Gut Almighty

Five restaurants in Asia that make healthy taste good.

Haoma, Thailand

We have probably heard enough of restaurants and their sustainability crusade, but Haoma's efforts shouldn't go unmentioned. As Bangkok's first zero-waste urban farm dining experience, vegetables, fish, chicken and cows are farmed, and rainwater is conserved for aquaponics and recycled via Nordaq water systems for guests. Which only means organic and chemical-free neo-Indian food made to impress, whether you decide to go a la carte, meat and seafood or entirely green. Wines are also organic and biodynamic, in case you were wondering.

Le Palais, Taiwan

If you believe in the power of bird's nests (we're talking about improving libido and strengthening your immunity and metabolism), Le Palais is the place to go. This threeMichelin-starred restaurant in Taipei prides itself on show-stopping Cantonese cuisine, which includes beneficial dishes like Chicken Soup with Edible Bird's Nest, Braised Loofah and Fish Maw Soup with Ginseng and Dendrobium Orchid. Loofah, for instance, is used for muscle pain, while the orchid is said to help lower blood pressure.

Restaurant Jag, Singapore
