Rollie Olie Poke Bowl

A few weeks ago I went with my friend to Pasar Bella at Suntec for lunch and she had ordered a Poke Bowl from a stall named Rollie Olie. If you don't know, a Poke Bowl is a Hawaiian raw fish salad that's often served over seasoned sushi rice. It's basically like a Chirashi Don from Japan, where you have raw fish ie. Sashimi on top of seasoned sushi rice. As far as I can tell the difference in Poke Bowl and Chirashi Don is that Poke Bowl is more of a salad with more leaves and other ingredients instead of just raw fish. Really my type of food. It's so refreshing and appetising. On that day my friend had ordered the Yuzu Bliss Bowl.

She had ordered the Poke Bowl with Tea Infused Rice and I tell ya it was da bomb!! It was sooooo good. The tea infused rice is unlike anything I've ever had, it didn't give you a big hit of tea. On the first bite you taste the sushi rice vinegar seasoning, then the end note you get a subtle taste of tea (Early Grey I think?) and so you just want to keep going back to it. The Yuzu sauce was also on point. It was so fragrant and refreshing.

So today, I finally had the chance to go back to Pasar Bella and straight away I wanted to order a Poke Bowl for myself. I decided I should try a different flavour and chose the Seoul Surfer for $13.95. It had Salmon & Tuna, Lettuce, Carrots, Radish, Cucumber, Flying Fish Roe, Seaweed, Sesame Seeds & Spicy Korean Sauce.

Picture Perfect! 

You can see the flecks of tea on the rice.

This was such a yummy lunch!! And I would gladly come back and order another Poke Bowl again. In comparison to the Yuzu Bliss, I think I prefer the Yuzu Bliss because although I love spicy food, in this instance the Yuzu was just so fragrant and refreshing and just paired really well with the contents of the Poke Bowl. Two thumbs up!
