Standard calorie trackers fail on Asian food. They miss the lard in Ban Mian, the sugar in Sambal, and the oil sheen on Char Kway Teow. HawkerSense is a native iOS and Android app that uses Gemini's vision model with culturally-specific "Singaporean Intuition" to decompose complex hawker dishes into accurate macro breakdowns.
