Make way salad bowls – it’s time for the Poke bowl to shine. Pronounced Poh-kay, this wholesome dish of Hawaiian origins has taken the culinary world by storm. Sold in practically every corner of Hawaii, Poke bowls have made their way across the pond into the land of foodies. But first…

… WHAT EXACTLY IS A POKE BOWL?

‘Poke’ is derived from the Hawaiian word fpr ‘slice’ or ‘cut’. This refers to the marinated cubes of diced raw seafood bathed in a scrumptious array of ingredients such as the delectably creamy avocado, crunchy onions and remarkably fresh cucumbers. When it comes to unsurpassed flavour, you can’t deny that Poke bowls are a cut above salad bowls.

With a wide range of ingredients and condiments to choose from, Poke bowls have evolved to become a firm favourite of the health conscious. Containing an average of 200 calories per bowl, Poke bowls are nutritiously jam-packed with a truckload of proteins and good fats like Omega 3.

If you’re exhausted of the usual leafy salads that leave you feeling more empty than before, it’s time to give the Poke bowls a go! Browse the gallery for our top spots for the best Poke bowls in Kuala Lumpur. P.S. Be prepared to jump on the bandwagon – you’ve been warned.
