No, poké bowls have nothing to do with a popular game universe that sounds uncannily similar. If you haven’t already heard, poké bowls are actually the latest health food fad to hit our sunny island.

If you’re new to the craze, poké bowls actually originate from Hawaii. A poké bowl (pronounced “po-kay”) is a concoction of rice, fresh vegetables, fresh fruit, nuts, soy sauce or spicy Ahi sauce and, naturally, poké (meaning raw fish) itself.

Nutritious and convenient, poké bowls are a boon for salad and rice lovers. They’re also low in calories but high in fiber, so one bowl is enough for an entire meal! Furthermore, poké bowls are also easy and fast to make.

In Singapore, several poké bowl joints have emerged in recent times. You could get your usual poké fixes there, or if you’re feeling like something different, many of them allow you to customise your bowl too.

Ready for a power lunch? Take a gander at some of the following poké bowls joints. Some of them offer delivery services too!

1. Aloha Poké

A post shared by Aloha poke (@alohapokesg) on

First on our list is Aloha Poké – one of the more famous poké bowl joints in Singapore. It was opened by two couples who wanted to introduce Singapore to this Hawaiian classic. Their servings are also incredibly generous, so you’ll be sure to get your fill!

Customers can choose between Salmon and Tuna Poké, and they also have poké-style burritos and alcoholic drinks. During peak hours, Aloha Poké can be really packed, so be warned: set aside a good buffer for waiting time if you want your poké fix then! Thankfully, however, the service staff at Aloha Poké are always efficient and polite so it’s always a joy eating there no matter what time of the day you go.
