Aiwo

Tried a new food outlet, Aiwo, at Raffles City. Aiwo means love yourself in chinese. It was tucked away in a corner of the shopping mall. Perhaps that was why I knew about this place from the newspapers, not from walking around the mall. The attraction of this place is that it promises to serve healthy food. It refrains from using any ingredients that are considered "unhealthy" such as saturated fat, high density carbohydrates, dairy, MSG and sugar. Sounds great, right? Especially for weight-conscious ladies like me.

We opted for the conveyor belt buffet. 14 dishes to choose from. each dish is less than 50 calories. Of course, as a buffet queen, i must sample all 14 dishes. Plus repeats of the more delicious ones. Slurp. the fish dishes were all pretty good: salmon, dory, grilled fish. The garlic chicken was better than the grilled chicken which was too dry. My favourite was the mushrooms. Ate five plates in all. Kept requesting for dawang to take mushrooms from the conveyor belt tat she wanted to take all the plates for me....

After a healthy meal, we proceed to eat healthy ice-cream at gelare. How we love to deceive ourselves. too much healthy food= unhealthy? but i did feel good about the low calorie buffet dinner plus the low fat ice-cream.
