Inspired by the Moroccan city of Marrakesh, La Fez Café & Bakery is a new Muslim-owned cafe with iconic horseshoe arches, rose pink and gold interiors, and Mediterranean dishes.

Located next to the Chinese-Indonesian restaurant Kota 88 in Siglap, La Fez Café & Bakery is currently still in the soft launch stage and reservations are highly recommended.

On the menu, you can find a selection of All-day Brunch dishes including Riad Breakfast (S$11.90), Majorelle Shakshuka with Feta Cheese (S$19.90) and Kesra Avocados on Soughdough (S$18.90).

La Fez Café & Bakery is definitely an exciting addition to the growing list of cafes in the east of Singapore.

Affordable Soufflé Pancakes Cafe, Fluff Stack is now officially halal-certified. It’s probably the first Japanese soufflé pancake cafe in Singapore which is halal-certified.

One thing that definitely sets Fluff Stack apart from other soufflé pancake cafés has got to be the price point. While soufflé pancakes tend to be priced at a premium, the ones at Fluff Stack start from S$8.80 which is pretty affordable!

Fluff Stack started in Suntec City last year and it has recently opened its second outlet at Northpoint City.

SweeT.Rex at Alexandra Village Food Centre is another halal-certified soufflé pancakes hawker stall that you can try out.

Share the news with your Muslim friends!

Poulét Singapore French Roast Chicken is now officially Halal-Certified. Known for its Roast Chicken which comes in three different sauces (Diane sauce, mushroom cream sauce and cranberry sauce), Poulét is a casual dining restaurant that offers relatively decent French dishes at reasonable prices.

All Poulét outlets other than the location at Kallang Wave Mall have received their halal certification.

Out of the three sauces, we love their signature Roast Chicken with mushroom cream the most. And if it’s your first time dining at Poulét, you have to add on the side of Mash Potato.

While you may be there primarily because of their excellent roast chicken, it would be a pity to pass up on the Tiramisu, which is served in a jar. It is certainly one of the better tiramisus you can find in Singapore.

We’ve all been there. It’s late, the clock’s ticking, and no matter how hard you try, you just can’t sleep. Or maybe it’s another night of burning the midnight oil, latent stress of deadlines impeding your rest. Or perhaps you’re just a night owl, preferring to expand your energy when the moon is high in the sky. Whatever the reason, past a certain hour, after the remnants of your dinner has long evaporated, hunger pangs start once more, rendering ineffective whatever it is you’re trying to accomplish.

The next time this happens, instead of subsisting on yet another packet of chips, grab your keys and wallet, and head down to one of these Muslim-friendly late-night establishments. Better yet, call a few of your fellow insomniacs for a late-night food hunting session – after all, food always tastes better when enjoyed with others right?

Featuring everything from dim sum to full-fledged zi char restaurants – yes, there is more to Muslim-friendly late-night snacking in Singapore than your usual prata options – here is a list of 15 places that offer midnight makan menus suitable for our Muslim friends. Because when living in a food haven like Singapore, you should never have to go hungry regardless of the hour!

AL-AMEEN EATING CORNER [HALAL]

The north of Singapore isn’t exactly known for having a generous spread of food places to dine at, and this problem is compounded when you consider options available long after dark. Thankfully, Al-Ameen is here to provide late-night sustenance with their flavourful array of Indian food.

Even during the later hours, instead of settling for a premade prata, feel free to request for a fresh one to be made for you instead. For a light yet addictive snack, dip their coin pratas in your choice of curry for an easy-to-pop treat!

BOON LAY POWER NASI LEMAK [MUSLIM-OWNED]

Far in the West corner of Singapore is Boon Lay Power Nasi Lemak (BLPNL), a long-time supper favourite for those living in the vicinity. Contrary to your usual stalls, this stall’s queue mainly picks up after 10pm, when throngs of tired students and office workers start to congregate.

The longevity of this brand isn’t just from its monopoly of the West side’s supper crowd. So prominent is its nasi lemak’s reputation – their chicken wings are fried to golden perfection – that it is one of the only places in Singapore where you can request for islandwide delivery with no minimum order!

Feeling peckish past midnight and want some bite-sized items instead of an overly heavy meal? If you’re tired of settling for heavy and oily options, pop by food haven, Simpang Bedok, to satiate your hunger with some Halal-certified dim sum!

A rare sight to behold considering how most teahouses stop serving dim sum before dinner, Enak Enak thrives off the thick throngs of insomniacs that frequent its establishment. To help narrow down their offerings for when you next covet these morsels, start off with their Har Kow and Pan Fried Carrot Cake.

MAK’S PLACE – THE HAWKERANT [MUSLIM-OWNED]

While zi char stalls are aplenty in Singapore, finding one that is Muslim-friendly is a more difficult task. Add on the criterion of staying open past midnight and you’ll be really squeezed for choices. However, you live in the East, there’s one such option at your doorstep, Mak’s Place.

