Pink Guava and Strawberry Log Cake

Pan Pacific Singapore debuts three new log cake flavours apart from the two old-time favourites this Christmas. The Pink Guava and Strawberry Log Cake are dressed in an alluring red hue, featuring an interesting combination of light pink guava mousse, strawberry confit and red velvet cake. The flavour carries a slight tang, making it as delectable as it looks.

Coconut Mango Log Cake

Coconut Mango Log Cake leans towards a more tropical note, with mango passionfruit confit sandwiched between two layers of coconut dacquoise and enveloped by fluffy coconut mousse. I love how Christmasy it looks!

And of course, the classic stays - The crowd-favourite Hazelnut Praline and Yuzu Gateaux adopts a new look with fluffy 55% dark chocolate mousse while retaining the crunchy chocolate praline feuilletine base and yuzu crémeux.

Superfood Kitchen @ Raffles City - Making Nutritional Bowls Accessible to All

IMG_1162

Superfood Kitchen has one mission - to improve the quality of living by making nutrition accessible to all. Their latest outlet is located at Raffles City, a dual-concept with their sister brand, The Green Bar. It is the first in Singapore to integrate a nutrition calculator into its self-ordering kiosks so that you can customize your diet based on your personal nutritional requirements based on Calories, Protein, Carbohydrates and Fats. The main offerings are Superbowl (from $7.90), Superburrito (from $6.90) and Salad (from $6.90). In addition, you can add your desired supplements to beef up the nutritional intake for each main.

Mediterranean Delight 4/5

There are six types of Superbowls featuring essential proteins such as chicken, beef and tofu. We tried the Mediterranean Delight, which comprises sous vide chicken breast as the protein, along with quinoa, tomato salsa, hummus peanut butter, pickled red onions, and roasted sea-salt pumpkin, served with garlic aioli dressing. The chicken breast was moist and tender. So even if you are a sceptic, do give it a try. The quinoa, being cooked in vegetable broth, was flavourful. The hummus here is made using peanut butter instead of tahini. Hence it lends a depth of nuttiness to this very light and refreshing grain bowl.

Crispy Tofu Balls

I also added other supplements such as Guacamole, Chilli Pickled Pineapple and Crispy Tofu Balls. The tofu balls are one of The Green Bar's specialities, perfect for a meatless option.

Smoked Duck Mango Tango 3.8/5

For Salads, a popular choice is the Smoked Duck Mango Tango ($14.90), featuring thick cuts of smoked duck, mangoes, beets, capsicums, and roasted cashews, served with citron dressing. The dressing complements the savoury and unctuous smoked duck with an additional drizzle of balsamic for extra acidity.

DIY Superbowl with Cajun Chicken

We also DIY a Superbowl (from $7.90/1 grain+ 1 protein + 3 supplements + 1 dressing) by choosing our preferred grain and supplements - Cajun Chicken, Quinoa, Burnt Broccoli, Beets, Mango and a citrusy Orange Vinaigrette. The Burnt Broccoli was tasty, and per additional portion is only 80cent! The Cajun Chicken was tender as well.

Superfood Kitchen also brought bottled juices and smoothies by this adorable brand Innocent to complement your meals.
