Singapore Food Log: Urban Mix, One Raffles Place
I can’t believe it
happened to me but I’m having a nostalgic longing feeling toward the food at
Raffles Place MRT. Well, it’s probably because I have not been there for months
when I am unemployed. I mean, who will go to CBD when not working right. The
crowd can be madness at times. But there are many dinner options available at
the area near the MRT station such as the basement level of One Raffles Place
and Chevron House. I know that the Daily Cut seems to be the most favourite
amongst Raffles Place office crowd at the moment with its constant bee-line
queue at both lunch and dinner times. But this time, I wanna try another type
of DIY box from Urban Mix. Similar to the Daily Cut, the ordering start by
taking the ordering chit and tick whatever options you’d like to take in your
box.
There are two options
with the price of SGD 9 for small mix (1 base, 0.5 protein, 1 side salad, 3
toppings, 1 sauce) and SGD 12 for big mix (1 base, 1 protein, 2 side salads, 3
toppings, 1 sauce). I chose the small mix and I think the combination of kimchi
fried rice and beer batter dory will be good although I never try this
combination before. If you don’t like to
scratch your head so much on which item to tick, you can opt for the Urban Mix’s
signature bowls too. They have 4 kind of signature bowls such as Gangnam Style,
Texas Cowboy, Viva Mexico, L.A. Crossfit and Little Tokyo. I forgot to check
how much of this signature bowl costs but I think it will cost around SGD 12?
The choices of the
protein seem to be more interesting than the Daily Cut although this probably
because I have been eating the Daily Cut for a bit too often. Urban Mix offers
some items which I don’t see at any other places such as Korean pork belly and
BBQ pulled pork. Pork ftw oink oink. Oops, but today I’m fated with dory not
pork.
Drinks are available
too from cokes to the fancy coconut water. Hmm, has anyone tried Mexican cola
before? Does it take different from the usual cola?
The counter staff was
very generous last night, she informed me that by right I should only get 1
piece of beer batter dory because after all I’m only entitled 0.5 protein in my
SGD 9 small mix. But she told me that she would give me 2 pieces of beer batter
fish instead. Yeay! Overall I love the combination that I chose and turns out
the roasted sesame sauce works so good with the beer batter dory and kimchi
fried rice. The crab mayo salad tastes yummy too without any weird tangy feel.
So yupz, I will definitely be back here whenever I crave for something from Raffles Place.
