Whenever my friends and I are undecided where to go for lunch, Soup Spoon (if available) is the safest choice to go for. This was what happen yesterday when Kim Gary was closed for Chinese New Year and we had to seek an alternative in Vivo City for lunch! I must really remember to bring my Soup Spoon card everywhere I go! Their cards cannot be combined. It's really good because for every $10 spent, you earn 100 points ($5 = 50 points) and for every 100 points, you can redeem $1 next time. In sum
I must really remember to bring my Soup Spoon card everywhere I go! Their cards cannot be combined. It's really good because for every $10 spent, you earn 100 points ($5 = 50 points) and for every 100 points, you can redeem $1 next time. In summary, 90% discount.
I bought the Velvety Mushroom Stroganoff Soup, by far my favourite flavour. There are also other flavours like Tangy Tomato, Meatless Minestrone and Simon & Garfunke that I tried on previous occasions, but nothing beats good old mushroom soups. Or maybe I'm just traditional... Why I like it: Not much physical 'ingredients' but the thick thick mushroom taste really makes me feel very very happy when I eat it! Like you can feel the quality, the saturation of the amount of mushrooms put in to make this.
Tangy Tomato is on the sour side for me, while Meatless Minestrone has many many ingredients, including those I don't like (eg. cauliflower). The meat in Simon & Garfunkel is a bit too tough for me, not the tender sort.
You can top up $4.80 to make it a meal (ie. + one more sandwich and a drink) but be forewarned, if you're not a huge eater, please don't do that. Don't belittle that bowl of soup, it has the ability to fill you right up for the whole afternoon if you're having it for lunch.
This was what my friend bought (she can eat quite a lot) - she topped it up to make it a meal:
Smoked Salmon Sandwich. To which this isn't as good as the specialised sandwich shops along Raffles Place but in itself, it's pretty good.
Boston Clam Chowder Soup. The taste is on the 'light side' and not bad. If I were to rank, it'll probably be the second best flavour after Velvety Mushroom!Overall the experience at Soup Spoon is really enjoyable and I'll definitely come back for more (and to use my discounted prices)! What a good marketing strategy.
