Where the calories come from
- Fried rice combines a full plate of rice with wok oil, so it rarely comes in light.
- Kampung style adds ikan bilis and anchovy paste; the fried egg and crackers add more.
Lighter swaps
Skip the fried egg or ask for it boiled
A fried egg adds about 90 kcal; a boiled one about 75.
Ask for less oil and extra vegetables
Vegetables add volume; oil adds most of the fat.
Share and add a clear soup
Smaller portion, still a full meal.

How to read these numbers. Lab-tested figures are one hawker plate analysed in a laboratory. Database figures come from Malaysia's MyFCD or Singapore's HPB SG FoodID. Our estimate means we added up sourced components ourselves. Stalls differ, so treat every number as a guide, not a promise. Not medical advice.
