When it comes down to gourmet cuisines, it’s not always easy choosing the healthier option — especially in Singapore, where there’s an abundance of delicious albeit cholesterol-heavy foods.
If you’re like us and have a difficult time deciding between guilty pleasures or guilt-free dishes, then this particular dining establishment should be on your radar.
Carrotsticks & Cravings is a local restaurant specializing in healthy and nutritious menu items that doesn’t compromise on taste or presentation. Founded by Melbourne-born Terri-Anne in 2017, this Australian-inspired cafe concept has been a popular spot among the health-conscious, food-loving crowd. Since its opening, this eatery has expanded to include three locations, including at Dempsey, Robertson Quay, and Stanley.
But don’t expect to be served merely salads and smoothies. Like its namesake, Carrotsticks & Cravings is all about balance and has also become a fan-favourite destination for brunch and customized birthday cakes. Indulge in everything from a breakfast burrito to cream cheese smoked salmon sourdough to burnt basque cheesecake — those with special dietary requirements are also taken care of here.
In celebration of its 4th anniversary, this wholesome dining spot will be hosting a series of fun and exciting events across various locations on the island from December 6 to 11. Think self-care activities, heart-pumping workouts, virtual workshops, and tasty brunch. Read on for the restaurant’s full roster of birthday affairs next week.
