-The Review-

I chanced upon this salad bar when I was grocery shopping at Marks & Spencer (Wheelock Place). It is right at the exit near the Kids’ section, and I was pleasantly surprised by how good this salad bar was.

Only salad shop that brines their chicken breast

This was my first experience with brined chicken breast at a salad bar, and I was genuinely impressed! Brining keeps the meat moist and tender, giving it a unique “Q” texture. After trying many similar-tasting chicken breasts from salad bars around Singapore, this one definitely stood out.

Their sides were also very well made.

The pickled cucumber had a homemade taste, thinly sliced and brined in white vinegar. It offered a refreshing contrast to the typical pickled gherkins found in many other places. The broccoli was perfectly cooked, and the sweet potato mash was smooth without being grainy, with some larger pieces of sweet potato adding a nice variety in texture.
