After having my first wrap a few weeks ago, I fell in love with it sooooo much more than the salad version. While portions of greens are slightly less (as obviously, more greens will fit in a bowl than in a wrap), the sensation of biting into a Chipotlé burrito-sized wrap packed with all manners of greens and meats and sauce is out of this world.
For just $9.50 for a salad or $9 for a wrap, you can create your own from about 20 kinds of ingredients - mostly vegetables, cheese, pasta, nuts - and there's no limit to the number of ingredients you can have. The only limit of course is that it fits in a bowl or is wrap-packable. I had mine with generous servings of greens, edamame, mushrooms, olives, cheese, couscous, peppers, onions, tomatoes, sunflower seeds and smoked salmon (extra $3), topped with (among a list of over 10 sauces) wasabi honey soy. Absolutely bursting with flavour, ultra healthy, and surprisingly filling to boot.
I managed to nick the last spinach wrap for mine, and I always seem to get the same fillings (mixed lettuce, mushroom, beetroot, beans) but decided to add corn and grapes (?) this time. When asked what dressing I wanted, I blurted out 'Thai lemongrass' from reading the menu, without realizing the strangeness of the ingredient combination.Still tasted pretty damn good though!
You can pay a little bit more to get 'premium' leaves and fillings, like rocket and roast beef. There are also signature salad and wraps on the menu, with a very interesting Chilli Crab one that we've yet to try.This place gets crazy-crowded during lunch hours, but the 2 counters and army of servers behind the bar seem to accommodate this okay. Not the cheapest, but definitely one of the healthiest and yummiest lunch joints at Raffles Place!
