Delicious And Relatively Healthy Food

[jw5]

Other threads have discussions about fast food, unhealthy food, health supplements, vitamins, illnesses, etc.

I thought I would start a thread on delicious and relatively healthy food, since nothing is healthy if not eaten in moderation.
This would be mainly outside food, since you can probably cook something delicious and relatively healthy at home.

Let me start with:
Thunder Tea Rice (which has been discussed before in this forum)
This consists of a green tea soup concoction eaten together with rice with a variety of vegetables, toufu, peanuts and ikan bilis. Many people pour the soup onto the rice, but I prefer to eat them seperately.

I think this is relatively healthy, so if anyone disagrees, please feel free to comment.

It's healthy but tastes horrible...... I think they got the recipe wrong...... This is a hakka dish and my grandmother cooks it differently....... Taste totally different from those that I've tried in Singkieland.

Btw my grandmother resides in Ipoh.

My choice of delicious healthy food would be caesar salad. This version is chicken caesar salad.

Ingredients:
Romaine lettuce
Croutons
Hard boiled egg
Grilled chicken breast
Crushed garlic
Ground black pepper
Parmesan cheese
Lemon juice
Olive oil
Worcestershire sauce

The 2 places I tried in SG tasted good.
The first is a stall in Amoy Street Hawker Centre.
The second is a coffee shop in Geylang, I can't remember which lorong, but I think it's quite near to the durian stalls.
The thunder tea soup was good enough to drink by itself, and the rice was tasty yet not heavy.

Caesar's salad is a good choice of a delicious yet relatively healthy food.

Another choice of mine is fresh fish soup. Tell the hawker not to add too much salt and oil.
If the stock they use is good and the fish is fresh, it's delicious.
Can eat with bee hoon or rice.

Yes, fish soup is probably the healthiest hawker food.

Do you know what is the name of the fish they use?

Salad is healthy, unless ou do not add any condiments & sauce, my sytem is not used to eating salad without eating anything else thereafter & in the morning I just eat salads...I head for the jamban..but I agree it is healthy. I had a friend some years ago maintaining a diet, ate Ceasar's Salad & whatever salad for years.

Just like eating fresh grass from the field. Tried once in Johor and yuck ! but many people eat there.
I prefer my teochew porridge and steamed fish.

Batang fish usually, sometime also grouper or promfret.:p

Most use mackarel (batang).
Some use red garouper or snakehead, but this is rare as they are expensive, I think.

I think a little condiment or sauce is ok, otherwise it would be plain and not delicious.
Go easy on the sauce, as they say.

Well, people have different tastes.
Teochew prorridge with the right types of dishes is also healthy.
Try not to eat the fried or salty stuff. Can still be a delicious meal.

Pomfret is very very rare these days, in fact, I would appreciate it very much if you could advise a hawker stall which sells pomfret fish soup.

If they do, they use frozen ones...which I belive if you buy from the fresh fish markets...these would be the lousiest grade, the ones next to throw in the dustbin.

I never liked the pomfret, wether they are white or otherwise...

Ikan bilis is no no for people with gout.

 

[devilblue]

Bak ku teh - Singapore type - whitish soup color with pepper-corn & star-anise taste only. Not those browny-color Malaysia type.

There is one shophouse along river valley road , be warned, it does come with a high price tag ! I think I paid $20+ for a big bowl enough for 3 ppl last year.
