If you’re on a keto diet, it’s essential to get your daily serving of healthy fats. Fortunately, Singapore offers plenty of restaurants and bakeries with keto-friendly menu items.

Start the day off right with their Keto Brekkie Bowl or Mediterranean Omelette. Or fill up on their chicken or barramundi Brown Rice Bowl for a satisfying lunch.

Mexican Food

Mexican cuisine is one of the world’s most beloved cuisines, beloved for its robust flavors, fiery heat and fresh ingredients. It’s no wonder why: each bite offers something delicious and irresistible!

Keto-friendly foods like this one are easy to incorporate into the diet since it uses fresh ingredients and doesn’t tend to be overly sweet or fatty. Common flavors include garlic, chiles and cilantro which all work together to provide a balanced flavor profile.

Mexican cuisine is not just tacos; it includes tortas, quesadillas, gorditas and chalupas (similar to tortilla wraps). There are also more exotic choices such as escamoles (ant larvae) or al pastor pork which has been marinated in hot sauce then sweetened with coconut milk and pineapple juice.

Singapore offers plenty of restaurants that serve delicious Mexican food that’s both keto-friendly and high in protein. In addition, these eateries provide other healthy choices like salad bowls, smoothies and desserts to keep you satisfied.

Asian Food

Asian cuisine is one of the world’s most beloved cuisines, boasting an array of dishes that are both delicious and filling. While ingredients and cooking methods differ between countries, rice remains a common element across all regions.

East Asian cuisine is defined by its use of rice, noodles, soybeans, beef, pork and chicken. Seasonings such as chilies, ginger and soy sauce add to the flavours in these dishes to further enhance their appeal.

Southeast Asian cuisine combines the cooking styles and ingredients from Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, and the Philippines. Common cooking methods include stir-frying, steaming and deep frying with seafood typically serving as the main protein source.

Some of the most beloved Asian dishes include sushi, fried rice, and bibimbap. These nutritious dishes help you feel full for longer periods of time, preventing hunger between meals.

Noodles

Keto eaters know that noodles are one of the best foods to include in a low carb meal. Not only do they provide protein and fiber, which are beneficial for weight loss, but they’re also easy to prepare and consume.

Here are a few ways to make noodles keto-friendly. First, swap out regular noodles for zucchini noodles (zoodles), which only contain 4 grams of carbohydrates per cup.

Shirataki noodles, made from konjac yam, make an excellent substitute for pasta. These soluble noodles contain high levels of glucomannan fiber which helps regulate blood glucose and cholesterol levels.

You could also try mung bean noodles, which are low in carbohydrates but high in protein. These noodles can be found at many supermarket chains and require minimal cooking.

If you’re in the mood for some noodles from Noodles & Company, their meal customization tool can help you cut back on carbs even further. Simply order a smaller portion and swap out regular noodles for zucchini noodles to keep your dish under 15 grams of net carbs.

Burgers

Burgers may not be the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of keto food in Singapore, but they can make for an easy and satisfying meal. Even fast-food chains like Sonic offer bunless burgers that are high in fat and low in carbs.

For those who prefer not to indulge in a traditional hamburger with ketchup or sauce, lettuce-wrapped burgers can be an attractive alternative.

For a more substantial meal, Kitchen by Food Rebel offers organic and clean-meat burgers made with sustainable barramundi. Their Asian sesame greens-infused chicken burger is also keto friendly.

Chinatown restaurant The Garden Cafe is renowned for its healthy and clean-eating menu that incorporates fresh fruits and vegetables with various meats and grains. Plus, they have keto-friendly sweet treats available too!
