Haakon Superfoods & Juice (Holland Village)

I wouldn’t come here again for their mains 😔

We got 2 bowls of truffle steak salad ($14.90), one with added salmon poke and one without. I didn’t really like the truffle steak because I found the meat to be quite tough. But considering this is a 14.90 salad, I guess I can’t expect much quality beef here.

The salmon poke (+$5 iirc) was the big disappointment for me because the salmon didn’t feel very fresh. I’ve never had chewy salmon and I don’t think I ever want to have it again. I’ve probably been spoilt by poke specialists at A Poke Theory and Aloha Poke. Get your poke fix there instead.

Pumpkin is so good!!!! The right kind of softness and flavour!!!

Absolutely loved the beetroot hummus. The quoina and cauliflower patty is pretty good too except some parts are too hard and dry. Broccoli tasted a bit blend. But overall it's a good healthy. Got it on the day that they had 1 for 1 so it's pretty worth it.

I was really impressed by their grain bowls! The portions were quite small tho.. Ordered
1) Salmon shirataki ($13.90)
-The baked salmon fillet was not too dry/hard. Not the best salmon fillet i had but i must say its pretty good for a grain bowl standard.
2) Avocado vegan bowl ($11.90)
- The beetroot humus was really really impressive!! I think its my favourite side!! The humus wasnt too clogging/jelat and i think i tasted cumin (which makes it really fragrant)
- The quinoa cauliflower patty was also very nice! I love the slight crispness and was glad that it wasnt too dry.
-The other sides were pretty ordinary and didnt had their own special flavour. The broccoli felt raw and was quite hard. The roasted curry cauliflower didnt had any curry taste?
-Orange passion vinaigrette dressing was really nice, fragrant and not overly sweet. Really love the passion fruit fragrance.

As DIY bowls werent under the 1for1 promotion, it was a pity that i couldnt customise my bowl. Nonetheless, i am glad they have this DIY option so that i can choose sides and mains that i like hehe😊

Worth it: 2.5/5
Taste: 3.5/5
Ratings: 6/10 (A bit too pricey without 1for1 considering that their portion is decent but on the smaller side. The regular bowl costs $11.90 while the large bowl with additional main costs $13.90. Tbh i still feel that Freshbeets at habitat by honestbee sells the best grain bowl in the sense that every side has its own unique flavour and marination... Just hoping that they wouldnt skimp on the ingredients with the price increase in my subsequent visits)

No go
Can go 😊

🤔: Had the nut butter & acai bowl and it was really good and they were very generous with the toppings. The acai wasn't too icy and did not melt very fast either. Really good, will definitely try their other flavours soon!

Seriously, how much more eye-appealing can they make a salad look 😍 like, peep those rainbow colors!!

This is a Large Bowl ($14.90) which came with 1 base, 1 dressing (I decided not to have dressing), 2 mains, 3 sides and 1 topping. For the base I opted for mesclun salad greens, the mains were salmon sashimi (+$2) and black pepper roast tofu, the 3 sides were piccalilli cauliflower, maple baked carrot and cherry tomato salsa. Finally everything was topped with a sprinkling of almond flakes (always so nice to have a crunch in your salad!!)

The standout for me was the maple-glazed carrot. Sweet, crunchy and refreshing, it paired really well with the undressed greens. The black pepper tofu was really spicy though surprisingly. I also appreciated the seasoning on the cauliflower which elevated the flavor profile of the entire bowl. Portion sizes were average for the price.

This meal was a satisfying one and a good option for healthy eaters in Holland Village, located a stone's throw from the MRT.
