No matter where you live, one constant is food and dining. For some people that could be pizza or burgers, but with more and more people deciding to live as cleanly as possible, the search for dining options can be a challenge. When you relocate to another country or even to another city, it takes time to find cafés and restaurants that offer healthy food that you will enjoy eating.
Many people think a clean-living lifestyle and healthy food involves nothing more than fresh fruit and vegetables. In short, salads. The good news is that dedicated foodies are always finding ways to turn healthy, fresh ingredients into culinary delights that please all the senses. The good news for the foodie in you is that there is an abundance of healthy restaurants in Singapore where the food is anything but boring. Here are some of our favorites.
