In recent years, more and more people have been paying attention to healthy eating, regardless of which diet you follow, you should pay attention to nutritional information. Unfortunately, there are not many restaurants that calculate and list nutritional information. The café restaurant I-O-N in Central Market has launched a new Healthy Corner menu, each dish not only indicates the calories, but also provides reference values for carbohydrates (C), protein (P), and fat (F).
The dishes are divided into four categories. “Balanced meals” are suitable for most people without special dietary requirements, with the highest proportion of carbohydrates, followed by protein, and the lowest proportion of fat, such as “Tiger Prawn Spinach Pine Nut Asparagus Pesto Pasta” $198 (C:63 / P:33 / F19), the pesto sauce has a fresh and fragrant taste, and the shrimp is tender and chewy.
The second category is “Vegetarian Options”, featuring the “Avocado Vegan Sourdough Toast with Cherry Tomatoes” for $128 (C:72 / P:25 / F23). The toast is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with a simple combination of avocado and cherry tomatoes, topped with vegan cheese for a creamy and rich taste, served with hydroponic vegetable salad, adding a fresh flavor.
“Low Carb” means that the proportion of carbohydrates is very low. “Homemade Umeboshi Red Turnip Marinated Salmon” $128 (C:14 / P:17 / F:11), the salmon is marinated with umeboshi, rich in salty flavor, accompanied by okra apple hydroponic vegetable salad, providing a variety of different types of fruits and vegetables. “Grilled Chicken Breast, Avocado, Mixed Berries, Quinoa Hydroponic Vegetable Salad” $128 (C:35 / P:37 / F:32) is not overly rich in flavor, making it very suitable for those who focus on health and fitness.
The last category is “keto-friendly” dishes, low-carb and high-fat dishes include “Garlic Butter Grilled Sea Bass with Quinoa Roasted Vegetables” $238 (C:16 / P:33 / F:35), the fish absorbs the rich oil from the garlic butter.
The Healthy Corner menu is available daily after 3pm, offering substantial and high-quality dishes even in the afternoon. It caters to the needs of different customers. The Central street market is relatively quiet during weekday afternoons, making it suitable for quietly enjoying leisure time.
