– Tasting Invite –
I had previously blogged about The Lawn at Biopolis and the customizable salads with mouth-watering grilled meats saw misterchewy and I revisiting the place again towards the end of last year. This time, Jonathan (one of the owners) invited us to review the menu at their second outlet, The Lawn at Shenton, which is situated within AXA Tower.
The shop space looks significantly larger than its first outlet and the vibe it gives is also different, somewhat more serious I would say. Well, not that it matters.
Hot Chocolate ($5.50)
Latte ($4.50)
Besides the three chef picks which are their top salad combinations, you are feel to create your own salad, which consists of a mesclun salad, 5 toppings and 1 dressing, starting from as low as $9.90. Currently, there are 26 different types of toppings for you to choose from, and my personal favourites are baby potatoes, pasta, egg, cashew nuts and parmesan. As compared to The Lawn at Biopolis, the price does not include grills, so you gotta add an additional $3 for chicken/vegetables, $4 for fish/duck/prawns and $5 for beef. A little pricey but The Lawn’s salads really pack a punch and will give the other salad shops in Singapore a run for their money. On the menu, there are a total of 10 grills. The char-grilled prawns with garlic were still as crunchy as ever and definitely won our hearts. Will talk about the dressings in just a bit!
This was Maureen‘s salad which was made more colourful and cheery with the addition of bright red juicy baby tomatoes. I think that the grilled black pepper duck breast became a bit dry and tough because we took too long to eat it but you can always pour some dressing on it. Still very yummy and flavourful, and in fact it was my favourite grill.
I didn’t get to try their olive rice the previous two occasions that I went. Olive rice, side salad and 1 dressing starts from $8.90, which is a dollar cheaper than the salad. Gotta love the olive rice for its fragrance while the rice grains were full and fluffy. In this photo, you see a beautiful piece of butter-seared pacific dory with parsley rub that was done so wonderfully. I wish The Lawn has more fish grills on their menu but there is only one!
The husband and I love mushrooms. The char-grilled mixed mushrooms were extremely juicy and definitely hit the spot! Super yums!
We also tried 4 other chicken grills namely chicken breast with maple infusion, char-grilled Cajun chicken, grilled teriyaki chicken and chicken breast with fresh herbs. I shall spare you the details but trust me, go for the Cajun and teriyaki. You will not regret!
WOW. The Lawn offers 12 types of dressings. We had SO much fun mixing and matching all the dressings with our grills! My top favourite is still Wasahonie. If you are absolutely clueless about which dressing to go for, the menu gives you an awesome guide on which are some of the dressings that will go well or great with certain grills.
We finally had the chance to try Peggy Chang‘s tiramisu from The Tiramisu Hero ($7.50)! I really love the tiramisu-in-a-jar idea and I think it’s just brilliant. The packaging is also very nice and great for parties or events.
The matcha cake ($7.50) was really good, with bits of azuki beans sandwiched between layers. Not too sweet, spongy and moist. Best enjoyed with a cup of hot tea. Bliss!
Just when we thought the matcha cake was good, the oreo cheesecake ($7.50) totally stole the limelight! Best oreo cheesecake ever! Sweet and savoury with a perfect crumbly base!
If The Lawn Salad & Grill Cafe keeps this up, it’s gonna take Singapore by storm!
