With A Pinch of Salt from Tanjong Katong Road has opened an express counter at the basement food court of HDB Bldg in Toa Payoh Central. There was an on-going promotion for selected pastas at $5.50 each, with 30¢ surcharge for each takeaway container

We ordered the Spaghetti with Fish in Cream Sauce and the Marinara Fish Pasta. Our orderes took about 15minutes to be assembled. The Spaghetti with Fish in Cream Sauce was dry with not enough gravy and tasted very bland. The Marinara Fish Pasta was not bad but like the cream sauce version, again was too dry with the spaghetti strands clumped together. Each pasta dish had only fpur chunks of deep fried dory fish - due to the promotional price. Similar dish at Pizza Hut tastes better, with more & better quality ingredients, costs only slightly more at $7.90++.

with a pinch of salt is hidden in a corner of a food court in toa payoh hubordered their bread and butter pudding which was heated in a microwave and topped wiht butter cream. texture is chewy, like that its not too sweet, however would prefer it to be more moist. guess the texture is that way because its microwaved rather than freshly baked. have yet to try their main dishes but they look really appetising in the photos. at 5-6 bucks each - its really value for money!!very nice ambience - wall

ordered their bread and butter pudding which was heated in a microwave and topped wiht butter cream.
texture is chewy, like that its not too sweet, however would prefer it to be more moist. guess the texture is that way because its microwaved rather than freshly baked.
have yet to try their main dishes but they look really appetising in the photos.
at 5-6 bucks each - its really value for money!!

very nice ambience - walls are colorfully painted with their cafe's mascot girl
tables also spot cute cartoon characters which say " its only a cafe, dont take it so seriously.."
which ties in with ther cafe's name - with a pinch of salt

staff is friendly and helpful - they asked me how i was liking my meal & invited me to come back again when i was about to leave.

The escargots at “With a Pinch of Salt” are uniquely cooked. These snails taste simply great, grilled at the right temperature and placed on top of these crystals. They cost around $7 for a portion. The snails are fresh and I like the taste of garlic and butter it is being baked with.

Really enjoyed going down to this restaurant at Gourmet Paradise Toa Payoh Branch.The special thing about this cafe is that it provides a special dish each of the day with a cutting price (discount) from S$7.70 to S$5.50, that is quite a lot of saving that can be made. On Monday, my favourite is the Aglio Olio. However the other dishes are not bad too. Worth the try but make sure to select their dish of the day to make sure not to waste money and be trifling.

Really enjoyed going down to this restaurant at Gourmet Paradise Toa Payoh Branch.
The special thing about this cafe is that it provides a special dish each of the day with a cutting price (discount) from S$7.70 to S$5.50, that is quite a lot of saving that can be made.

On Monday, my favourite is the Aglio Olio. However the other dishes are not bad too. Worth the try but make sure to select their dish of the day to make sure not to waste money and be trifling.


The place is really creative. It really expresses the characteristic of its owner who is Kyra. There are a lot of photos on the wall, depicting little Kyra.

My Dory Sambal set, which comes with a soup of the day and a glass of fruit punch, cost $8.90. I think it is value-for-money in a cosy and thoughtfully furbished corner of the food court. There are even some cosy sofa seats for customers to rest on.

One word of caution to those who may not be able to take much spice, beware if you want to order this Dory Sambal, it is SPICY! After eating half of the dory I could feel my tongue "burning" haha. But generally the food is yummy.

At first look,i though this stall sells reasonable priced set menu like $5.50 but they charged you for take away extra 50 cents for small containers or even boxes that can't even be reused,like those you buy for take away lunch boxes which must be thrown away after use!The fish set that i ordered is called something like fish gordonbleu and upon reaching home which is just a 10 mintues drive,my dinner became the worst fish dinner i ever had as the fish becomes so soggy and it looks aweful and t
