Some lovely Sundays ago, I was very blessed to be invited by Calvin to attend the SouthWest CDC Healthy Food Hunt. This is a collaboration between OpenRice Singapore and SouthWest CDC.

After 1 month of public voting on Facebook, 2 stalls at 448 Clementi Ave 3 Food Centre have topped the votes under the list of healthier hawker food program. In 2011, Healthier Hawker Food program was introduced with the aim to allow Singaporeans to have easy access to healthier food when eating out. Currently there is a list of hawker centres/coffeeshops/foodcourts that are serving healthier food choices.

Simply keep a lookout for the above decals displayed at the eateries and make a healthier food choice today =)
So does adopting the healthier food choice mean less yummy food? Let me assure you they are equally good and don’t be surprised that some are actually from those familiar famous stalls you already know of.
We started with the famous boon keng wanton noodle stall which first opened in the 1980s. For anybody people who frequent clementi, you would have noticed this unceasing queue at the said stall. So what is it that attracted people to them?

| Ipoh Hor Fun ($2.50) |

| Dumpling Soup ($3.50) |
I love the fact that the serving of vegetables here is really huge. On top of that, every dumpling is filled with ingredients such as a whole prawn, marinated minced meat and crunchy water chestnut bits. IMO definitely one of the better dumplings served in town.

| Chicken Chop ($4.50) |
The chicken chop here comes with a choice of 3 types of sauces – satay sauce, black pepper and the normal brown sauce. Personally I preferred the black pepper sauce as it is really peppery with a lot of crushed black pepper bits. The satay sauce is rather unique as it’s rarely seen being served elsewhere. However I find it slightly too nutty that it masked the taste of the chicken chop. What I would like to highlight is that the normal brown sauce is not exactly ordinary as comparedto the brown sauce served elsewhere. It’s slightly sweet and has the taste that is more inclined to tomato sauce.

| Fish & Chips ($4.50) |
The serving portion for their fish & chip is also relatively big. On top of that, the batter covering each fillet is not too thick and best of all it comes with 3 sides. Definitely a value for money!
