 Squash juice are fresh Cold Press juice and crafted by the mixologist to create a functional and nutritional juice. Cold press is a way to extract the best liquid, pulp and nutrient from fruits and vegetables without exposing it with heat from the blender. With the rave of liquid detox recently, you can do the same with the juice here and create you personalise detox program. Price started from $6.90 to $9.90, they are reflective base on the fresh ingredients use.

 I tried Hydrate (Coconut water, Cucumber, Watermelon and Kalamansi), Berrylicious Antioxidant (Apple, Pear, Mix Berries and Promegranate) and Tropical Sunrise (Banana, Orange and Strawberry). Hydrate is refreshing and packed with liquid. It is not sweet and easy on the palate. Berrylicious and Tropical Sunrise are thicker in texture, and you can feel the fibre from the banana, orange and berries. Delicious and it does feel healthy.

 To accompany the juice, Squash also offer a salad bar which contains more than 30+ toppings and healthy version of the dressings. The salad base starts at $5.90 with a choice of 2 standard toppings and 1 dressing. Our first try of salad is Salad pasta. Using spiral pasta as a base, the berries dressing is just wonderful. Something unique and not commonly found.

 Next come the Ultimate Rojak Salad. It is a modern interpretation by Squash for Singapore Favourite Rojak. The key ingredients here are the caramelised pineapple and dried cuttle fish. Squash even throw in the mini cut You Tiao to add to the authenticity. It is nice, light and not spicy. The dried cuttle fish also has a more refine, not overpowering stinky taste.

 For more exotic toppings (add $2), you can have prawns, smoked salmon, pork bulgogi or buratta cheese. We tried the Spicy Thai Prawn Salad and Pork Bulgogi. The prawns are fresh but not as spicy as Thai version of raw salad. The pork bulgogi are delicious, although slightly chewy because of the cut of the meat.

 One thing I like to mention here, there is no fix mixture of the salad. You are welcome to mix and match and come out with your creation.

If salad is not your thing, maybe you can consider wraps. We tried smoked Salmon and Roast Beef. Using whole wheat wrap, remind me of eating Souvlaki or Turkish Wrap. It tasted crisp, fresh and tasty. Of course the ingredients here are more refine, yet compare to Turkish wrap. My preference is the beef rather than the salmon.

 With Chinese New Year around the corner and you are looking for a different version of Yu Sheng, you can order from Squash. They used healthy nuts, dried fruits and mix berries dressing as the toppings. Price starting from $28. I personally like the unique mix berries dressing.

 Not all juices are created equal.

I like how this one-month-old shop's name is self-explanatory and easy to remember. But what you may not know is their slogan "not all juices are created equal". I draw attention to their slogan because their juices are freshly cold pressed juices to retain the most functional nutritional values. While we know that packet juices are definitely all sugar, synthetic and only thirst-quenching, we learnt from the juice gurus that hawker fruit juices are also nothing more than real fruit taste but nearly zero nutrients with their rudimentary blenders. Cold pressed juices from Squash are also careful concoctions of different fruits, herbs and vegetables to ensure that they are delightful in complementary tastes and high in nutritional value that is required by different organs in our bodies. With zero preservatives and anything other than the fruits/berries/vegetables/herbs, these bottled juices are to be consumed within 2 days. Even the owners from Squash themselves drink these juices!

 The team behind these Squash juices

These juices are cold-pressed and packaged in their open-concept kitchen at the basement of The Central (Clarke Quay). The team behind Squash comprises of passionate and health-conscious individuals who are well-versed in food science management and nutrition dietary information. Squash's founder, Allan Foo, has personally experienced the fineness of rebooting his body back into health through a juice diet and is inspired towards sharing his secret to health with everyone.

