SuperPower Salad @ Grll’d #FoodReview
I was out yesterday to have some fun and explore Ipswich, a beautiful city 40 km outskirt of Brisbane in Queensland.
So after a good swim (playing with water), at the Robelle Domain lagoon, Springfield Central I decided it was time for lunch.
After a quick browse of the different restaurants and cafes located in the Orion Springfield central mall, we settled for ‘Grll’d’, a cafe with specialty in burgers and salads. I had a cook glance at their menu looking for something healthy to eat. Grill’d as stated on their menu, “uses 100 % grass fed beef & lamb and chicken that is 100% free from antibiotics & added hormones”, so I fell in love with the brand philosophy and ordered the ‘SuperPower Salad’.
Ingredients.
Grilled chicken breast
Avocado
Beetroot
Almonds
Cherry tomatoes
Cos Lettuce
Carrot
Mint
Extra virgin olive oil
Quinoa (extra at $1.50)
Food came right on time after ordering, in fact I was looking at the chef through the transparent kitchen glass while he was preparing it.
I love the shape of the plate and presentation was cool.
I started to eat with an expectation for some ‘yumminess’ in my mouth.
The chicken wasn’t sweet, it was as if nothing (salt, spice) was added to it at all.
I also feel with the extra $1.50 I paid for Quinoa, there should be some good quantity in the salad but it looks it was just sprinkled on it.
Overall, for $15.00 worth of salad, my expectation was higher than what I got. An extra dash of olive oil would have made the salad juicer too.
I score the food 5/10.
The staff no doubt are good and friendly and the cafe setup was cool.
I will be back again to try a burger.
