Indulge without the guilt–find out where to buy cauliflower rice meals
We know that searching for healthy, nutritious meals can be a struggle. Remember, though, that healthy eating does not mean depriving yourself of flavours, textures, and your favourite dishes. A well-balanced diet is the best way towards building a better you, and we are here to help! While we Filipinos absolutely adore a bowl of fluffy white rice, we are well aware that having too much of a good thing can be detrimental to our health (and waistlines). Check out these eateries that feature cauliflower rice bowls and full meals to help you reach your goals.
1. Hey Bo
Hey Bo, the sister concept of Salad Stop, is a go-to for those looking to eat healthy (and delicious meals). Their menu boasts a range of ready-made healthy grain bowls with a wide mix of proteins from vegetarian options to steak. In fact, the brand has become even more popular for its highly customisable options. At Hey Bo you can play chef and make your own bowl from scratch! If it's cauliflower rice that you are looking for, then you have come to the right place. Diners can opt for a flavourful cauliflower-lentil rice base with their pre-set menu items or make their own unique creation.
2. California Pizza Kitchen
California Pizza Kitchen may not offer cauliflower rice, but they do feature a unique cauliflower steak piccata: a breaded and pan-seared cauliflower steak served over linguini fini with a tangy lemon and caper sauce. For pizza lovers who need something lighter, try their California veggie pizza made with a cauliflower crust and topped with nutritious ingredients like broccolini, grilled zucchini, cremini mushrooms, and roasted cherry tomatoes. Additionally, the menu offers a 'Take & Bake' version of the California veggie pizza, allowing you to enjoy this healthier, veggie-packed meal fresh from your own oven.
3. The Wholesome Table
From their Thai rice bowl to their poke bowl, The Wholesome Table does not disappoint. Dive into their protein-packed healthy meals and feel guilt-free with a nutritious cauliflower base. You can rest even easier knowing that all their ingredients are organic and pesticide-free.
4. The Café Mediterranean
Did you know that at The Café Mediterranean, you can get your favourite falafel, or grilled beef, lamb, tuna or chicken rice meals but with a cauliflower base instead? Why kick your cravings when you can indulge healthily!
5. Healthy Appetite by Rhian Ramos
Actress Rhian Ramos spent a great deal of time working with her team to create a menu she can vouch for. With her delivery-only brand Healthy Appetite, you can find a range of nutritious meals. Try their tofu over cauliflower rice or tasty eggplant katsu with cauliflower rice.

Through the Calorie Club (another Cloud brand), you can enjoy your favourite Filipino food, like pork binagoongan, without the added guilt. Served over cauliflower rice, you will be sure to get your daily dose of vegetables while giving into your hankering for some salty, savoury binagoongan. They also have their own version of crispy eggplant katsu, also served with cauliflower rice.
7. Happy Garden Café
At the Happy Garden Café, you can order their Greek super bowl, which comes with cauliflower rice, stuffed squid, grapes, chickpeas, olives, walnuts, and tzatziki too! There is also Annie’s Shrimps, comprising shrimp, smoked fish, spinach, egg, and cauliflower rice.
8. Guilt Free
This brand was conceptualised by one of the co-founders of La Picara (which has since closed), along with other passionate foodies who share the same desire to eat well without sacrificing great flavour. At Guilt Free, you can choose from a long list of dishes with cauliflower rice or even shirataki rice or noodles. From nasi goreng to beef rendang curry, glazed salmon, or even paella negra and truffle paella—take your pick!
