Essentially a multi-way collaboration, bamboo bowls is dishing up healthy and sustainable bowls of Asian goodness in the CBD. Created by chefs like Mano Thevar (Thevar), Jowett Yu (Ho Lee Fook), and Bjorn Shen (Artichoke), the plant-based bowls also feature ethically sourced meat add-ons and low-carb alternatives.

The Tokyo ($10) pairs brown rice with miso eggplant and oozy ramen egg. For that protein level up, cut into a tender fried Salmon Katsu ($5). Love your noods? Get the Sichuan ($10) for its a fiery burst of flavour with hand-pulled noodles, greens, and chilli mushrooms.

bamboo bowls is located at Far East Square, 137 Amoy St, #01-03, Singapore 049965. Open Mon-Fri 11.30am – 3pm, 4pm – 7.30pm. To celebrate its launch, bamboo bowls will treat everyone who downloads the bamboo bowl app to one free bowl – valid for one month from date of download.
