Set A comes with a choice of One Base, One Protein and Two Sides. For the sides, I went for the Roasted Kin Yan Farm Mushrooms, and Caramalised Parsnip and Spiced Carrots while going for the Risoni for the base and Soy & Ginger Caramalised Pork Belly for the protein. The whole grain bowl actually worked very well; well-portioned with well-executed dishes which are flavoursome and pretty wholesome. Risoni would fit those who prefer small pasta grains which are a tad chewier, whilst cooked with mint, parsley and dill. The Soy & Ginger Caramalised Pork Belly carried sweet and savoury flavours; very soft and tender and easily pulled apart with a fork, whilst the two sides were also pretty well done; the mushrooms were earthy yet carried sweet flavours from caramalised onions and the spiced carrots feel very much like sweet potatoes; soft and sweet. Each grain bowl comes with a choice of three sauces (or you could ask and get all three like what I did); a lethal Sambal Belachan; a savoury and sweet Chili Jam and a white sauce with cucumber that tasted quite Indian-inspired — all three were enjoyable but the Sambal Belachan was seriously fiery; they weren't even joking about how chokingly spicy it could get. Probably one of the places I would return to for lunch one day especially if I were to crave for something light, and although it's just a little behind Grain Traders in variety, Plentyfull is pretty much a good alternative if you don't want to travel all the way down to Raffles Place or Tanjong Pagar to solve your grain bowl cravings.
