Food Calories by Country
Singapore hawker food and Malaysian hawker food are mostly the same food with different spelling. Char kway teow, roti prata, kopi peng, cai png: same plate, same oil, same calories. This page pulls every dish you would find at a Singapore hawker centre or kopitiam into one place, plus the ones that are properly Singaporean like bak chor mee, kway chap, chwee kueh and carrot cake.
Calorie figures for the Singapore specific dishes are built on Health Promotion Board portion data (the standard hawker plate and bowl) cross checked against KKH and SingHealth dietitian numbers. Where the Malaysian and Singapore versions differ, the page for that dish says so.
