It's all that we hope for. Big on taste, small on calories. (Don’t we?)
Plenty of greens toppings later and I am sold.
1 bowl of Poke (pronounced as "poh-kay") makes me happy and glee over the consumption of healthy nutrients.

The steps are fairly easy.
First, choose a base from three choices available: Lemon Herb Quinoa( sounds zesty enough), Sushi Rice or Romaine Lettuce.
Next, choose a 'flavor' to go with. This is where the protein comes in and you can choose from Tuna in Shoyu or Spicy Garlic Sesame. If tuna is not your thing, top up $1 more for Salmon in Spicy Mayo or Avocado Miso.
Either way the names have gotten me drooling already. 
Lastly, choose toppings to go with.
If you are not a fussy eater and love veggies, I suggest getting a mix of everything which includes pineapple, carrot, cherry tomato, cucumber, edamame and top with tobiko and nori flakes.
And there! A total insta-worthy bowl of wholesome goodness.
Aren't the colours gorgeous?
If the toppings are not enough, help yourself to more at the side bar,
Chili flakes, shallots, tori and the different sauces are all available for your spice up.
The Taste
We had a go at Tuna in Shoyu and Spicy Garlic Sesame and both were just as flavorful and tasty. Fresh tuna cubes thoroughly marinated and jazzing up the entire bowl with the desired flavors, a perfect match with the fresh veggie toppings.
Base wise, the quinoa stood out for being easy on the stomach and was punchy with each grain. The sushi rice was great too with hints of vinegar spice and garlic mix.
To be honest, both combinations were winners.
A Poke Theory also serves smoothie bowls which look promising enough for a return trip.
So till next time!
P.S: The young service crew were really friendly as well. Bonus points for that.
