Nutri-licious

As the name implies, Nutri-licious boasts of providing its counsumers with healthy and delicious food. Rob and I first came across Nutri-licious when we got a sip of their refreshing Green Tea. Following the great taste was a very affordable price, and we were instantly hooked on their drink offerings. Just a stall at St.Francis Square, Nutri-licious basically just offered drinks and some pica-pica's; but we generally just got our thirst fix at Nutri-licious whenever we got the chance, their merienda offerings did not seem as attractive as their drinks.
We were surprised to see a new addition to their stall at St. Francis Square a couple of weeks ago - a new restaurant inside the mall, where you can actually sit down and try out some of their 'real food.'


Similar to their drinks, the food choices are low-priced; hence we were able to immediately try alot of their offerings. Of the dishes we ordered, what really stood out were the Squash Chowder Soup and the Veggie Spring Rolls. Garden salad was not bad as well. Squash Chowder was very thick and flavorful, it really seemed to be good for your heart. The Veggie Spring Rolls was also a great complement to the Squash Chowder, stuffed with good veggies and its outer layer fried to a crisp bite.

The pasta however, was quite diappointing, with the apparent lack in flavor and the different texture of the pasta. They use rice pasta, with carrots and spinach, but it didn't quite suit our taste. It's unfortunate that their pasta dishes seemed to be one of the highlights of their menu, given the varying flavor choices. Pasta dishes were also available in Meal (to share) and Solo (single serving).

Their desserts was also a feast for the eyes, but quite lacking in it's delivery. The cake used for the Mango Supreme was somewhat dry and lacked flavor, which the chocolate and mango syrup somewhat made up for.

All in all, although I wouldn't really recommend their pasta dishes, the combination of their Squash soup, Spring rolls, and Drinks is well worth the price and may already gratify your craving.
