AFFORDABLE KETO-FRIENDLY HAWKER FOODS |
It’s actually possible to eat keto-friendly at hawker centres – it just requires you to ask for a special order.
There are certain stalls that are more low carb-friendly, offering relatively filling meals even without the carbs.
Do look out for hidden carbs, such as sauces and breaded fried items.
Bear in mind that you might need to order more dishes/ingredients to fill you up. |
