The Soup Spoon Union (Raffles City)

So very busy even though it's just the beginning of the year. But I did still had time to go to py's concert- Musical Delights XXXVIII.

The concert was not bad. It was quite cool that they had an organ player (my first time hearing one in real life). Ger and I liked the second half of the concert more as they played pieces which we played before! At the end, SPSB played two encores and one more piece to announce the graduating members which was quite a good idea. 

Now on to the food part. Before we went for py's concert, Jx, Cy, Ger, Marcus and I went to The Soup Spoon Union where it's a combination of The Soup Spoon, The Handburger and Soup Broth Asia Noodle Bar all in one place.

You take the menu at the entrance, get your own table before heading to the cashier to order and make payment.

Here's some of the content inside the menu. Asian noodles, burgers and western soup.

I ordered Stuffed Portobello ($14.80)- Oven-baked portobello mushroom stuffed with spinach, walnuts, parmesan cheese and beancurd, topped with breadcrumbs served with handmade tomato herb sauce on a bed of coral lettuce and a tomato on a toasted spinach with parmesan cheese bun.

The cross section of my Stuffed Portobello. From the bottom- bun, coral lettuce, sliced tomatoes, portobello mushroom, a weird 'patty' made of spinach, beancurd etc and tomato herb sauce. I had no idea what that green thingy was until I look at the description of the burger. The "patty' as I call it was mild in taste probably because of the beancurd and wasn't crispy even though there were bread crumbs. The mushroom was cooked well but would taste better if it was seasoned. Tomato herb sauce was good, it help made it easier to consume the burger.

Cy ordered THB Original ($11.80)- Grilled 150g of 100% NZ grass fed prime beef, sweet onion jam, cheddar cheese, handmade barbeque sauce on a bed of coral lettuce and a tomato on a toasted caramelized onion bun. The sweet onion jam was nice, it tasted like onions but also tasted like chocolate to me. Cy really like the burger. She also upgrade her meal(+$3.90) to get the mushroom soup. The mushroom soup was generous with the amount of mushroom in it. Every scoop would be filled with mushroom. However the soup itself was not flavorful which was quite disappointing. But Marcus and Cy were fine with. Only Ger and I were not.

Marcus and Jx ordered Pulled Pork ($10.80)- Slow-cooked fork tender pulled pork slathered with handmade barbeque sauce topped with crunchy mayoless slaw on a bed of coral lettuce on a toasted rustic bun. The pork was tender but the pork tasted like an Indian dish to me. Jx said that it tasted Chinese while Marcus was fine with it. Jx didn't really like the burger while Marcus said it was acceptable.

Ger ordered Chicken Caesar ($11.80)- Baked chicken thigh wrapped with bacon, fresh mozzarella, sauteed basil pesto mushroom, handmade ceasar dressing on a bed of romaine lettuce and a tomato on a toasted sundried tomato with olive bun. The chicken thigh was bigger then we expected. I like the chicken, it was well seasoned and not overcooked. To me it was the best burger that I tasted that day. If I come here the next time, Chicken Ceasar is what I'll order.
