MIX - healthy food with lotsa flavor

If you go down to the basement of Raffles City, you'll notice a relatively colorful shop tucked behind Gloria Jeans Cafe and Donut Factory. It's called MIX - Asia's first and only healthy-lifestyle Juice & Smoothee Café. As the name suggests, there's a huge variety of mixed juices catered for individual purposes such as detoxification and boosting immunity. I haven't tried the juices and smoothies yet, but what I really like are their wraps and sandwiches. They're fully packed with ingredients and totally bursting with flavor. Take the tandoori chicken wrap, for example. Its a delightful mix of tandoori chicken, cheese, salad and tandoori yogurt. What I love about MIX is that they provide the nutritional information for the food, so you know exactly what you're taking in. Despite the increasing awareness of nutrition, few places bother to state the nutritional value of their food. One should definitely try the bacon chicken avocado sandwich. The chicken is so tender, and combines perfectly with the avocado puree, which makes a sandwich so wonderful to bite. Not stale-tasting at all. At 390 calories, it's perfect for a light lunch. Prices are quite steep though - $7.50 for the wrap and $6.50 for the sandwich. Can't have it everyday although its healthy and tastes oh-so-good.
