Not on any foodie or influencer's radar at all (but should be) is Meat And Green, a nondescript bar slash restaurant that's primarily a watering hole for the CBD crowd on weekdays, but I'll be damned, the food is good. The owner used to work as a chef in Dubai, and his unconventional take on healthy salads and wraps with a local twist can rival or even surpass the likes of more established players such as Daily Cut and Grain Traders.

Using ingredients and techniques more befitting of upmarket cafes, the dishes are both creative and delicious. A prime example would be this off-the-menu “bak chor”(minced pork) salad bowl which sees a generous amount of baby spinach, zucchini, broccoli, cherry tomato, quinoa and beetroot topped with mouth-watering cuts of sous vide pork loin and saucy minced pork laden with chilli, garlic and braised mushrooms. This, paired together with a herbaceous green chilli and parsley salsa verde doesn’t seem to make sense at first, but everything comes together beautifully once you taste it. Not to mention, you can get this in wrap form as well.

Taste: 3.5/5
