SINGAPORE – Google “healthy hawker meals” and some of the suggested dishes that come up include sliced fish soup and yong tau foo. 

But are we resigned to just these options if we want to eat healthy at hawker centres?

That is not the case, said nutrition experts that The Straits Times spoke to. Small tweaks can be made to hawker meals like nasi padang or chicken rice to make it healthier, said Ms Fionn Chua, Changi General Hospital’s senior dietitian.
