Mondays are the worst to get salads because weekends seem to be a great excuse to pig out and Mondays are the best days to pay for pigging out. Queues are ridiculously long regardless which of these outlets and waiting time more than doubles as we all fight for that meal to detox.
And strangely or not, eating clean need not me a pricey affair afterall!
THE PRICEY

They offer a selection of pre-made salads, pre-created ones or best of all, DIY them yourself. I had a go at it and enjoyed it tremendously. Was it because I hadn't had one in ages or it was just darn good. The companion concurred "the best" as well. I love how the greens are so fresh and dressing not cloyingly thick or an overkill.
Roastbeef and japanese miso for me. And yes, it hurts the pocket quite a bit at $10.50 for 4 toppings and 1 meat.

hail TSS for opening another outlet in the heart of Tanjong Pagar!
Still ranks tops for priciest of the lot but just so good with the
options available. Starting from $8 to $13 for human sized portions that
comes with more sophisticated meat cuts i.e. grilled salmon and sirloin
steak even! Remains so close to heart a top favourite, and only if my
pay check could justify my these regular meals.
Salads and wraps
Icon Village
I ordered a DIY salad combination ($8) instead of going the lazy way out. Their variety of ingredients are decently wide but I strangely ended up with the usual suspects. The only experiment I did with this box of greens was the lemon wasabi dressing - somewhat potent but oh-so-good. I am totally piqued for their wraps now!
THE CHEAP
Fraische
International Plaza #01-10
This
tops the list for price. At $5.90 and a salad base with any 5 toppings,
it had to be a cheap deal for a start. I tried to steer clear of the
canned and frozen vegetables to the best of my ability and ended up with
a mostly green salad save for pumpkin, cherry tomatoes and carrots.
What I love about them? The price most definitely and also their
homemade crouton-like bread chunks - these could pass off as an
ingredient of its own but it was way too salty.
I opted for honey mustard dressing which had the right dosages of honey and mustard. Worth a try!
The Salad Corner
Tanjong Pagar Plaza #01-04
Cheap and good sums this up with $4.90 for one base and 6 toppings or 7 toppings without the base. Variety is adequate and so are the sauces. So far I have stuck with wasabi soy for a delicious good time! Due to the size of the outlet, takeaway is always recommended. And if choice of other bases beyond lettuce is desired, head over to their Amoy Street outlet!
