  • 8 Unexpected Versions Of Local M’sian Dishes Made Healthy

    By Vulcan Post

    It is no secret that Malaysian dishes tend to be calorific, but that doesn’t mean that one should avoid these local delicacies completely.

    Even if you intend to lead a fit lifestyle and wish to consume dishes which are better for you, it is not reason enough to stay far away from our tempting Malaysian favourites. Hence, here are 8 unexpected versions of Malaysian dishes which are healthier for you!

    1.   Nasi Lemak

    Image Credit: Time Out Malaysia

    The traditional ol’ nasi lemak would rack up an average of 600 calories but you can expect a significantly lesser calorie count for Organica Lifestyle’s Quinoa Lemak. Instead of using coconut milk in its dish, the restaurant serves their bed of fluffy quinoa with tofu in vegetarian sambal sauce. This is served with equally healthy sides of an egg, cucumber and pine kernels.

    Organica Lifestyle

    Hours: Tuesday-Sunday, 10am-5pm.

    Address: 66 Lorong Maarof, Bangsar, 59100 Kuala Lumpur.

    Website: Organica Lifestyle

    Tel: 012-3408 565

    2.    Char Kuey Teow

    Image Credit: foongpc.com

    Char kuey teow is a dish often associated as a sumptuously sinful Malaysian delicacy, but it need not be so. At Chef Low Organic Kitchen, they serve black bean kuey teow instead. Black bean is full of fibre, and contains essential nutrients such as thiamin, magnesium, phosphorus and manganese, and to incorporate it into a starchy base like kuey teow is wise, because it not only cuts the calories, but also makes it a healthier choice for Malaysians

    Chef Low Organic Kitchen

    Hours: Tuesday-Sunday, 10:30am-9:30pm.

    Address: C- G-43, Block Camilia, Lebuhraya Sprint, PJU 6A, 10 Boulevard, 47400 Petaling Jaya.

    Website: Chef Low Organic Kitchen

    Tel: 03-7725 7154

    3.    nasi goreng

    Nasi goreng doesn’t have to be a hearty dish which induces heartburn. It could, in fact be light and delicious like the basil fried rice served at BMS Organics. On top of being delicious, it is also eggless, hence perfect for those who might have an egg allergy or prefer a vegetarian meal. 

    BMS Organics

    Hours: Monday-Friday, 8.30am-6pm.

     

    Address: 18, Jalan BP 5/11, Bandar Bukit Puchong, 47100 Puchong.

    Website: BMS Organics

    4.   Chicken Rice

    Quinoa is commonly used as a rice replacement and at Goodness Green Café, they incorporated the grain into their chicken rice wrap. They use a tortilla wrap to house all the goodness of a traditional chicken rice such as chicken breast strips, tomatoes, cucumber, nuts as well as lettuce. What makes the dish top notch is the fried shallots and ginger soy chilli dressing which adds just the right touch of savoury.   

    Goodness Green Café

    Hours: Monday-Wednesday: 8am-10pm, Thursday: 9am-10pm, Friday-Sunday: 8am-10pm.

    Address: 32, Jalan Datuk Sulaiman TTDI, 60000 Taman Tun Dr Ismail, Kuala Lumpur.

    Website: Goodness Green Café

    Tel: 03-7732 0235

    5.    Asam Laksa

    If you can’t live without the flavour of fragrant spices in your life but you’re not quite ready to give up asam laksa just yet, then Simple Life Restaurant might just be a safe bet. They use brown rice ramen as their starch, and the dish is also topped with fresh local vegetables such as brinjal and lady’s fingers on top of healthy proteins like tempeh.

    Simple Life Restaurant

    Available at several locations nationwide.

    6.    Daging Masak Hitam

    Even if you’re not a Sarawakian, chances are you have tasted this hearty dish once or twice and fallen in love with its peppery flavours. Though it may be a dish which leans towards being highly calorific, many can’t pass it up, especially during special occasions. One way to have a heart-healthy alternative is to sample Ashley’s By Living Food’s version which is served with raisins, acar, as well as a choice of bario rice or quinoa.

    Ashley’s By Living Food

    Address: 11, Jalan Telawi 3, Bangsar Baru, 59100 Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur.

    Website: Ashley’s By Living Food

    Tel: 017-325 3663

    7.    PAO

    Image Credit: Sitka Restaurant

    Pao is a typical tea-time dish for many Malaysians and it is hard to resist the deliciously warm dish, regardless of its fillings. The paos offered by Sitka are soft and melts in the mouth. They have several different savoury flavours to choose from inclusive of pulled chicken peanut miso bao, as well as twice cooked duck bao. Even with hearty fillings, the dish isn’t oily and the bao texture is soft and not too floury either.

    Sitka Restaurant

    Hours: Monday-Sunday: 9am-10pm.

     

    Address: 8-5 Jalan Batai, Damansara Heights, 50490 Kuala Lumpur.

    Website: Sitka Restaurant

    Tel: 03-2011 1117

    8.   Ais Krim Potong 

    Image Credit: Pops Malaya

    Ais krim potong is a dessert that many Malaysians would have grown up consuming. It’s a practical and cooling dish to have, especially with the local hot weather. Ais krim potong flavours tend to lean to traditional delicacies such as red bean and durian. Pops Malaya goes one step ahead in creating a healthier alternative by offering flavours like honeydew vanilla, hence making it a less sinful treat!

    Pops Malaya

    Address: Modvier Boutique, 6, Jalan Riong, Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur (Also available at several locations nationwide.)

    Being Healthy in malaysia

    HOW TO EARN AIA VITALITY POINTS

    Being healthy does not mean having to sacrifice your favourite meals, it is about making the switch to what is better for you in the long run. In the same vein, AIA Vitality is a programmewhich is better for you in the long run. Just like how a healthy nasi lemak dish can reward you with healthy nutrients derived from the quinoa grain, the AIA Vitality programme aims to reward its users with the system of AIA Vitality Points that can easily translate to lifestyle rewards

    You can earn points through simple activities like achieving 7,500 steps a day (50 points) or participating in organised sporting events (up to 1,500 points). The more points you rack up with your AIA Vitality, the higher your AIA Vitality Status and before you know it, you can check out with gifts and rewards from the plan such as 50% off your Fitness First membership!

    Sometimes, being healthy just requires a single step, and if a rewarding life is something which you wish to gain, then it really is as simple as filling up a form with your contact details, to get you started on a renewed and fulfilling lifestyle minus the gimmicks.

    Many often believe that being healthy in Malaysia is tough or even impossible, but with the AIA Vitality, it’s one load off your shoulder in becoming the fitter version of yourself that you deserve to be. Think of it this way: it’s as easy as making the choice of quinoa rice instead of nasi lemak—it is up to you which life you decide to lead after all.
