Grain Bowls

Some things are just not worth clogging your arteries for. Take Sideway’s 𝙍𝙞𝙗𝙚𝙮𝙚 𝙎𝙖𝙡𝙖𝙙 𝘽𝙤𝙬𝙡 (~$22) for example. I could literally FEEL fatty deposits in my arteries every mouthful I took, which was probably why I stopped at 1/5 the bowl. I’m serious, even every grain of rice was oily.

The eggplant that came with it was reeked of an acidic/sour mouthfeel, and though they were generous with the bowl portion, I’d much rather have something worth the calories.

t’s hard to get salmon done well — cooked enough that it retains its oil, but not too much that it becomes dry and flaky. Atlas’ 𝙎𝙖𝙡𝙢𝙤𝙣 𝙎𝙤𝙗𝙖 𝘽𝙤𝙬𝙡 (~$18) achieved that feat. Together with chewy soy shimeji mushrooms and heaps of furikake on an egg, I don’t think there’s a pairing Atlas doesn’t get right. -

You know when food serves its purpose to fill your stomach but isn’t fantastically great? Felt that in the case for the Steak Grain Bowl (~$14), which I enjoyed —kinda. The brown rice was a tad too hard, and the steak a little too under seasoned. But what made up for this was the crunchy and slightly oily crispy kale, and my fAVOURITE breadstick. Please give me a box of these breadsticks forever 😛👍🏻

I love the 𝙎𝙡𝙞𝙘𝙚𝙙 𝙗𝙚𝙚𝙛 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙏𝙧𝙪𝙛𝙛𝙡𝙚 (~$23), which ticked all the right boxes: Sous vide egg that ACTUALLY was done properly, beef seasoned and slightly charred at the sides, and perhaps the best thing of all: beef rice ratio of 2:1.
