In short

Three months into a diet and stuck on a plateau, the writer ate alone on the 2nd-floor sofa seats at Prepers and ordered the Beef Cheongyang Perilla Oil Pasta (729kcal); the beef was well grilled with no tough bits, and the Cheongyang chili paired nicely with the perilla oil.

Wait... have you ever seen a diet restaurant this stylish? I heard there was a solo-dining diet spot near Sillim Station that's prettier than most cafés, so I ran right over. Turns out it's the famous chain Prepers Diet Food!

I'm already three months into my diet, and lately I'm in a plateau... with the occasional binge... kind of going back and forth. Whenever that happens, this is the food I think of: tasty but won't make you gain weight. Today I'm recommending the diet dish I licked the bowl clean for, my top-tier pick for eating out on a diet: Prepers!

Interior and seating on the 2nd floor of Prepers Sillim Main Branch

The 2nd floor of Prepers Sillim Main Branch is roomy and comfortable for sitting alone, so I strongly recommend it if you're looking for a solo-dining spot near Sillim Station.

Being on the 2nd floor, it gets lots of sunlight, and I think it's a lovely Sillim date spot for couples who are dieting too. The background music is calm rather than loud, so it was a comfortable place to eat.

Prepers pasta menu board

The best seller at Prepers is the rosé pasta, and the one I personally recommend is the new perilla oil pasta. When you think Prepers, it's pasta above all, right? Seriously, I've never seen a diet food restaurant do diet pasta better than Prepers.

How do the Beef Cheongyang Perilla Oil Pasta taste, and how many calories? (Highly recommended)

The ordered Beef Cheongyang Perilla Oil Pasta

The Beef Cheongyang Perilla Oil Pasta I ordered is 729kcal, the highest-calorie item on the Prepers menu. Still, those calories are packed with protein and fiber, so I think it's a better choice for dieting than regular food! I'm a dieter on a meal plan too, and eating this works well for preventing a binge. You all know that eating only very low-calorie meals can actually keep you from losing weight, right? haha

You know how looks matter quite a bit with diet meals. Dieting is sad enough already, and if the food looks meh too, T_T you've got no energy to eat. Prepers Diet Food Sillim serves diet food with lovely plating too, so I was really happy.

Grilled beef on top of the perilla oil pasta

Another thing Prepers does well has arrived, hehe. Prepers really grills its meat properly. Not one tough piece!! And the portion is generous, which is why Prepers Diet Food is my favorite diet-meal restaurant, haha. Let's load up on protein.

The spiciness of the cheongyang chili (Korean hot green chili) and the nutty richness of the perilla oil blend together really well. The whole perilla seed topping is so, so good too... and the perilla oil sesame? That's really tasty as well. I'm tearing up...

Verdict in one line

The Beef Cheongyang Perilla Oil Pasta is the dish I've cleaned the bowl of most this year. I think I'll succeed with my summer diet this year thanks to Prepers. I recommend Prepers Diet Food Sillim, a great place to eat alone near Sillim Station!
