat much easier and providing bigger utensils.
