Runner’s Kitchen

But in contrast to common perception where healthy food is just pure bland, unsatisfying, organic greens, Runner’s Kitchen actually invites guests to savour various culinary selections even meat, pork, and sweets. “Healthy eating also means ‘no’ to depriving yourself. Just learn how to pick healthier choices,” the owners said. “It [Runner’s Kitchen] is a cool space to hang out in and have smoothies, specialty coffees, and guilt-free desserts where people can get creative and zone out alone or bond with friends.” 

The restaurant has something for every type of diet—paleo, pescetarian, gluten-free, low carb, vegan, and many more.

A low carb roll for sushi lovers.  Raw sushi-grade tuna, cucumber, mango, sriracha aioli, coconut cream and ginger soy reduction. The spicy tuna quinoa roll hits the sushi spot bursting with fresh flavors minus the carb guilt.

A filling bowl of mushrooms, chickpeas, carrots, bean sprouts, cucumber, lettuce, cashew candy, tomatoes and quinoa tossed in house-made tahini. It’s the combination of raw and cooked veggies plus the thick tahini that elevates this dish making meat eaters accidentally fall in love with something vegan. You do have the option to put any protein you want on top just in case you need meat.

This dish features sampler sizes of our 5k, 10k and 21k Power Breakfast Rice Plates that they offer. Organic chicken tocino, grass-fed beef tapa and native boar sausage on a plate with black rice, an organic egg done your way and a side salad.

Pan-seared prawns, red radish, crispy basil and spinach with sun-dried tomato yogurt. You have the proteins on their own or you can choose between black rice, roasted sweet potato, quinoa or cauliflower rice to go with your protein. Per protein, the starch is cooked a certain way. For the prawns, your starch of choice is cooked with tomatoes, caramelised onions and mushrooms.

Spicy Mexican beans and grass-fed ground beef with fresh tomatoes, red onions, cheddar cheese and black rice in a whole wheat wrap.  Order this if you need serious carbs for a long day.

Gluten-free chocolate waffle mix with glazed bananas, coco syrup and cashew nuts.

“I normally ask people, ‘what do you spoil yourself with to make you feel better about yourself’ and some answer like shoes, bags, or clothes. Then I tell them that if you want to look and feel good, you could prevent yourself from being sick or being overweight by eating well and taking exercise,” King shared. “It’s actually a self-esteem issue. It’s the aspiration of living a better life that comes along with being healthy that I try to encourage everyone about. It’s not trendy and not expensive. It’s just something you want to do for yourself to be happy.”
