Grain Traders (Telok Ayer)

Here for their grain bowl that you can choose from 1 base, 1 protein, 2 veggies, 1 side, 1 topping and 1 dressing for $16.

I got the sea bass with lemon & curry leaf dressing (seems like this was famous as they just served the 2nd platter for this). It doesn’t taste very fishy at all for me.

Snagged a 1 for 1 using Shopback! This bowl ($10) comprises sourdough topped with mashed avocado. The toast was too dense but the spread was great!! Lightly flavoured and very generous with its portion. Accompanied it with sautéed mushrooms, mixed bean salad and egg cocette. A highlight was the salsa verde - a tangy tomato sauce with a spicy kick!

Am surprised that so little has been said about Grain Traders’ breakfast options - snagged two bowls for the price of one ($10) using Shopback! Picked sourdough for my base but was disappointed to find it very dense and hard (not at all airy, and a lot more like rye). Paired it with house made ricotta cheese and vegan avo hollandaise! Also had broccoli kale spinach (little bit strange for breakfast oops) and scrambled eggs. Super worthwhile for its price but I could probably have done better with my selection of ingredients!

Protein: Donburi Salmon
2 veggies: Broccoli & Mushrooms, Beetroot & Carrots
Base: Brown Rice
1 Salad : Bean Salad
1 Topping: furikake
1 Sauce: Miso Caramel
Overall a very nourishing bowl that’s delicious as well!
Priced at SGD 17.5 but everything on it was generous in portion especially the salmon

This was decent but not impressive. The better components were the sauces (avo hollandaise, a spicy tomato based sauce), the homemade ricotta cheese & the guac. I thought it strange for broccoli to be offered as a breakfast item.

We got this at $5/pax because of shopback’s 1-4-1 for breakfast. Value for money at $5 but I wouldn’t pay $10 for this

I chose the:
- couscous w chickpeas (base of the month)
- beef
- ratatouille (cold)
- roasted sweet ptt
- miso caramel sauce
- furikake
- beansprouts

Liked my selection! It was clean & light, and also v tasty. I would eat here v often if not for the price :’( portions here r huge we were stuffed but to be fair we get full easily

Tried my friend’s tuna, cucumbers & tomato salad and it was q refreshing!
