Salad Stop Manila: the search is over!

You know you’re in your late 20’s / early 30’s when you love eating salads. There are days when it’s all I want to eat – breakfast, lunch and dinner. It’s probably my body telling me to detox from all the unhealthy food or because of my changing palette since I started juicing. Whatever the reason, I’ve been in the quest to find the perfect salad bar in Manila for the longest time.

When I was in Singapore, I discovered Salad Stop in Takashimaya during one of our food court dinners. It was on the steeper side price-wise compared to its chicken rice neighbors (around S$14 per salad bowl or wrap). However, their servings are HUGE and sometimes Emman and I would have to share an order. I was instantly hooked on their Cobb Salad Wrap. It’s so satisfying and tasted so fresh at the same time that I didn’t mind gobbling down a whole wrap by myself. Plus they have so many choices on their menu that you’d never get tired of coming back. Can’t really expect nothing less from a company that believes…

“We are not just a food chain. We are a movement that believes it is a basic human right to truly eat well.”

When we decided to move back to Manila after a year of almost weekly Salad Stop runs, it was one of the things I knew I would miss about Singapore (even more than the char kway teow!). So when Emman told me that Salad Stop opened in Manila, you could just imagine the joy (and relief) I felt! I was also pleasantly surprised that the prices here are 50% cheaper than in Singapore. No more suffering through brain-racking moments, thinking of what food I can grab on the go (that does not include a fake-healthy wrap from KFC). No more unsatiated cravings for grease-free, wholesome and filling meals. Because Salad Stop is heeeeere!
