The Lawn Grill & Salad Cafe @ Shenton Way

IMG_3378ed

Meat your greens, the healthy eating concept from The Lawn has spread their wings and opened a new outlet at Shenton Way. Since my visit to The Lawn at Biopolis, I realized healthy eating can be fun and it does not mean you need to forgo your meat.

The ordering steps are still the same but with a little changes to suit the busy office crowd . Instead of choosing your grill, greens, toppings and dressings at the counter, patrons simply pick up a piece of the ordering sheet, tick the items for their salad and pick up when its ready for collection.
