Gym food for the healthy at YOLO

SINGAPORE - (THE NEW PAPER) Since I resumed going to the gym, I have been attempting to eat healthy on my days off. It is such a bother, but one just has to give it a go.

Thankfully, options are plentiful and there is one more now: YOLO.

It opened in August and owner Alexis Bauduin, who came in third in reality TV series The Apprentice Asia, has a grand plan - take seemingly unhealthy food and make it healthy.

The sad truth is health food will always taste like health food, although YOLO certainly tries to disguise it. If you are looking for full and rich flavours, head to a hawker centre instead.

And eating here is just like being at the gym. Bauduin looks like a gym bunny and the music - which you can download from YOLO's website - makes you want to go for one more round of body pump.
