5 Healthier Choice at Mamak Restaurant
April 28, 2017
Mamak is a big part of our culture to many Malaysians. It has become a famous hangout spot for many students and working professions, including me. I remember spending a lot of time of my University life at a mamak, drinking teh tarik and having roti canai as my breakfast.
I mean everyone enjoys a cheap drink and food don’t we?
It’s no secret that Mamak is not the healthiest restaurant on the block. You don’t have to stop hanging out with your friends at the mamak just because you worry about getting fat — just eat healthier. These 5 food are among the best you can find in mamak store instead of Roti Canai.
1. Chapati
Capati is one of the healthiest options in mamak, and it is healthier than your favorite roti canai. This staple Indian flat bread is made of whole wheat flour, water, and a little oil and cooked in a skillet.
p/s: Whole grains are packed with nutrients, including protein, fiber, B vitamins, antioxidants, and trace minerals (iron, zinc, copper, and magnesium). A diet rich in whole grains has been shown to reduce the risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, obesity, and some forms of cancer.
2. Naan
Naan is a leavened flatbread that is baked in a clay tandoor oven, hence it is way healthier and less oily compared to roti canai which usually prepared on a griddle with lots of oil.
Compared to Capati, Naan is more fulfilling. If you are feeling extra fancy, opt for Garlic Naan or Naan Cheese.
Dekat Melaka ada satu kedai naan cheese sedap dia sampai boleh terangkat bahu iaitu kedai
3. Tandoori Chicken
Tandoori chicken is usually cooked in a traditional clay oven, and it is a better for your health than ayam goreng. This plate of goodness is a popular Indian dish consisting of roasted chicken prepared with yogurt and spices.
Usually, we eat this Tandoori chicken with naan for an extra satisfaction.
4. Dhall Curry
Instead of chicken or fish curry, opt for Dhall curry as it has higher fiber content due to its high protein content and sometimes the vegetables such as carrot, long beans, that you can find in Dhall curry.
5. Mixed rice
Mixed rice means Nasi Campur that we can choose the dishes served by the restaurant and it is self-serving. This one is a little bit tricky because you have to be really careful with what you choose. It is best to cut down on white rice and filled it up with extra vegetables, and eat only the lean meat (such as Tandoori chicken) and avoid the gravy.
But, I need to remind this that if you love mamak so much, going there once or twice a month is fine but it's not suitable to go to mamak stall every day or frequently.
