For a healthy post-workout meal, The Soup Spoon has got to be one of the best places for a health-conscious foodie to go! Not only do all the meals have a calorie-count next to them (so that you can make sure you don't eat more than what you painstakingly worked out previously), the "Make it a meal" options range from sinful (cakes and wraps!) to you guessed it, healthy (fruits and bottled water). This is definitely something that "Subway" needs to improve on, because what is the point have havi
Not only do all the meals have a calorie-count next to them (so that you can make sure you don't eat more than what you painstakingly worked out previously), the "Make it a meal" options range from sinful (cakes and wraps!) to you guessed it, healthy (fruits and bottled water). This is definitely something that "Subway" needs to improve on, because what is the point have having a healthy sub when you're going to pair it with unhealthy sides of soft drinks and cookies/chips?!
I opted for the Meatless Minestrone soup, which was a generous serving of tomato broth with potato, carrot, celery, macaroni, kidney beans, cabbage, zucchini, leek and basil that made it a healthy yet flavourful dish. It came with a side of whole grain bread to help fill all you carb-lovers out there. Simple yet filling, and at only 194 calories per serving, it definitely hit the spot. ;)
I initially thought that soup wasn't going to be enough for a post-workout meal (Yes, after working the treadmill!) so I opted to make it into a meal. I chose a salad, the Asian Tofu Salad and an apple for sides, and trust me when I say that the asian vinaigrette dressingis the best I've eaten, in my life. I kid you not, this dressing made the salad so much more palatable (because really, a bunch of leafy greens ain't gonna taste very good) and yet was still light and guilt-free.
Although it was mostly tofu, the other ingredients included mandarin orange, snow pea sprout, carrot, sun flower seeds and the coveted wanton crisps (yum!) and definitely complimented the tofu. In fact, I have to say, there was more tofu than vegetables in the salad so for all your veggie-haters, this is a good option to get your vitamin and fibre fix without much suffering!
The portions was very generous for the price, since I paid around $12 for the entire meal and it was a very satisfying and filling lunch. The only downside would have to be the fact that it was rush-hour and the place was packed with nearby office workers so it wasn't a very conducive atmosphere for a slow lunch with a gym buddy. That said, the view of Sentosa and the sea did make up for it, along with excellent service by the staff. So if you're in Vivocity and wondering what to eat, definitely check out The Soup Spoon. I daresay I'll be heading back to try the other wraps and soups soon!
