What’s in my bowl ($11.60 - $1 Meatless Monday)

Salad Bowl B ($10.80)
Base: Romaine, Mesclun Mix + Soba (+$0.80)
Hot Protein: Thai spiced Falafel
Crunchies: Roasted pumpkin, corn kernels, cucumber, tofu
Dressing: Cashew and lime (non-fat)

I totally forgot about the meatless Monday offer and didn’t realise that I’d ordered a meatless bowl until the cashier mentioned that I was entitled to a discount. Imagine what a pleasant surprise that was!

I was super excited when I saw soba available (finally! After 3 weeks!) and there was even pasta too! There were actually tons of options today for all the ingredients today, which was fantastic. The falafel today was slightly spicy and studded with finely chopped long beans, but it was great! If I remember correctly, they do change the falafel seasoning from time to time as the last time I had it it wasn’t spicy at all. There were 3 other hot protein options available (which is more than I’ve ever seen at one go) - Salmon, teriyaki chicken & turmeric chicken. While the salmon and turmeric chicken looked pretty dry, I was so tempted to go for the teriyaki chicken drenched in teriyaki sauce but thankfully I didn’t (meatless Monday offer yo!). As for the crunchies, I was simply spoilt for choice as there was roasted pumpkin, eggplant and sweet potato all available today. I really love the tofu here as it’s slightly savoury, and of medium firmness - so it doesn’t feel like you’re biting into tasteless dry chunks of tofu. Wanted to try the non-fat Thai Dressing today but it wasn’t available :( ended up getting the cashew lime again which I really enjoyed the previous time! Note that most of the dressings here are pretty watered down, so it might be a good thing for weight watchers as you still get pretty decent taste that can be spread over more salad.
