The Best Healthy Gourmet Recipes In Singapore

Chilled sea cucumber with melon snap

Sea cucumber is known as an immunity booster due to its anti-inflammatory properties. But with its slippery texture and bland taste, it’s not exactly a crowd pleaser. Cook them in chicken stock and pair it with refreshing honeydew juice to perk up the flavour.

Mixed nuts and fruits with coconut crumble

You can go nuts, literally, over this recipe! Almonds, walnuts, cashews and pistachio nuts are rich in anti-oxidants, vitamins and monosaturated fats. Add the benefits of much-maligned coconut (think plump complexion and glossy hair) into the equation and this is one dessert you don’t have to feel guilty indulging in.

Spicy mackerel with feta-mint tzatziki in lettuce cups

The secret to beautiful skin is Omega-3 fatty acids, and mackerel actually contains a higher level of this nutrient than salmon. With its soft, oily flesh cocooned in crunchy raw lettuce cups and enlivened by a spicy sauce, this will get a thumbs up from your Mum.

Healthy tonic chicken soup

You may have pinched your nose while sipping it as a kid, but when your mum nagged you to drink soup because it was good for you, she wasn’t kidding. Black chicken soup is a healing broth— it nourishes the kidney, cleanses the blood and reduces fatigue. Riesling, with its sweet notes, helps to balance the herbaceous flavour.
