Poke Bowl

After eating the Poke Bowl at Eatomo, I have always wanted to try another one.

A wide bowl but not deep. 

If one can't decide on what to select, one can order one of these best sellers. Please click the above photo for a larger image.

This is my selection: no rice, just vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds and shrimps.

My selection costs MYR17.90 nett but I have 10% discount so I only paid MYR16.10 nett.

This is my selection: 

- No rice, baby greens that turned out to be just lettuce, 

- one sauce instead of two. I chose herby lime as all the sauces in the top row have mayo in them and I don't quite like mayo. 

- For the 4 sides, I selected fruits: pineapples and mangoes; nuts: almonds and walnuts which turned out to have been replaced by cashew nuts. 

- Avocado is not available else I would have considered adding it under the "premium add on" category by paying an additional MYR2,90 nett. 

- For the unlimited toppings, one would be tempted to tick all the circles but I guess the taste may clash so I just select fish roe and all the seeds: sunflower, pumpkin, flax and chia. 

- For protein, it is shrimps for me.

This bowl has a premium add-on of a poached egg.

After a healthy meal, there is room for not-so-healthy food so I went and bought some snacks (3 pieces at MYR5 nett) from SS2 Goreng Pisang kiosk at One Utama to feast on.

I ordered the spicy salmon poke bowl set at MYR18.90++ (10% service charge and 6% GST - MYR22.05 nett). The set includes a drink (cold or hot green tea), a bowl of miso soup and a dessert which turned out to be soy pudding with berry sauce.

Explanation from wiki online: "Poke (Hawaiian for "to section" or "to slice or cut") is a raw fish salad served as an appetizer in Hawaiian cuisine, and sometimes as a main course".

In recent years, some restaurants in USA have started making poke bowls which includes rice or some other healthy options like quinoa or cous cous and the trend has reached here.

In the poke bowl above, there are tiny cubes of raw salmon marinated in a slightly spicy sauce, slices of cucumbers, guacamole, calrose rice, furikake, bits of seaweeds, sesame seeds, ebiko mixed with some sort of vinegar so it is very flavourful with lots of different tastes going on at the same time.

My friend ordered the Oyakodon set at MYR14.90++ (MYR17.40 nett) which includes the same items other than the main dish.

The soy pudding with berry sauce.

3 of us also ordered a raindrop cake to share at MYR10.90++ (MYR12.70 nett). The dark patch on the right of the raindrop cake is not the shadow of the cake but brown sugar syrup. The light brown powder on the left is kinako (sweet toasted soybean flour). Both are for dipping the raindrop cake in. 

Raindrop cake is basically just agar-agar and the texture here is just too firm. I expected it to be more wobbly.

Total Bill is MYR73.45 nett for 3 persons.
