About half a year ago, i went to a retail outlet at Millenia Walk to troubleshoot my then new EOZ Air and by the time, i was done; my tummy was growling badly yet i didn't want to have too heavy a meal given that it's already past 8pm.
That's when i chanced upon Tokyo Chopped Salad; it was a good dinner and i made a mental note to return in the near future so that i can blog about it. Well, i was back to the eatery today and as the saying goes "better late than never".
Do note that the seating area for diners isn't huge and the space constraint made it hard for a group of more than four to have a meal together. I was lucky that my visits were always timed, coincidentally, after the typical busy lunch / dinner period.
The long counter for preparation took up about one third of the store; hence contributing to the lack of seating area. However, i think they do have a lot of takeaway orders and i would explain why shortly.
Here at Tokyo Chopped Salad, you can choose from a range of signature salads like premium beef tataki salad, teppei's signature kaizen salad, corocoro shrimp tofu salad and even bento if you need to eat carbohydrates!
There's also the DIY option where you choose your base, protein, toppings and dressing, including the amount of dressing you want, for a minimum of S$12.50!
Pictorial guide on the DIY ingredients; i am too lazy to think and opted for the signature Mentai Teriyaki Chicken salad (which i had in my first visit too) instead.
After payment, it's a chance to see the staff work their magic! There's a reason why it's called chopped salad; the ingredients were literally sliced into little pieces using the unique tool shown in the above photo!
Here's my salad; comprising of teriyaki chicken, romaine lettuce, broccoli, corn, egg, cherry tomato, cucumber and dressed with mentai caesar dressing!
Now, i can't seem to find a fork for my meal. I looked at the other tables and it suddenly dawned on me; you just need a spoon to eat since everything was already chopped up!
That's convenient and definitely beneficial for takeaways, especially for butterfingers and messy eaters like mine. With just the spoon, i can use the free hand to hold my phone to read the newsfeed on my facebook.
Food wise, the general ingredients were fresh and it's not hard to see that the operator was rather generous with the serving size. I would have preferred the teriyaki chicken to be juicier and oilier, with a thicker layer of skin but well, healthy eating requires some sacrifices....
Shiok ah! Personally, the price tag of S$13.80 for my salad was a tad expensive to indulge on a regular basis and i guess i would have to make do with the usual, un-chopped version at home.
