Hi all!!! May&FJ went for a little hike today with Joey and Phyllis around the Punggol Park Connector today. The weather wasn't being too friendly, hence we stopped half way instead of going further. We've walked about close to 4.5 hours by then. Not a bad for a workout under the rain. It's actually a rather nice walk; you peeps can consider walking as a form of exercise as well.

Anyways, May&FJ recently visited Toss&Turn @ Orchard Ion. It's a Salad, Sandwich and Soup concept by Cedele. Customers actually get to design their own salad. We were there at lunch hour, this place was filled with the working people and the queue was soooooo long; they even ran out of plates so they had to serve customers using the take-away plates. Here's a sneak on their menu. Both of us decided on designing our own "Salad" for $9 each, hence we paid $18 in total. The reason why we say it's a "salad" because instead of having a vegetable base, we had a cold pasta base. So it wasn't actually a salad literally.

FJ's "Salad":

• Consists of: Cold Pasta as a base, Sauteed Mushrooms and 4 marinated Prawns for deli/protein, and Onions and Carrots for Vegetables. 

May's "Salad":

• Consists of: Cold Pasta as base, Smoked Ham and 4 Marinated Prawns as deli/protein, and carrots and half boiled egg for vegetables.

Advantages:

• The cold pasta mixed with sesame seeds and black pepper was very delicious. They give a huge portion of it, so you're actually quite full. (May was SUPER full, and she never gets full that easily.)
• They were very generous with the smoked ham. It was slightly salty when eaten on it's own. It's perfect when paired with the cold pasta.
• The prawns were well cooked and marinated with black pepper. 
• The Sauteed Mushrooms came in a very reasonable portion and they were actually very tasty! 
• They actually provide you 5 dressings of salad on the side table: Pomegranate, Honey Mustard, Balsamic, Vinegar and  Cream/Mayo. Mixed seeds for the salad were also provided: Sesame seed, Melon seeds, Sunflower seeds etc. You can take as much as you want, because it's self-service!
• All items sold in nett price.

Disadvantages:

• The amount of prawns were too little, should have given a little more, maybe 6?
• They do not serve you generous servings of vegetables with an exception of carrots and corn. (May I also take the time to tell you all that if you intend to go on a diet, corn is definitely not your favourite vegetable in your vegetable list. It is high in carbo and vegetable fats.) We took the time to notice other people's orders, a lady beside me only had 3 pieces of Japanese Cucumber and a couple of Paprika Sticks. They should have been more generous with the cucumber at the very least!
• A side note on the Pomegranate sauce, it's kinda sweet so if you consume it in large amounts, you'd get sick of your salad very quickly.

Toss & Turn at this outlet do actually sell cakes as well. They looked good! Overall, May&FJ were actually quite happy with our "Salads". It is one place we would definitely make another trip down again and maybe this time try their given salads instead of customizing one; they looked sooooooooooo good.

That's all for our review! Till next time, see ya! Have a Merry Christmas!
