Saybons (Plaza Singapura)

This was my first time trying Saybon’s Tomato soup. Initially was hesitant about buying it as the price seems a little high. Glad I actually bought it, as it was really worth it;D

The tomato soup is thick and creamy. It is rich with flavour and I could taste real tomato bits within almost every mouthful of soup I took. It brings out the taste of sweetness together with a mild sourness of the fresh tomato;D

And despite it looking small in serving, I get pretty full after finishing the whole cup of tomato soup!(:

This outlet is located at the basement of the Plaza Singapura. I think it is its clean and simple look that made me took a second look at them. Without the big banners or loud attractive words, they stand out from the rest of the stores with its open concept cooking. I pretty like this open concept idea as diners will be able to look at how their food was being prepared in full view. Diners will also feel safe to know that their food is prepared with the freshest ingredients in the most hygienic level.

They have placed some chairs outside their store to create a seating place for diners who wish to have their food seated down. However, I find the place bit too cramp for my liking. I would prefer a slightly bigger space to savour my crepe more comfortably. But come to think of it, it wouldn’t take much time to complete the crepe so believe the cramp seats will not pose too much of a issue. :)

They have basically two main types of crepes – the dessert crepes as well as the savoury ones. Few of their more popular dessert crepes include the nutty nutella and the banana madness. As for their savoury crepes, the popular ones are ham & cheese and mushroom & cheese. They also allow one to add in additional ingredients of their choice, which include valrhona chocolate, almond and hazelnut for the dessert crepes as well as egg and chicken for the savoury ones.

There are few things which I liked about their crepes. First, it would be the texture of the crepes which was surprising crispy on its outer layer yet soft in the inner layer. Next, the ingredients that were packed inside the crepes were not stingy at all. One will be able to taste the ingredients even till the last piece of the crepe. Lastly, the crepes were being packed with a cone shaped wrapper, which I think it’s pretty convenient to eat it on the go or people who are in the rush. However, I think “Saybons” would impress me further if they can make the crepe skin at the same time they prepare my crepe. This would ensure that the crepe skin used in every crepe would be fresh.

Out of both types of crepes, I personally prefer the savoury crepes as I felt that the dessert crepes are bit too sweet for my liking. If one is not sure what types of crepes to select, you may wish to follow their 'healthier choice' logo and choose one that is tasty yet good for your health. Beside crepes, they also sell soups (wild mushrooms, seafood bisque, tomato and broccoli & cheddar) and focaccia bread. A good alternative if you are sick of their crepes. :)

In any case, if you think that Plaza Singapura is too far for you, you can also get a taste of their soups in the selected golden village at Vivocity and Great World. :)
