Faced with a barrage of chirashi offerings, what's next for us jaded (blessed) foodies? Enter the poke (say po-kay) -- a same-same-but-different concept fast becoming the latest foodie fad in Singapore. Essentially a Hawaiian variant of marinated fresh fish salad, the pokes offered here include tuna and salmon (in original, spicy, and wasabi mayo flavours), plus a vegetarian option (tofu with nutty sesame). From three sizes priced $11.90 upwards, customise your very own poke bowl with choice ingredients ranging from tobiko and edamame to skin-loving ones like avocado, pomegranate and chia seeds.

Generously heaped with firm, smooth cubes of sashimi, this colourful medley was a delightful riot of sweet, savoury, and fruity flavours; just what's needed to perk up a humdrum workday.
