Yummy, Satisfying Foods in Halal-Certified Restaurants

I love partaking of authentic cuisine in a restaurant that not only brings nostalgic feelings to the fore, but also adheres to strict hygienic standards. Halal restaurants in Singapore hit the spot as far as offering eats for people who want to live life well. Thank goodness there are now many of these in Singapore. Beyond the halal food courts and coffee shops, there are family dining establishments smack in the busiest neighborhoods or retail complexes like Tampines that are halal certified.

A good place to hie off with friends or family members is Seoul Garden Korean BBQ. My best friend’s family visited Singapore recently and we enjoyed the Korean-style barbecue buffet of Seoul Garden. Among various places to eat in Singapore, Tampines mall dining establishments have become rising stars. An example is Seoul Garden. We liked the coffee-marinated bulggogi. It was a winner! Other menu offerings that diners around us seemed to enjoy were the deep-fried chicken wings and pizzas. Diners in this halal restaurant went away full, happy, and willing to return again. At the end of the day, I guess the large number of repeat customers is one indication of whether restaurants in Singapore will thrive.

The atmosphere at the halal restaurant in Tampines is festive. The food offerings offered good value for money. After dining at Seoul Garden, it dawned on me that there’s more to Korean cuisine than kimchis. After my authentic Korean dining experience, I intend to venture next into an authentic Italian gastronomic journey. I spotted a family-friendly halal restaurant in Tampines, and I’ve marked it down as my next stopover among the many promising restaurants in Singapore.

Enjoying Halal in Singapore

Entertaining friends or clients in Singapore and looking for a halal restaurant? There are several restaurants serving halal food in Singapore. Seafoods, vegetable dishes, even meats that are butchered correctly, and delicacies made of natural ingredients can be classified as halal. Among the recognized halal restaurants in Singapore is Fig & Olive in Pasir Ris. This restarant, which passed the halal standards set by the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore, offers Mediterranean cuisine like chicken BBQ pasta and veggie dishes. The upscale bistro café also serves western, European and Asian foods.

Another option if you’re in East Pasir Ris is BBQ Chicken Restaurant which serves healthy foods cooked in olive oil (for a healthy kick) or barbecued. Discerning diners notice when quality takes a dip in restaurants they’ve been visiting, and they choose to explore better options elsewhere in Singapore. A good example of a must-visit food place for delectable eats is Rajah Mas Café located at the Orchid Country Club, 1 Orchid Club Road, Yishun. The restaurant’s black pepper chilli crab, big butter prawns and other succulent entrees are worth checking out.

Another must-visit dining destination is the award-winning Amirah's Grill Restaurant & Café, which serves exotic food fare like Turkish mixed kebab served with fragrant Arabic rice, mixed seafoods consisting of fresh mussels, squids, sea bass and king prawns, plus yummy desserts like the Basbousa originating from Egypt.

If you and your family or friends want to alternate your pizza and chilli crab food adventures with halal eating, hie off to the food courts for healthy picks. Foodies in search for good-tasting food options can also get to sample Singaporean halal dishes not just in coffee shops or fine dining Mediterranean restaurants but also at hawker stalls. Indeed, halal restaurants in Singapore that serve tasty and healthy cuisine are a welcome sight, both for Muslim diners and regular customers who are accustomed to non halal eats but looking for wholesome food options.
