Top Five Post-CNY Detox Options At Food Republic
Food Republic recommends its top five food options to combat the post-CNY guilt.
Feeling the post-CNY paunch from all the bak kwa and CNY goodies you have been indulging in? Fear not. To rid yourself of the post-CNY guilt, here are some healthier food options at Food Republic to compensate for it.
- Saladicious
Eating healthy need not cost you a bomb. At Saladicious, pick from any of their “Scoop & Go” ready-to-go combinations, which includes the Quintessential Pasta with sundried tomatoes and Greek salad. Choose between baby spinach and mixed lettuce for your salad base, and get creative with over 30 toppings including premium ones such as black pepper smoked duck.
Saladicious is available at Shaw House Food Republic. Prices start from SGD 5.90 for a basic salad.
- Steamed Gourmet
Give yourself a break from all the oily food and opt for nutritious, steamed ones instead. With high nutritional value and no MSG added, Steamed Gourmet’s dishes are prepared using the age-old art of steam cooking to retain the food’s natural flavours. Customers can look forward to healthy and tasty dishes and even opt for brown rice instead of the usual steamed white rice.
Steamed Gourmet is available at Causeway Point Food Republic. The Signature Sausage, Chicken and Mushroom is priced at SGD 6.90.
- Chai Original Sliced Fish Soup
Boasting long queues daily, the famous Chai Fish Soup is now available at Food Republic Causeway Point. Cooked with fish bones, ginger, ikan bilis and yellow beans for eight hours, the fish soup will certainly make for a light yet flavourful meal option. Inspired by Japanese cooking, the fish slices are dipped in beaten eggs instead of the usual flour-based batter before frying. The result is fried fish slices that remain crispy even when left in the soup for a while.
Chai Original Sliced Fish Soup is available at multiple Food Republic outlets. Prices start from SGD 4.80, depending on the outlet.
- Wen Wen Handmade Yong Tau Foo
Using only fish and chicken meat in their ingredients, Wen Wen Handmade Yong Tau Foo serves up healthy, lard-free Yong Tau Foo that is available either dry or in a soup. With a large variety of freshly-prepared ingredients, aromatic soup and accompanying sauces, expect to enjoy a guilt-free tummy-warming bowl of Yong Tau Foo at the stall.
Wen Wen Handmade Yong Tau Foo is available at Shaw House Food Republic. Prices start from SGD 5.50.
- Thunder Tea Rice
A popular local favourite with snaking queues every day, Thunder Tea Rice has been around Singapore for a decade now. Serving the Hakka Dish with a twist of local flavour, the Thunder Tea Rice is widely-favoured for its simple yet healthy and nutritious ingredients. Customers can expect to find a combination of tea leaves, basil, beans, tofu and brown rice in their hearty and flavourful bowl of Thunder Tea Rice.
Thunder Tea Rice is available at Suntec City Food Republic. Prices start from SGD 5.80.
