About Us
Healthy Food Should Still Feel Shiok
At Shiok Makan, we believe healthy eating should never feel like a compromise.
Nutritious food should not be bland or restrictive. It should be comforting, flavourful and deeply satisfying - the kind of food that leaves you smiling and saying, “so shiok.”
​
Singapore is home to some of the world’s most exciting flavours. Rich spices, bold sauces and comforting dishes are part of our food culture. At Shiok Makan, we embrace these flavours while reimagining them with a healthier approach.
​
Our goal is simple: to make healthy food exciting again.
​
Familiar Flavours, A Healthier Twist
​
Our menus are thoughtfully curated to balance taste and nutrition, guided by the Healthy Plate concept.
With no added MSG, preservatives or artificial colourings, we take familiar favourites and give them a more healthy twist - proving that nourishing food can still be indulgent and crave-worthy.
​

The Founder
Diamond Quek, founder of Shiok Makan, brings together data-driven precision and culinary creativity to redefine healthy eating. A graduate of the National University of Singapore in Statistics and Applied Probability with a triple science background, Diamond discovered her passion for food during a student exchange program in Germany, where recreating Singaporean dishes sparked her vision of bringing authentic Asian flavours to a wider audience.
​
Her personal journey with weight management led her to pursue a nutrition certification, where she learned to balance health and taste without compromise. Drawing on her statistics background, she built a process-controlled nutritional database for every Shiok Makan dish, tracking macros from raw ingredients to plate. By applying the Healthy Plate concept and developing a sustainable, flavourful approach to eating, she transformed her lifestyle and achieved lasting wellness while enjoying the food she loves. ​
​
Shiok Makan was founded on this belief: that nutritious food can be bold, satisfying, and full of flavour. Every dish reflects Diamond's commitment to empowering people everywhere to eat well, live well, and savour the vibrant flavours of Singapore.
"The best healthy diet isn't the strictest one. It's the one you enjoy enough to sustain for life." - Diamond Quek
