Toss & Turn: Healthy Option at Vivo City
There’s now a healthy option at Vivo City that is not too expensive. Wraps and salads and by the Cedele chain. I tend to go for the chicken wraps which were pretty tasty. Have eaten at this joint twice now.

#12. Sliced Fish Soup at Old Airport Road Hawker Centre
This is definitely one healthy Singapore hawker meal that I find delicious, but it has to be from Old Airport Road. I have to confess I prefer the fried fish meat version which is just a little bit unhealthier but … Continue reading

Why is it so hard to stick to a healthier diet. Well they do say that junk food can be an addiction as well, similar to crack cocaine stimulating pleasure centers in the brain. They say that about video games … Continue reading

#10. Crunchy Hard Bread
Had a relatively healthy dinner at home. I can’t exist without bread. I used to only like soft bread but I recently discovered that hard grainy bread is so much more satisfying.

Healthy and Vegetarian: Freshness Tofu Burger
This was surprisingly not bad. Real Silky Tofu was used, plus creamy avacado, lettuce and tomato. I would say a good healthy option, especially if you’re vegetarian. I guess this would be vegan too? Of course there are the usual … Continue reading
