One wonders how many more rice grain shops does the CBD need? As though as it is never enough.
Some of the newer shops must have taken a cue or two from the popularGrain Traders or The Daily Cut, trying to replicate their success.
Pickleville opened by the people behind Sarnies have also opened a rice bowl and toast focused café, but with a twist.

The name of the shop should give a clue.
As a note, the café is not in plain sight. When I made a visit anonymously (I did not think the service staff recognised me), I was asked the question of, ”How did you find us?”

After a tiring gym workout, I just ordered the Salmon Bowl without really analysing what it included.
It was really only after I took two big spoonful, then I realised the combination was fairly sour and even lingered for a while.
Ah… PICKLEville.
There were at least 4 ingredients that were sourish – pickled radish, pickled cumber, sauerkraut, and pineapple salsa.

Too much of a good thing can be excessive. Another friend commented it was well, like kiam chye peng (salted vegetable rice).
Beyond that, the salmon was mildly rich and fleshy, though the texture of the rice wasn’t fantastic – too dry.

The benefits of having pickles, especially when they are prepared in-house, include the probiotics and help in digestion. Perhaps having one to two fresh greens could help balance the overall taste.
