Superfood Kitchen X The Green Bar at Raffles City has quickly become my go-to spot for mouthwatering healthy superfood bowls and salads in Singapore’s bustling city centre. I chanced upon this nutritional haven quite serendipitously while craving something wholesome after several days of hearty feasting, and it’s been a regular haunt ever since.
The Perfect Partnership
The Green Bar, originally a beloved salad bar at Alexandra Retail Centre, expanded its health-focused empire when it launched its sister brand, Superfood Kitchen, in 2022. Together, they created this brilliant nutrition-focused takeout concept at Raffles City Shopping Centre, offering patrons the best of both worlds. This means you can order from both menus at the same location – talk about convenient healthy eating!
Menu Flexibility: Your Bowl, Your Rules
What’s particularly brilliant about Superfood Kitchen X The Green Bar at Raffles City is the flexibility on offer. While they have several predesigned bowls with expertly balanced flavours, the true magic lies in their customisation options. You can create your own bowls with seemingly endless combinations of ingredients, meaning you could literally eat something different every day for weeks on end!
The Ordering Experience
The outlet offers limited seating, so unless you’re visiting during off-peak hours, securing a spot can be challenging. Takeaway is generally the more practical option for most visitors to Superfood Kitchen X The Green Bar at Raffles City.
Ordering is a breeze through their self-service kiosks – simply place your order, make payment, and collect when ready. This efficient system minimises waiting time, perfect for busy professionals in the area.
Nutritional Transparency
One aspect I genuinely appreciate about Superfood Kitchen X The Green Bar at Raffles City is their commitment to nutritional transparency. The menu clearly states the nutritional information for each meal and additional toppings, allowing you to track your calorie intake and macronutrient balance. This information is particularly helpful if you’re following specific dietary requirements or fitness goals.
Bowl by Bowl: My Tasting Journey
Moroccan Couscous Salad: A Mediterranean Delight
I enhanced this Mediterranean-inspired creation with extra Teriyaki Tempeh and Rosemary Mushrooms. The fine couscous comes beautifully tossed with raisins, chickpeas, and olives, topped with cashew nuts, cherry tomatoes, and cucumbers, all sitting atop a fresh bed of mixed greens. The light yoghurt dressing ties everything together, with a lemon slice provided for added tanginess.
The flavour balance is exceptional, with the couscous offering substantial texture enhanced by the crunch from olives, tomatoes, and corn. Pro tip: definitely squeeze the lemon wedge over everything – it provides a refreshing acidity that elevates the entire dish.
Smoked Duck Mango Tango: Sweet Meets Savoury
This bowl features succulent smoked duck paired with juicy mango, roasted potatoes, red capsicums, and beetroot on a bed of greens with watercress. The citron vinaigrette adds brightness, while cashew nuts contribute a pleasantly roasty flavour and satisfying crunch.
I added extra Rosemary Mushrooms to enhance the earthiness. While the dressing was refreshingly sweet, it was slightly too sweet for my personal preference. The generous mango cubes create a veritable sweetness overload – perfect if you enjoy fruit-forward dishes.
Exploring More Flavours
Papa Java: Asian-Inspired Brilliance
The Papa Java bowl features perfectly roasted honey soy chicken paired with Asian-spiced brown rice, teriyaki tempeh, fresh lettuce, pickled red onions, tomato salsa, pickled carrots, and roasted peanuts.
The chicken is beautifully marinated, tender and flavourful. The brown rice offers a well-spiced base with a subtle spicy kick that keeps things interesting. The pickled elements provide a crunchy, refreshing contrast that cuts through the richness perfectly.
K-Fever: Korean-Inspired Lightness
This Korean-influenced offering features sous-vide chicken breast with cauliflower rice, lettuce, rosemary-roasted king oyster mushrooms, pickled red cabbage, roasted sea-salt pumpkin, black olives, and Gochujang aioli.
While this was my least favourite of the four bowls I tried, primarily because itwas the most subtle in flavour, the sous-vide chicken was impressively juicy and moist. The cauliflower rice needs thorough mixing with the dressing to avoid blandness – a minor compromise for those seeking low-carb alternatives.
A Thoughtful Nutrition-Focused Concept
What makes Superfood Kitchen X The Green Bar at Raffles City truly stand out is their thoughtful approach to health-conscious dining. All ingredients are prepared with evident care, and they offer alternatives like cauliflower rice for those following keto or low-carb diets.
The abundance of protein choices ensures both vegetarians and non-vegetarians are well catered for.
Perhaps most importantly, everything is made fresh – nothing processed or from packets or cans – which is truly appreciated in today’s convenience-focused food landscape. The meals manage to be satisfying without being overwhelmingly rich, striking that perfect balance that leaves you feeling nourished rather than sluggish.
If Superfood Kitchen X The Green Bar were located nearer to my home, I would happily make it part of my daily routine. For now, it remains a delightful healthy indulgence whenever I’m in the Raffles City area seeking nutrition without compromise.
