This place is best known for their pulled pork – so obviously I had to choose that for my choice of protein 😚 The pulled pork, having claimed to be stewed/grilled for 8 hours, was immensely flavourful and well-seasoned! Although I found it a little too salty for my liking, it definitely matched my choice of base - the 3-grain mix - really well 😋 The 3-grain mix consists of quinoa, bulgur wheat, and pearl barley, which had a lovely gritty texture and was pleasantly addictive.
The main highlight of my bowl was certainly the glorious combination of pulled pork and grains, as I personally felt that their sides had nothing much to shout about.
The zucchini and herb salad came drenched in a citrusy sauce, giving it a tangy flavour, while the marinated mixed mushrooms were garlicky and juicy, which probably stood out best amongst the rest. The purple cabbage slaw was rather disappointing as I expected it to be well-marinated given that it’s supposed to be a “slaw” and not just plain shredded purple cabbage… and the broccoli could have been boiled for longer, as the ones served tasted a tad too raw.
Overall, the portion could have been bigger as this grain bowl did not fill me up… considering that I paid $15.50 for it, I believe they could be more generous with the ingredients.
Would I be back again? Hmm maybe, if I was in the vicinity, craving for something healthy and when I’m not too famished. Otherwise, I guess there are better and more substantial grain bowls out there.
