Came here in the afternoon after a gym workout. Figured I should keep with the healthy mode I was in. This place is one of those places you won't stumble upon since its located in Lee Theatre and there isn't a big sign or on the ground floor, so people that come here - come here with a purpose. I've noticed this place before when I've eaten at Sorabol (17th floor, best Korean btw). But after the gym, I just wanted something that wouldn't make me feel guilty....Food: Was still in time for
Food: Was still in time for the lunch set (12pm-4pm or so), ranging from like $40 to like $55 or so. Entree comes with choice of drink or soup. Every food/drink item has a calorie count and they are very in-line with the healthy theme!
Minced chicken, water chestnuts, mushrooms patty over this pink rice and veggies: Surprised about the huge portion. Didn't expect a patty either, but it was sooo goood - tasted like home-made Chinese pork patties - but a lighter healthier and might I add...tastier alternative! Water chestnuts was a nice touch to the texture. Also was drizzled in some sauce - but no matter, bc it paired well with the food. Also came with lots of fresh veggies that also tasted homecooked: cooked cucumbers, winter melon, broccoli, carrots, califlower! All very fresh and had a light sauce (wasn't the dry type) and went well with the chicken patty and the rice. The rice was a healthier option than white, but I forgot what it was exactly, it definitely wasn't brown, possibly red rice bc it was slightly pink with bits of red grains.
Sole filet over brown rice and veggies: Another hit! The fish came as a big white fish filet portion and came without any skin. It was seasoned well and cooked to the right temperature. Came topped with mango sauce with small mango pieces - wished they put more of this sauce since it paired well with the fish and veggies. The veggies were the same as above. I preferred the brown rice - I like the chewier texture.
Ordered apple tea and this was very refreshing and wasn't too sweet, only hint of sweetness. What I also appreciated was the fact this food was cooked with low salt!
Service: Average. Food took a little longer than expected, but after we saw our entrees, we knew why - this isn't one of those on the street joints where they throw together a dish - everything was very presentable and cooked fresh.
Sizing it up: I may be a bit excited about this restaurant (a good thing), but this may turn out to be my after-the-gym spot! I am not aware of any healthy-themed restaurants in CWB, not even a Subway's sandwiches.... The value of the lunch set was very good and the fact that they can make healthy food taste good just blew me away! And one thing I must emphasize was that I ate everything on my plate (except for half of the rice, trying to be low carb) and at the end I didn't feel "heavy" with food, which is a great feeling. Supposedly being like 60-70% full is a good full, I felt on the mark. In terms of seating, there isn't that much seating, but I think this one of those places that will do well with pick-up and delivery. Only had a taste of 2 lunch sets, but can't wait to try other things on the menu.
