Health Promotion Board (HPB) Healthier Hawker Programme
Well known by food lovers for their scrumptious Malay fare, selected hawker centres at Geylang Serai, Eunos Crescent and Haig Road will now be celebrated for something else – offering healthier food choices without compromising on taste, price or enjoyment.

This is right after Yuhua Market and Hawker Centre became Health Promotion Board (HPB) first healthier hawker centre.


As part of HPB’s Healthier Hawker Programme initiative, a launch event took place at Eunos Crescent Hawker Centre.


The aim of this launch is to offer intervention solutions in the area of healthy eating targeted at traditional Malay cuisine, due to their casual relation with obesity, high cholesterol and high blood pressure among the Malay community.

Patrons can look out for various Healthier Choice symbols, logos or stickers to enjoy traditional Malay cuisine such as Nasi Lemak that are prepared with healthier oil and less coconut fat, which means reduced saturated fat.





Mee Rebus and Mee Siam, along with other Chinese delights such as Yong Tau Foo and Fishball Noodles are also prepared using whole-grain noodles and brown rice bee hoon.





Beyond that, Geylang Serai has also become the first Healthier Hawker Centres to go smoke-free, in support of HPB’s Blue Ribbon smoke-free movement.
