Review of Mexican Burrito Wrap - Specials at Privé Asian Civilisations Museum by xinru-t
Basically the same ingredients as the Mad-For-Mexican Salad (beans, avocado, pumpkin, bell pepper, corn, jalapeño), but in a toasted tortilla wrap and with different dressing. Preferred the creamy and slighty smokey 'cheese' sauce and chipotle BBQ sauce in this wrap. Served with some salad greens, tomato salsa, and tortilla chips on the side. Btw this is now part of the regular menu, no longer a special! (Contains alliums, $19.50)

mrdonut Looks great! Heard Prive has a good vegan selection but any thoughts on the boycott some people have advocated for due to their reaction to the ex-CEO abuse of the teenage boy?Reply
xinru-t Hi! Honestly the food was only alright, there are other places to get salads and wraps. Desserts are no longer good too (I actually criticised the sticky date pudding, not sure if you saw that review). Came here because my (very anti-veg) family member was basically ready to kick me out of family gatherings. This place was the only compromise she could settle on for her birthday celebration. So while of course there are different concerns and priorities, sometimes one thing has to give. There's a book called Bad Feminist; likewise I consider myself a Bad Vegan - an imperfect one, trying to do what I can within my means. Anw personally I would give Prive some benefit of doubt since they have removed him from the CEO position. As individuals outside the organisation, we also won't know for sure what happened behind the scenes (e.g. possible miscommunication with HR / marketing department, etc) and we also won't know how legitimate the mental health claims are (e.g. could really be previously undiagnosed bipolar disorder).Reply
mrdonut Thanks for sharing and taking time to provide such a considered response! As a newbie vegan I think I understand some aspects of what you shared as even my wife is started to get a bit irritated with my “new diet” haha. Agree that we can only do the best we can and that we are only human - I was looking forward to eat at Prive as well but someone commented abt the incident, hence wanted to solicit some perspectives 🙂1 likeReply
