A Poké Theory

Aye okay back with another post hahah so last Thurs before attending Project Açaí 's East party, I met up with Ki for lunch at A Poké Theory 👅👅 After procrastinating for more than a week LOL Let's get into it!

First off, it's situated relatively near (?) to Telok Ayer MRT so it's pretty easy to find with the help of our trusty friend, Google Maps LOL Honestly bless the person who created it 🙏🙏

Exterior


Interior





It has a very minimalist and studio vibe to it. It has a relatively large shop space to fit quite a number of people. We went at like lunch hour so wow it was like crowded with working people there o-o

Menu








Like many other grain bowl places, their ingredients are displayed through a glass cabinet.

The Food


I think they just launched a Gochujang flavored mix but we didn't try it that day! And let me aplogise beforehand, I stupidly took photos of the bowls without moving aside the toppings so our fish mix were totally covered LOL even though they were the main highlight. I'm so sorry ;-; 

Ki 's bowl
Ki went for their regular sized Original Shoyu Tuna 💸$11.50 with Signature Sushi Rice with topping of Japanese cucumber, wakame seaweed, nori flakes, cherry tomatoes and tobiko which she paired with a cup of Daily T2 Tea Infusion 💸$2 (ala carte 💸$2.50).

I love the tuna! Its shoyu marinade very nice plus it tasted very fresh! But hor guys, the tea just don't order la hahah diluted lor. I don't know man, something I learnt from my cafe experiences is that never order their tea drinks.. they're just not worth it.

Mine

Ki mentioned that she usually try their originals on first visits which made sense lol but I was much more tempted by something different. So I ended up getting their regular sized Avocado Miso Salmon 💸$12.50 with Lemon Herb Quinoa which were entirely blanketed by pineapples, cherry tomatoes, carrots, wakame seaweed, furikake and tobiko. I decided to get a glass bottle of their HEALTH juices 💸$5 of Sunshine Spritz as well b'cos I don't trust their other drinks lol.

I love my salmon 💓💓 It's as fresh as the tuna and the avocado makes it sooooo creamy heheh #shiokz And tbh their quinoa base was what made me wanna visit this poké place instead of others. For those who don't know what quinoa is,it's a rice substitute which looks almost like sand but bigger beads and is usually quite dry on its own. I don't remember tasting the lemon nor herb in it though 😶 but it's really nice with the creamy fish hue. 

OKAY WAIT OH OMG AT THE END I WAS WONDERING WHY THE HELL IS THERE A STRONG FLAVOUR IN MY BOWL BUT COULDN'T IDENTIFY IT. It's prolly cilantro omfg LOL fyi I hate cilantro hahhah okay then yep herb taste is 100% in there HAHAHH but mostly it's fine 'cos the other ingredients helped to mask the cilantro I guess. 

wow that sudden realisation after a week

The juice mainly just tastes like cold orange juice tbh NOT THAT ITS NOT NICE it is!! Just that I can't taste the other ingredients that were supposedly inside. And plus point of buying the juice is that you could keep the really pretty glass bottle!! wew hehhe 

They provide free plain water as well as extra dressings. toppings and sweeteners at the side!







I'm extremely proud that I caught this shot HAHAAHH This is a look of bliss HHAHA (she was looking at a very cute doggy video/picture I think)

Overall I really enjoyed my lunch there and would prolly go back there again next time!! They have dessert as well so maybe next time!! wew

Food: ⚓⚓⚓⚓
Ambiance: ⚓⚓⚓

We headed off the Raffles City afterwards to walk around and burn time before going for the party hahah. I love to walk around and talk nonsense with my friends tbh hehe By like 4 we ran out of places to walk and were tired so we settled at Dunkin' Donuts for a lil tea break. Ki initially just wanted to get a cup of coffee but since there was like this lil promo thingy that we can top-up $2.40 for 2 donuts and I was feeling a lil peckish so why not! It has been SOOOOOOO long since I ate donuts and omg yumz I had the strawberry glazed and strawberry cream filled one while Ki got the chocolate glazed and chocolate filled one. Mine taste just like how I remembered strawberry donuts to taste like - artificially flavored HAHAHAHA but it's nicee and the bread was so dense and chewy hue #softspotforbreads #anddesserts 

Okie that's all for todayyy byeeeee 💖
