Since the 1st of April is here and Malaysia has opened its borders to international tourists, we can expect that Singaporeans who miss Malaysian food will be swarming the border to get to Johor Bahru to satisfy their cravings.
After being stuck in quarantine for years, many of us decided to start a new lifestyle after the quarantine was over, it's like a new year's resolution. Some may have decided to spend more time with family, some decided to save more money for emergencies and some decided that after almost 2 years of binge eating and binge-watching, it is time to start living a healthier lifestyle.
For those who decided to live healthier, sadly eating healthier was also part of the plan, so even if you want to satisfy your cravings, you have to do it with healthy food.
