Top 7 Build-Your-Own-Salad Bars in Singapore
As a result of a hectic work schedule and stress-eating, salad bars have become one of the most profitable establishments in the F&B industry in Singapore, especially in and around the Central Business District. Among the varied salad shops, it is difficult to differentiate between the ones that have value-for-money, are in convenient locations, and provide the freshest ingredients.
Evidenced by research, Singapore could hit obesity rates of 15% in just 7 years. The introduction of salads bars is in a bid to contribute to solving the current challenges of obesity that has been associated with fast foods considered unhealthy. Despite an effort by some F&B establishments to introduce superfood salads, the quality of their food in terms of taste and attractiveness is still wanting.
Your long search for an affordable and scrumptious salad bar is over, with our list of the top 7 build-your-own salad bars in Singapore.
1. The Daily Cut
During the lunch hour on a typical weekday, you are frequented by the sight of people carrying a pink bag, with the word ‘Sustenance’. The average white-collar worker in CBD is no stranger to this staple. A nutritious quick meal that is worth every last dollar.
You might want to get here early as the endless line forms long before the lunch hour. Got a one-hour lunch break and don’t want to spend half the time waiting in line? Download Waitrr and order your lunch in advance to pick it up as and when convenient for you.
