What Halal Food Should I Eat in Singapore? Muslim Guide

You should try these 6 essential halal dishes: nasi lemak (coconut rice breakfast), murtabak (stuffed pancake), satay (grilled skewers), rendang (coconut beef curry), biryani (fragrant rice), and roti prata (flatbread). Start at Geylang Serai Market for authentic Malay dishes or Little India for halal Indian cuisine.

You should eat biryani, roti prata, and fish head curry at Little India's MUIS-certified restaurants. For premium halal Indian food, you should visit Saffrons which offers the finest MUIS-certified North Indian cuisine with locations across Singapore.

You should eat at hawker centers where halal meals cost $3-8. Try nasi lemak ($4-6), roti prata ($1.20-2), gado gado ($5-7), and satay ($0.60 per stick). Geylang Serai Market and Tekka Centre offer the best budget halal food options.

You should prioritize MUIS certified restaurants - these have official halal certification with regular inspections, guaranteed no pork/alcohol, and halal-slaughtered meat. Muslim-owned establishments are community-trusted but not officially certified. Both are safe options for Muslim diners.

You should try iftar buffets ($15-25 per person) at mosques, visit Geylang Serai Ramadan Bazaar for traditional kueh and drinks ($2-8), or book Saffrons' special Ramadan iftar menu ($35-50). You should also try bubur lambuk (traditional Ramadan porridge) distributed free at mosques.

You should try MUIS-certified halal Chinese dishes like sweet and sour fish ($12), beef hor fun ($8), and halal dim sum ($3-8 per basket). Visit Shuang Long Restaurant in shopping malls or look for halal Chinese stalls in food courts - they use no pork or alcohol in preparation.

You should try traditional kueh like ondeh-ondeh ($1.20), kueh lapis ($2.50), and kueh dadar ($1.50) at Geylang Serai Market. For modern options, you should visit Polar Puffs & Cakes for MUIS-certified halal ice cream ($3-5) and birthday cakes.
