Dosirak

Dosirak has transformed traditional Korean lunch boxes into something truly modern. Their menu offers low calorie foods that include carbohydrates, proteins and vegetables to provide a nutritionally complete meal.

Food served here is a combination of family recipes and sous vide techniques, and free from MSG. All dishes are Halal certified and offer options suitable for vegetarians, vegans and pescatarians alike.

Dosirak was conceptualized by Chinese-Korean Edward Chia who sought to offer healthy Korean fast-food without the hassle. Consulting a certified nutritionist led him to use sous vide technology for cooking lean meat and vegetables without losing flavor – thus creating Dosirak!

Dosirak boasts several locations across Toronto, such as 313@Somerset and Downtown Gallery. Their signature dish is their bibimbap; served in tubs so customers can shake it to combine all ingredients before enjoying their delicious treat!

Stuff’d

Stuff’d is a Mexican-Turkish takeaway chain offering delicious kebabs, burritos, daily bowls, tacos and quesadillas that feature nutritious ingredients such as cilantro rice, cous cous and black beans. There is also an assortment of sauces and toppings to choose from on its menu.

Stuffed kebabs are a crowd pleaser at this restaurant, and also make for an effective calorie burner. Wrapped in a tortilla and filled with beef, chicken or Impossible meat before being drizzled in one or more sauces such as guacamole for extra flavour!

The Stuffed Kebab is their smallest option on their menu and measures in at just over two inches across, making it the perfect size to share among friends or colleagues for an ideal light lunch option.

As much as Singaporeans enjoy dining out at hawker centers and fast food joints, local ethnic cuisine remains their preferred dietary standard. Eating a range of food choices with guidance from a health coach and maintaining a balanced diet can help combat obesity-related diseases like diabetes.
