Dining with the family on your cheat day? Suki Suki Thai Hotpot serves an eat-all-you-can buffet where you can choose from a range of soup bases and ingredients. Remember, not all soups are made equal: the Health Promotion Board recommends a clear broth, as this is lower in sodium. At Suki Suki Thai Hotpot, that means choosing its clear tom yum or chicken varieties.

Seafood is a healthy addition to any diet when eaten in moderation, and crustaceans are particularly good sources of magnesium. Not having enough magnesium in the body can lead to a host of medical conditions, such as muscle twitches and cramps. Orchid Live Seafood has plenty of seafood dishes but a must-try is its Teochew-style Live Lobster Porridge ($66). Brewed for over four hours, its broth is robust
and boasts the shellfish’s natural sweetness.

That vegetables have to be light on flavour is one of the biggest misconceptions about eating healthy.

Making your own deluxe burger at home? Here are some tips to make it a healthier bite:

• If you do crave meat, opt for leaner choices like chicken breast without the skin.
• Make your meal more filling with fibrous vegetables like lettuce and kale,
  and use a wholegrain bun to stay full for longer.
• Swap out the meat for a grilled portobello mushroom — it’s lower in saturated fat and calories, and is a nice change from the usual patty.
