I've analysed a few of the main dishes I ate. From this, I have learnt that chicken rice is high in energy, protein, sodium, carbohydrates and cholesterol. I have learnt that soya bean drinks do not have as much calcium as many assume they have. According to this, soya bean drinks and vegetarian fried bee hoon do not have trans-fatty acids and hence, can be considered somewhat healthy.
