Protein bowls are widespread these days, but have you ever had a Japanese protein bowl? That’s where @toriten.sg comes in, with their Chuu (regular, $9.90 nett), Dai (large, $11.90 nett), and Tokudai (Extra, $12.90 nett) protein bentos. You get to choose a protein, two bases (carbs), sides which include esoteric but delectable non meat offerings such as Coconut Cauliflower, a choice of a dressing and a sprinkle each.⠀

Tori Ten’s two most popular protein options, Chicken Yuzu and Chicken Tempura, were both quite delicious. The Chicken Yuzu was baked to perfection and glazed with a tangy, delicious yuzu soy marinade. The aroma of yuzu was quite prominent in every bite of tender chicken, and was a uniquely delicious bit of protein. As for the Chicken Tempura, well, it’s just a deep fried chicken, but it’s done excellently. Although the Chicken Tempura is a tad bland, the crisp batter cocooning the juicy chicken inside was texturally satisfying.⠀

As for the carbs, the Oita Fried Rice is an eggless fried rice that’s savoury, fluffy & garlicky, while the Jap Tomato Spaghetti was surprisingly familiar. If you’ve ever had Jollibee spaghetti, then this will be a familiar flavour to you. When it comes to the sides, there is a singular must order item. The Buttered Quinoa was incredibly buttery, rich and tasty, and I didn’t even know that quinoa was even allowed to be that delicious.⠀

$11.90 nett for this healthy & hearty Japanese bento is already a wonderful deal, but you can get TWO Dai (large) bentos for the price of one with #burpplebeyond! Now that’s taking your diet plans to levels beyond what was previously possible!⠀

Thank you for the invite, @burpple & @toriten.sg!
