Nutritional Profile

Nutritionally speaking, the analysis shows a generally good picture. This bowl contains 500 calories, which is perfect for a meal. It also has 45g protein, which packs a punch! There’s 2 teaspoons fat in the meal, and most of it is the healthy type. If you have diabetes or watching your carb intake, you’ll be pleased to know the carbohydrate portion is well-controlled at 50g (~3 carb exchanges). The only drawbacks are that the fibre is rather low at 4g (but not bad, considering there’s wholegrains in the meal!), which can be easily fixed by adding a vegetable side. The sodium content is also rather high, providing ~50% of your daily allowance. You could improve on this by switching the pickles with fresh veggies instead, as the rest of the ingredients are all relatively low in sodium.

Salmon, Soba and Wafu Salad

The second dish we tried was the salmon with soba noodles and wafu salad ($14). Sous vide salmon must be one of the most delicious proteins in the world! Imagine the beautifully rich taste of salmon in a soft and oozy oh-so-tender fillet. The aburi touch at the end and umami chewy kombu pieces top it all off. I like the thoughtful inclusion of a wedge of lemon to cut through if the salmon’s oiliness becomes too jelat. Additionally, tsuyu sauce and seaweed nicely sesaoned the soba noodles, while the wafu salad was really lovely with a zing from the carrot wafu sauce. It was slightly on the salty side, but you can always request for less dressing (of both noodles + salad) or on the side.

This salmon plate packs a chockfull of omega-3 fatty acids that are great for the heart, so the fat content is a bit high (at 5 teaspoons). But it’s definitely the healthy fats so it’s perfectly fine! This plate of goodness has quite little saturated fat inside. Despite the high fat content, the calories is still a good amount at 555, and it provides a sizeable chunk of protein at 41g. It’s a bit lower carbs than the chicken donburi. It also falls a bit short in terms of fibre content, but not bad at providing ~4g (~20% of one’s minimum fibre requirements). Lettuce tends to be one of the lower fibre veggies, so try mixing it up with or adding other options like steamed vegetables, beansprouts, steamed broccoli, grilled asparagus or edamame.
