Nian Gao from Tung Lok
You might think we’re kidding since there seems to be nothing healthy about the Tung Lok Nian Gao that is always present during the festive season. However, it’s, in fact, the first nian gao in Singapore to be recognised by the Health Promotion Board (HPB) for its lower sugar content and as a source of dietary fibre. Coming in 4 great flavours: traditional, pandan, black sesame, and red dates, now that’s’ really something for your relatives to enjoy to their hearts’ content.
