-The Review-

I am pleasantly surprised at how much I actually loved this salad bowl and am so happy to find a good quality salad bar that opens till late on the weekends.

Quality ingredients

The ingredients are of such good quality that their natural tastes are enough, without the need for any seasoning. For instance, this has got to be the sweetest tasting steamed pumpkin that I’ve had from a salad bar. I am definitely ordering the pumpkin again the next time I patronise this store.

Their broccoli looked unassuming because it appeared a little yellow (one hack that salad stores use is to boil broccoli with sugar so it maintains its bright green colour). Nonetheless this also means I can tell that Cafe Coldrea used fresh and not frozen broccoli which is so commendable. Moreover it is actually boiled just right, maintaining its crunch without it tasting raw. I am genuinely amazed at how well-made this simple dish was.

The Sous Vide Chicken is also cooked perfectly, maintaining its juiciness and natural sweet tastes. I again love that they didn’t have to overly season any of their ingredients because it is of such good quality.

The only ingredients that seem to come out of a can are the button mushrooms and the Tuna. Then again, these are typically canned ingredients and for how much preparation their other toppings seem to require I could easily let them off the hook for this one.

All that for just $9.90

The bowl is very well balanced, I had enough sides to taste a different texture with every bite of my greens. If anything I’d say they can consider giving less sauce because it is too much for one bowl (but they do have separate packaging for that should you require it and I kept my leftover sauce for the next meal). The bowl was about 450g including the sauce.

• 50g Romaine Lettuce
• 60g Mixed Greens
• 70g Sous Vide Chicken Breast
• 60g Broccoli
• 16g Shredded Beetroot
• 78g Pumpkin
• 45g Button Mushroom
• 70g Hot & Spicy Dressing
