[CLOSED] Sprout Salad Bar

Located along Duxton Road, this beautiful space is great for catching up with your girlfriends over healthy eats. Get your green game on with the crowd-pleasing Truffled Portobello Salad ($15.90). The vegetarian salad sees slices of well-marinated, grilled portobello mushrooms, cherry tomatoes and Japanese cucumbers on a leafy bed of baby spinach. The bed of greens is tossed in a honey lemon dijon dressing and finished off with a drizzle of truffle oil. Portions are big and great for sharing amongst two small eaters. Apart from Salads (from $11.90), there are hearty Grain Bowls (from $16.90) and an option of customising your own salad (from $16). Pro tip: Sprout Salad Bar also serves good Coffee (from $3.50) and has multiple power points available, making it a conducive space for getting work done in the Duxton area.
Avg Price: $20 per person

You can't go wrong with portobello mushrooms in your salads. Love how generous they are with the ingredients and the super tasty honey lemon dijon dressing too!

Sprout Salad Bar is great for those looking for a conducive space to work outside of office — they've got great coffee to get you through the day and many available power points too!

I love the simple interior that incorporates the skylight to brighten up the salad bar, makes it quite conducive as a peaceful workspace.

The salad portion is huge, definitely enough for two appetites (or a very hungry one). The owner and servers here seem to harbour a lot of pride in their ingredients and presentation, as can be seen here with their beautifully-arranged assortment of ahi tuna, pineapple, avocado, and I changed the red onion to mango - excellent decision on my part haha. The popping traffic-light coloured bowl, however, pales in the presence of stronger players like Aloha Poke or A Poke Theory which allow more ingredients in a single serving. The price tag of almost $20 for “salad” is also a dubious factor, especially when I can get economical salad that’s less than $6 just 5 mins walk away in Tanjong Pagar Plaza. Guess it depends on whether you're in the mood for spending on quality and comfort.

Sprout Salad Bar's Beef & Broccoli Bowl comes with seared sirloin strips, soft-boiled egg and steamed vegetables tossed with a light soy, ginger and garlic sauce over a bed of quinoa. Definitely a cleaner and healthier version from the usual beef bowls that I have but I found it lacks a certain ‘oomph’. Perhaps a slightly heavier and richer sauce to complement would make the dish more vibrant.

Good vibes for the weekend. Generous portioned salad plus the option to self design your own.

One of the two bowl we ordered. Salmon and avocado served on a bed of buckwheat noodles and butter lettuce. Add in grilled pumpkin, edamame, Japanese cucumber, carrot, daikon and silken tofu which is tossed in a yummy soy ginger and sesame dressing.

Swapped the chicken for salmon. Hands down the best salad I have ever eaten. Everything tasted so good and the portion was so generous! Had to takeaway half of it because I was so full. Will be dreaming of this salad tonight 😻