 A myriad of Squash power juices

Amazing Trio: Apple, Carrot, Orange

Hydrate: Coconut water, Cucumber, Watermelon, Kalamansi

Awake: Apple, Pineapple, Ginger, Cinnamon

Vita Max: Apple, Beetroot, Carrot, Celery, Orange

Purity: Pear, Honeydew, Cucumber, Kale, Lemon, Ginger

Antioxidant: Apple, Pear, Mix Berries, Pomegranate

They currently have 6 different juice flavours, though they are always constantly innovating different juice flavours! I've tried all the juices and I must say that I'm impressed by how the proportion of the ingredients is very well managed and none of the ingredients is particularly overpowering. Much to my delight, all these juices are concentrated, pulpy, not overly sweet, and very pleasant to drink. I seriously love the fruit pulp in juice which makes it more satisfying to drink! As they say, not all juices are created equal and some are obviously easier on the palate than others. In accordance to my preferences: Awake, Amazing Trio, Antioxidant, Vita Max, Hydrate, Purity.

For a complete 3-day or 5-day juice diet, you need to drink 5 bottles a day. While it may seem crazy to drink only pure juices for 3 days straight (wouldn't I be hungry?!), Mr Allan Foo who has personally tried it revealed that it has improved his health, weight loss and he felt more alert and energized during his juice cleanse process. The fibers and pulp that have been retained by the gentler cold-pressed method of juicing would contribute to the feeling of 'fullness'. Their juices are going at $7/bottle (except for the Antioxidant one which is going at $9) which is more affordable than a lot of other juice diets out in the market right now.

 Lo hei with amazingly healthy options...it's possible.

Don't blame the festive season for your widening waistline; blame the lack of healthy and delicious food options... right? Not anymore since Squash has recreated the lo hei with their health-conscious mission in mind. Their lo hei actually has saccharine sweet raspberry pulpy sauce at the base, which surprisingly actually works very well with the fresh fat slices of salmon, cucumber, corntons (corn-version of croutons), taupoktons, oine nuts, cashew nuts and golden raisins. I think this is a really wonderful alternative to the usual restaurant sort of lo hei if you want to do lo hei in a smaller group and/or lo hei with people who are not suited to eat fattening/unhealthy food due to health concerns.

 One of a kind wraps

That wrap you see is only one of the many combinations possible at Squash. Want a guilt-free wrap and yet not ready to forgo all your favourite food? You still can choose what goes in there (and what doesn't) in thier one-of-a-kind wraps. The wrap skin is paper-thin and very slightly salted, and it sure didn't taste like a 'health food' to me even though Squash already got the nutrition part right for you.

 The highlight of Squash: The Ultimate Rojak Salad

This, and a second serving that we requested, were swept clean off the bowl the moment our chopsticks started moving! Clearly a hot favourite of the table, you will be glad to know that this ultimate Rojak salad does not scrimp on the original local rojak flavours and yet is made even better with dried cuttlefish and taupoktons. This dish is born out of the event that local food gurus have planned - Ultimate Hawker Fest and further improved to become what it is today. If you are not sure what to start with at Squash, this will not disappoint. In fact, I like this salad more than the original rojak itself because I always found it too dry. A toss of vegetables and in-house sauce made it much more enjoyable!

 Chicken Bulgogi Pasta Salad

I probably hate approximately 87% of vegetables in the world but somehow the salads at Squash went down well with me for its freshness and its delectable mix with other things instead of pure vegetables. For those who cannot let go of their meat and carbohydrates, the Chicken Bulgogi Pasta Salad on the menu would be an oasis for you in case you're dragged in here by salad lovers. After trying it out, I realized I loved this a lot because of the chicken bulgogi inspired from the Korean cuisine. It's well marinated and spiced, more outstanding than usual perhaps because their recipes are thoroughly experimented.

 Spicy Thai Prawn Salad

This was strangely not spicy and more 'traditionally' like a salad with the usual crunchy vegetables partying in a bowl and also corn and pinenuts to add a bit more dimension to the entire dish. I would say that this is good, but go for the Ultimate Rojak Salad or Chicken Bulgogi Pasta Salad for the more special options.
