Often, we get so caught up with work that no matter how determined we are to watch our weight, we find ourselves settling for a sinful meal at the most convenient fast-food outlet. It's as if there are no other options left for a healthy lunch. It is a vicious cycle, as we put off eating healthily for tomorrow.
While some of us allow a sporadic indulgence to wining and dining, others avoid eating out because most restaurants prioritize taste and portions than the amount of fat and calories in each plate.
For a satisfying and guilt-free meal, head on over to Cedele for a love affair with all things natural or organic. They offer a delectable selection of bread, cakes, pies, pastries, sandwiches, salads, soups, main courses and desserts with no trans fats and using only organic unrefined sugar while maintaining standard food presentation, and healthy-sized portions.

Start the meal with a
Mango Lassi (SG$6.50). The yoghurt-based drink is blended with mango juice and is both light and refreshing, a perfect cooler on a sunny day. It is rich in nutrients, vitamin C & digestive enzymes that help to process proteins & carbohydrates.
Whet your appetite with the rich and definitely flavorful
Curry Pumpkin Soup (SG$7.50 for a small bowl). If you find the tangy taste of the unique blend a little overwhelming to have on its own, you are encouraged to have it with the freshly baked bread, which can be found at the bread bar with unlimited olive oil.
For those who want to steer clear from carbs, go for the grills and greens that contain no carbohydrates. The
Sea Bass & Shrimp Tango Salad (SG$15.80) came in a pleasing portion that will certainly fulfill your hunger.
For those watching their waist, the Rosti Sea Bass (SG$21.90) with grilled aubergines, coriander tomato salsa & garden greens is a great deal that is packed with nutrition.
Of course if you like something more filling, partake in the
Rose Laksa Pasta. (SG$16.90). Inspired by the zest of the East and the best of the West, the pasta consists of spicy tomato basil pasta topped with shredded Burmese curry chicken & finished generously with garlic & shallot flakes. Far from being overly done and phenomenally good, this dish is sure to find its way into somebody's heart.
If you can't decide between dessert or tea, the
Earl Grey & Fig Ice-Cream (single scoop SG$3.50 Double Scoop SG$6.00) is your savior. This cooling, sweet and chewy dessert is sure to complete your meal and you'll be delighted to know that Cedele's ice-creams are made without eggs as they are vegetarian friendly.
