Salads aren't exactly my thing. I usually need a good meat or two and a WHOLE lotta sauce for a meal to satisfy. Luckily Bottle & Bones has all of those things and more! 😂
Get the crispy pork belly which truly lived up to its name and went really well with the pickled carrots. The dry chicken, on the other hand, might not get invited to the next party.
They've also got some pretty awesome sauces and toppings (truffle crumble, say whuuuut) that'll keep your lunch exciting! 😋
If it's noon and you're in Raffles Place, head to this air-conditioned space for a delicious salad. Located right at the exit of Raffles Place MRT Station, Bottles and Bones is both a sit-down restaurant and a grab-and-go spot that offers reasonably-priced salads. There is only one size available here ($14.90), which includes one main, one side, three toppings and a dressing. Prices are nett, proteins are unbelievably tasty and portions are generous, which explains why they usually sell out by 1pm. Go for their signature Crispy Pork Belly as your main (additional mains cost $2) with its very audible crackling skin and opt for the onsen egg, pickled carrots and the forest mushrooms as your toppings. Treat yourself to an additional topping ($1) and get the much raved about Truffle Crumble that adds just the right amount of crunch and flavour in your salad! Of the nine dressings available, standouts include the unique truffle and yuzu aioli, the flavourful baby spinach pesto and the creamy Cajun spiced mayo.
Avg Price: $20 per person

- #TRUFFLE CRUMBLE which was to-die-for. Not the most healthiest, but hey, it's Friday. TGIF!!! 🙌🏼🎉 #burpple #xuannyeatsclean
Their Mac and cheese is also quite good, with strong truffle taste and truffle crumbles sprinkled on top
1A (salad & starch) + 2B (protein, this changes daily) + 3C (condiment) +1D (dressing) = $16. Under A, I chose the brown rice, those coarse grains tasted very nutty and flavorful. For B, the options were roast meat, stewed meat, seafood & veggies. I chose seafood which was salmon for the day and veggies which turned out to be some cheesy cauliflower. Loved both the proteins, the salmon was so well cooked and the moisture was well retained in the flesh, packing in the flavor from the orange scented gravy. Cauliflower was a refreshing option and I've never had anything quite like that! For condiments, I got the mushrooms, boiled egg (ah yes boring I know) and the toragashi crumble. The last one is interesting cause toragashi is suppose to be some Japanese spice blend and it came in crumbly form, which have flavor to the rice and everything else!! They even have masala crumble, Parmesan crumble, olive crumble and the best part truffle crumble!! Will def be back to be impressed over and over again 😋
