when you're on any diet, eating out can be a challenge. but it's particularly tricky if you're on the south beach diet (or any low-carb diet) AND you live in singapore. noodles and rice abound! all our favorite local dishes have carbs in them. think nasi lemak, mee goreng, fried hokkien prawn mee, mah chang, or even "carrot" cake. sometimes i wonder why the people here are so slim when all the local dishes are full of starch, sugar, and oil. maybe they only eat once a day? :P
however, i'm still glad to discover that a lot of family restaurants and diners do have low carb choices. even the restaurant at ikea! kenny rogers roasters is also a surprise -- they don't smother the chicken in gravy! in fact, there's no gravy at all! (trust them to pander to the health conscious singaporeans.) pepper lunch is also great, i just give the rice to the hubby, and eat the meat and veggies.
i still wish there was a restaurant here that serves south beach diet meals, like tinderbox in cebu does. but then again, i do enjoy the adventure of the hunt.

tinder box does? i know of one restaurant at ayala (I can't remember the name). in manila, you can get a week of sbd meals (3 main plus 2 snacks) for 1,800.
wow, that would be heaven, if i can just order the food and not cook! hahahaha! i do love cooking, but lately it seems i've done nothing but cook! one meal for vito, one for me, and one for manuel!
