Delcie’s Desserts and Cakes
Dieters with a sweet tooth are in for a treat at this 10-year-old bakery, famed
for its healthier bakes. Having gone on the keto diet herself in 2018, baker
Delcie Lam decided to research and develop keto-friendly dessert recipes for
her store. A trial of a keto-friendly opera cake was a hit with customers, many
of whom were on the diet. She then expanded her repertoire beyond cakes to
include items like Vegan Keto Double Chocolate Chip Muffin ($36 for a box
of 4 pieces), Vegan Keto Dark Chocolate Almond Bar ($18 per 100g bar) and
Coconut Almond Choc Chip Cookie ($32.80 for a tub). Pre-orders required.

The Whole Kitchen
In general, nuts are a good source of heart-healthy
fats, fibre and powerful antioxidants. Being high in
fat and protein, they are definitely on the approved
list for keto dieters – just watch out for some, such as
cashew and pistachio, that are comparatively higher
in carbohydrates. Others such as pecan, Brazil and
walnut are good choices though. The Whole Kitchen
has tasty snacking nut options, such as their best-
selling Rock Salt Rosemary and Laksa Leaf Lime nut
mixes ($5.95 per 60g pack). Besides those, the Pecan
Coconut Grain Free Granola ($5.95 per 70g pack) is
also pretty good.

The Butcher’s Kitchen
Burgers are usually off the table if you’re on a keto diet
as they come with carb-laden buns and sugar-laden
sauces. With the KetoBurger, what the restaurant
calls “Singapore’s first-ever keto-compliant gourmet
burgers”, dieters can have their, erm, cake and eat it too.
The meat-centric diner has collaborated with Seriously
Keto to present four burgers made with house-blended
Australian grass and grain-fed meat patties: Beef
($18.80), Pork ($16.80), Roast Pork ($17.80) and Chicken
($13.80). The burgers are said to be “zero sugar, gluten-
free, diabetic-friendly and ultra-low in carbs”, with
accompanying sauces that are made from keto-friendly
recipes.
