| - Mmm basil box...so good, so filling, so....healthy? (Well it can be depending on what you get).
Immediately upon walking in you see the take-out style kitchen where veggies and meats are being prepared in the back and a plethora of cooked foods are ready for you to choose. The restaurant ambience is great - very contemporary and clean.
You start with your base with choices like salad, rice (jasmine or brown), or noodles. Then you choose your veggies (choose 2), protein (tofu, chicken, or beef), sauce (varying levels of spice), and finally toppings (like crushed peanuts, shallots, peppercorn etc).
Opted for a noodle tofu bowl with Penang curry (the spiciest sauce which in my opinion wasn't too bad - though I did need to buy a water). It was so delicious. And very generous serving sizes.
I was amazed at how fresh and healthy the food was. Despite being filling it felt light and easy on the stomach. And I love the options for vegetarians!
I suppose it's more on the pricey side for a lunch spot, but you may have leftovers for dinner/lunch the next day.
I'll definitely be back though just maybe not as often as I'd like. Still deserves 5 stars imo.
