S'pore's culinary scene, while delicious, can be a challenge for those watching their weight. Hawker food, a staple of the local diet, is often high in carbohydrates and unhealthy fats. A popular dish like chicken rice, for example, can contain around 700 calories, primarily due to the rice cooked in flavourful chicken oil. Many dishes are prepared with low-quality cooking oils, and meats like pork, commonly used in noodles and dumplings, are often fatty. Even seemingly healthier options like soup noodles can pack in 300-400 calories.
