bamboo bowls which focuses on offering healthy food options, has launched its fourth outlet at Marina Bay Link Mall. This new establishment is strategically situated in the bustling Central Business District, catering to a diverse clientele including food enthusiasts, busy professionals, and health-conscious individuals. The outlet is designed to provide bamboo bowls’ signature tech-enabled experience while dishing out its selection of Asian-forward, chef-curated food bowls.
Diners can anticipate not only the delightful selection of food bowls but also a coffee bar serving a variety of beverages. Additionally, a retail section is available, offering an array of signature condiments. Bamboo bowls made their culinary debut in March 2022, with their first outlet at Far East Square. Their primary aim has been to revolutionise healthy dining by making delectable, chef-crafted meals easily accessible to everyone. Following this success, a subsequent outlet was launched in March 2023 at Plaza 8 @ Changi Business Park.
Driven by an unwavering commitment to sustainability and flavour, each meticulously curated bowl exemplifies their dedication to using only the freshest ingredients. These bowls are crafted without the addition of any extra sugar and incorporate ethically sourced produce whenever feasible. Furthermore, they are served in eco-conscious packaging, carefully chosen to be either compostable or recyclable.
Allan Shieh, COO of bamboo bowls shared that “The need for healthy food options for working professionals is more important than ever as individuals become more health conscious. The unique tech-enabled experience we have designed at bamboo bowls allows us to provide a fuss-free dining experience to professionals working in the area, without compromising on nutrition and quality of flavours.”