Standing out not only with its diverse menu of Chinese-Muslim dishes but also its scrumptious fare – the Butter Sotong is a must-try – Mak’s Place is a wonderful location for when you’re looking for something more substantial a tad after traditional closing hours. Fair notice: while the food is usually worth the wait, expect a slow service on most days.

R.K. EATING HOUSE [MUSLIM-OWNED]

For the ultimate late-night prata experience, look no further than R.K. Eating House. Sure, prata houses are a dime in a dozen, but what makes R.K. a notable exception is simple: abundant (really abundant) food at seriously affordable prices.

Most renowned for their tissue prata, for just S$5.50, you will be met with a magnificent towering behemoth drizzled in your choice of sauce or syrup. And yes, it tastes just as good as its more conservatively-sized counterparts. If that isn’t enough of a challenge, wash it down with an equally colossal 5-litre milo or teh tarik tower.

With a menu as comprehensive as theirs – Thai food? Check. Indian food? Check. Mediterranean food? That’s a check too. – it’s no wonder Spize is a magnet for supper food hunters!

Besides the usual prata options, Spize things up a little by trying their Mediterranean – the hummus is a surprisingly enjoyable number – and Thai fare. Alternatively, go for the perky Spize Burger, a favourite among the younger crowd for its easy-to-chow build and toothsome finish.

Sandwiches are a common-thread dish that literally every culture and cuisine in the world shares. They may come in different shapes, sizes, fillings and what not, but at the heart of it, a sandwich is basically bread, sauce and meat (sometimes veggies too).

Crafting a great sandwich, let alone a decent one, is not as easy as it sounds. You’ve got to balance textures and flavours, moistness and crunch. Everything, from the type of bread you choose, to the way you decide to prepare your proteins, your pickled elements and your vegetables, they all require careful thought in order to yield satisfying results.

Nestled within Camelia & Co, newly-opened Stack is a Muslim-owned sandwich parlour that serves up tasty, hearty and photo-worthy sandwiches. Creativity and a ballsy attitude are key attributes that have led them to come up with so many of their bestsellers.

THE MAKCIK

Nicely balancing moistness and crunch, we can understand why The Makcik (S$13) is a crowd favourite. Cooked low and slow in a fragrant rendang, the tri-tip develops a lean, fork-tender exterior, as well as a robust, heady aroma—just enough to give the sandwich that fiery punch of flavour without overshadowing the other components.

The rendang was spicy, as it should be, and the pickled onion and slightly chilled greens did well to provide a crunch as well as a brightness to the sandwich, nicely combating the richness.

BAMBOOZLE

Aptly named because the sandwich itself is so full of flavour that you’ll fail to realise the absence of meat, the Bamboozle (S$9) is a sandwich that packs formidable finesse and balance. The garlic aioli was light yet assertive in both aroma and taste and complemented the flavours of the mushrooms nicely.

A show of class in the way each and every individual component is executed, this umami-packed megalodon is something that we’ll likely make several return trips for.

SLEEPY NONNA

Besides savoury sandwiches, Stack offers sweet alternatives as well. The idea of the Sleepy Nonna (S$9) was just too hard to resist. Comprising a ripened banana, Nutella, crushed Oreos and Swiss cheese, all comfortably stacked between two golden slices of French toast, we just knew we were in for one heck of a sinful (but satisfying) experience.

It’s literally everything you could ever want in a bite, provided things like weight-gain and health issues were not a concern—and that’s saying a lot. Was it good? Absolutely. Would we get it again? For the sake of our health, probably not.

Most of their burgers are priced at less than S$10 and with such quality and low prices, it is no wonder that there are always long queues outside the stall.

With the ubiquity of Japanese restaurants and kiosks all around the island, it is pretty easy to suss out a decent spot to get your urgent ramen and sushi fix. Even though Japanese food tends to lean more on the use of seafood as its ingredients, the use of pork is just as prevalent—notably in ramen broths (yes, Tonkotsu ramen being a classic example).

In Singapore, there is a growing number of Japanese eateries that are catering to the expansive Muslim market. Just as delicious, these eateries dole out sushi, sashimi, udon, donburi, ramen and other Japanese gastronomical delights that are halal-certified.

Tucked away at North Bridge Road, ramen options here differ on two ends of the spectrum from soup-based ones to dry ramen. The level of spiciness is also varied according to preference (and pain threshold).

For those who have a predilection for all things fiery, you have to try the Volcano Ramen. The broth is boiled for a whopping 30 hours and most definitely packs a great punch. Game for a challenge?

The term “dim sum” has a literal translation of “touching the heart”, and this double entendre truly reflects the effect of savouring these bite-sized creations. Served in traditional bamboo baskets, there is a myriad of choices from vegetarian fillings to juicy meat ones.

The best part about dim sum is the fact that it can be eaten at any time of the day. In Singapore, there has been a significant rise in halal-certified dim sum eateries that cater to the expansive Muslim market. Our Muslim friends need not miss out on the good stuff now.

Here are 4 Halal Dim Sum Eateries in Singapore For A Scrumptious Feast.
