It's been an exciting few months for foodies, with many new halal joints springing up and longstanding establishments gaining halal certification (read: Poulet, A&W, and hopefully soon-to-be Pepper Lunch). The good news (or bad news for those overwhelmed by the number of places you haven't dined at), we've compiled a shortlist of the latest – some of the lesser-known – places to try out this weekend.
Add them to your list! Plan a day around them! Maybe plan something concurrent with your SingapoRediscovers itinerary. Just be sure to enjoy the wonders of our ever-growing halal food options in Singapore.
