Can a MAMAK be healthy?



Can a MAMAK be healthy? NO WAY, none of the MAMAK stall can be labeled as healthy one, but healthier! It is so individual how we eat at a MAMAK stall. I seldom order Teh Tarik or Teh Ais when I dine at a MAMAK, but  Limau Ais kosong, Horlicks kosong  or Susu Lembu. Some beverages claimed to be 'empty calories', by saying that Empty Calories are the calories from solid fats and added sugars in foods and beverages. They add to total calories, but provide no vitamins or minerals. If I choose Limau Ais kosong, at least the drink contain minimal amount of Vitamin C. After sport, I used to order Limau Ais kosong with salt to replenish the electrolyte loss during the exercise. But why Horlicks (Malt Drinks)? If you come cross its nutrition label, 'Horlicks' is actually fortified with Calcium and Vitamin D which are the essentials for our bone health.
