The Sandwich Shop (Collyer Quay)

($4.20) I decided to try their bagel (filled with jam) so like they got a lot of different variety of spread. I decided to choose strawberry jam instead. Bagel was quite nice tbh but jam was slightly sweet for me.

Clearly this place is a replicate of a certain Red Star international sandwich shop chain. But the quality of the food they serve is nowhere near that standard. I had a small salad and tomato soup and felt a bit sick after the meal. Some of the sandwiches I’ve had before were decent though.

Incredibly fresh and seductive

I cringe when I see pre- prepared salad bowls shelved in refrigerators because they usually look lifeless and stale.

However I couldn't forget the look of this salad at the sandwich shop's refrigerated shelves when I popped by to look - see on Monday.

It was love at first sight and I couldn't stop thinking about it until I finally lay my hands on it TODAY😛.

Whoever designed this salad with all its Colours , taste and textures really know his food . There was the crisp of the green salad ,cucumber and pumpkin seeds set against the juicy tomatoes and moist humus ( with a good lemon punch) and the crumbly falafel combined with the tartness of the sundried tomatoes and the sweetness of the pomegranates. The mint yogurt and the zesty vinaigrette provided the moistness and brought the whole salad together. Every element played out so well .

I know how it's like the have a salad for lunch and walk away feeling "meh" or half -full but this salad is so substantial that you may even struggle to finish it alone because of the 4 huge Falafels.

Having said that, I caution that this salad may not be for everyone especially if you don't like chickpeas or you don't like the middle eastern spices or if you didn't like parsley ( because there was quite a bunch of it ). For those of you who like your falafels fried with the crusty outer layer , this may not be for you since the falafels are baked here.

Really thrilled and happy to find such a beautiful salad and I must add that given the quality of the ingredients , 9.50 is really very very affordable.

Deliciously coated in a creamy mix that has that tinge of refreshing lemon. $4, which depending on how you see it, is value for money. #thesandwichshop #herpenandfork #sgblogger #sgfoodie #8dayseat #burpple #vscofood #openricesg #cafehoppingsg #instafood #instafood_sg #onthetable #stfoodtrending #crayfishroll

It was available on the shelves as I checked the place early morning on the way to work, looking for something for breakfast. Can’t help myself since I had a thing for crayfish, especially peeled ones so no need to use fingers.
