Meat contains all the essential amino acids and proteins your body needs and is a source of iron and vitamin B12.
Singapore, July 10, 2009 - Eating a balanced diet is part of a healthy lifestyle – so there’s no need to position meat as the “bad guy”.
Meat contains all the essential amino acids and proteins your body needs and is a source of iron and vitamin B12.
The important thing is to eat it in moderation and incorporate two servings of fruit and two servings of vegetables in your diet daily. Here’s a variety of meat you can indulge in:
Pork knuckle (above)
The regulars of Orchildville – The Forrest Restaurant go straight for the signature Pork Knuckle. It is cooked thrice: deep-fried, braised, then deep-fried again to yield a flavourful and tender chunk of meat encased within a thin layer of crispy skin.
Wrap the meat in a piece of lettuce, and dress it with the fried minced ginger and the special sauce provided.
Where: 10 Lorong Lada Hitam(off Mandai Road)
Tel: 9739 9602
Chettinad chicken masala (above)
If you can take the heat, the Chettinad Chicken Masala served at Anjappar Authentic Chettinaad Restaurant should appeal to you.
One of the restaurant’s spiciest and most aromatic dishes, its distinct flavour comes from a unique blend of spices, onions and tomatoes. It comes in a dry or gravy version and goes perfectly with rice, chapatti, prata or naan.
Where:76-78 Race Course Road
Tel: 6296 5545
Suckling pig (above)
A popular dish at wedding banquets, suckling pig is a signature dish of Tai Seng Restaurant, which is known for its authentic Teochew cuisine.
The skin is the best part of the dish and people enjoy eating it for the thin and crispy texture. The meat is tender and usually seasoned to add some flavour.
Where: 101 Upper Cross Street, # 03-32 , People's Park Centre
Tel : 6220 3830
Kong bak pau (above)
Throw caution to the wind temporarily when you eat Westlake’s famous kong bak pau or braised pork buns. Slices of fatty pork belly are marinated in a mixture of dark and light soy sauces, oyster sauce, garlic and spices and braised till tender.
The meat and the fat just melt in your mouth, so you hardly need to chew.
Where: Blk 4 Queen's Road, #02-139
Tel: 6474 7283
Portuguese-style pork cutlet (above)
Tuck into this delicious one-dish meal at Chuen Chuen Café. Their popular Portuguese Style Pork Cutlet is a piece of breaded pork that is juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside.
It is served with a sauce that contains some corn and vegetables. This is something that will appeal even to those who don’t favour pork.
Where: 17 Upper East Coast Road, Crescendo Building
Tel: 6445 3164
Wagyu steak (top)
If you want to treat yourself to a good piece of steak, check out the wagyu steak at Flamin' Grills. This premium cut of beef doesn’t disappoint with its texture and flavour. It is best savoured medium-rare when the meat is at its juiciest. A simple glaze made from sun-dried tomatoes enhances the flavour of the meat.
