Healthier Options- No BS food

Gyudon ($15) 

Price Rating: $

Ambience: 2* 

Gyudon, in a tempura place, yes, I didn’t order fried food. If you’ve read my previous reviews, you’ll know why. 

So friends, if you get called to Akimitsu that specializes in amazing tempura dishes in large portions, but want to give the oily foods a pass, this Gyudon is here to save the day. Soft, tender and moist, it is comforting to eat. Though the beef tends to be a little too bland for my taste, it is an OK meal.

Fitness Salad ($20.90)

I know I know, “Why would you spend $20 on a salad Jasmine!” Yeah I get that a lot, but just hush for a bit and hear me out on this one alright.

Fitness Salad, dressed with balsamic dressing, made this a refreshing salad on a table filled with oily, deep fried food. I am not a fan of oily food at all,gives me the runs and makes me a merlion, so I normally have a salad as my side to turn to when I really hate oily food, but am too nice to not refuse them when offered by my friends.

So I looked at the Menu, hmm, $20 bucks, that’s pretty pricey for a small side salad.
I confidently called for the waitress and ordered it. “Would you like a sharing plate?” She asked. I confidently said, “Nope”. She raised an eyebrow but then went along.
Man was I shocked.
Shortly after she served the salad that took up half of our table, yes, it’s that big.
So friends, unless you want to fill up on greens like a cow (which I totally enjoyed), don’t order this big, worthy, flavourful bowl of goodness, please.

Shrimp Salad ($16.90) 

Price Rating: $$ 

Ambience: 3* 

Tangy, refreshing and the perfect combination of toppings. The shrimp salad is a western dish with an asian twist to it. The prawns are sweet and spicy, and the taste is neutralized by the olives, onions and grapes. A very filling meal without all the guilt!
