Popular Singaporean Dishes That Are Healthy

Otak-otak contains low calories while providing ample amounts of protein that help with weight loss and muscle building.

Roasted duck is another nutritious option that’s low in fat, as well as being high in iron, an essential mineral for both men and women. Furthermore, this dish serves as an excellent source of protein which helps build muscles while improving concentration levels.

Peanuts or dried anchovies are optional additions; some hawker centres now provide healthier versions that exclude these meaty elements altogether.
