THE NAUGHTY CHEF

The Naughty Chef believes that authentic Italian food should not be expensive. This can be seen in their menu choices where they serve up affordable, delicious Italian food at a fraction of restaurant prices. Here, they sell classic Italian dishes such as pasta, pizza and risotto. There are also desserts such as pannacotta and Baileys tiramisu.

There is no question that Singaporeans love to frequent cafés. While cafés are aplenty, unfortunately, many well-known brands do not cater to folks with dietary restrictions.

Thankfully, with growing social awareness over recent years, more establishments have started embracing the goal of inclusivity. Be it through attaining Halal certification or via Muslim owners doing their due diligence, there now exists a myriad of Halal-friendly cafés for us to explore.

Whether you are craving the comfort of brunch food with a side helping of freshly brewed coffee, or prefer something more hearty with a touch of local flavours, here is a comprehensive guide to 38 Halal & Muslim-owned cafés in Singapore to chill with your friends at. Time to pencil in your schedules; a plethora of food experiences await your discovery!

We can all relate to the pain of organising a catch-up session with your buddies that you haven’t met in years—busy with school, work and having to do OT makes it nearly impossible to find a common date and time for a meetup.

The only time that all of your friends are free is probably, well, in the middle of the night. And for some odd reason, our stomachs go empty when the sun goes down as do the shutters of most stalls.

Singapore is undoubtedly a food haven but what happens when hunger pangs strike you in the middle of the night? Fret not for we have sussed out 10 Muslim-Friendly Supper Spots That Open Till Late Night To Makan With Your Supper Squad. Apologies in advance for the weight gain.

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.

There have been more and more halal eateries popping up all around Singapore in recent months, which is great because that means more places to eat out with our Muslim friends!

A relatively new addition to that list, a must-try if you’re a fan of beef and Japanese food, is Gyunion. This humble hole-in-the-wall Japanese eatery sells authentic, Halal-Certified Japanese cuisine with ingredients that are directly sourced from Japan. So, if you’re looking for somewhere new to feast on some hearty Japanese food, this is definitely a place to consider.

Gyunion is the brainchild of 3 good friends who wanted to provide Halal Japanese food for the Muslim community.

This tiny restaurant was almost impossible to spot given its small size and there are literally only a few seats available, making it not the most ideal for big groups.

The first thing that we tried was their Gyu-men (S$8.90), which featured thinly sliced beef and onions with thin noodles soaked in a warm beef broth. We absolutely love the beef here! The beef slices were nice and thin, which helped it to soak up all the sauce as well as made it easier to chew. 

We were also advised to dress up the noodles with condiments such as shoyu sauce and Japanese chilli flakes according to our taste preference. Upon first taste, we understood why we were asked to do so because the noodles were a tad bit bland. 

We also tried their Gyu-don (S$7.90), which is a beef rice bowl. The portions were generous and we loved how the onsen egg gave the don a much creamier consistency.

For lunch, you can also pay $9.90 for a meal that comes with a drink as well as an onsen egg.

Gyunion is definitely a must-try recommendation from us if you’re looking for a no-frills, minimalistic place that serves up solid, authentic Japanese food. They are however only available on weekdays, so don’t go down on a weekend to avoid disappointment!

Read: 21 Halal-certified & Muslim-owned cafes and coffee shops in Singapore.

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.

#9 THE RAMEN STALL

The Ramen Stall’s opening hours caters especially to those dying for some late-night munchies. 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?

POPPY POPS

Most of us who live in the West should have already visited JEM, but how many of us are actually familiar with JEM inside and out? No one mentioned a hidden eatery located above Cookhouse by Koufu. If you think the fifth storey is the highest level in JEM, think again.

Poppy Pops actually sits on the sixth floor and is only accessible through the food court or the breezy rooftop located at the top of the shopping mall. If you are seeking a place with tranquil ambiance, sunlight and pleasant bites whenever you feel peckish, take a seat and grab a Poppy Classic along with the café’s Maple Butter Waffle.

One of the most underrated Japanese restaurants in Singapore is Ryoshi Sushi Ikeikemaru.

Tonkatsu by Ma Maison is our favourite tonkatsu restaurant in Singapore, and boy were we glad that it has opened a second outlet at Westgate. Gone are the days when we had to go all the way to town just to satisfy our tonkatsu cravings.

From the much-lauded Rosu Katsu (S$18.80) and Hire Katsu (S$19.80), to the Mameton Set (S$23.80) which comes with an assortment of your favourite tonkatsu and deep-fried ebi, every dish at Tonkatsu by Ma Maison is a masterpiece. We also highly recommend the Cheese Mille-feuille Katsu Set (S$24.80).

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. 

#1 ENAK ENAK HONGKONG TEA HOUSE

This halal dim sum eatery hosts a wide selection of tasty Cantonese tea snacks that will delight the inner foodie in you.

Opt to dine outdoors and soak in the oceanfront panorama while you savour delicious Siew Mai (S$3.50/3 pieces), Law Mai Kai (S$2.30), Har Gow (S$3.90/3 pieces) and Shanghai Steamed Dumpling with Chilli Crab (S$5.40/4 pieces) for starters.

#2 STREATS HONG KONG CAFÉ

With a whopping ten outlets scattered around the island, halal-certified Streats Hong Kong Café is a convenient spot to indulge in a dazzling array of dim sum classics.

The highlight of their dim sum—the dumpling’s crystal skin that is translucent yet sturdy. This intricate balance makes each bite even more satisfying than the previous one.

Opt to pair your dim sum treats with their Salted Egg Yolk Pumpkin Fries (S$7.80) or the all-time favourite HK Carrot Cake with XO Sauce (S$7.50).

If you wish to advance from the dim sum newbie phase, go for the Chicken Feet (S$3.90/plate), otherwise known as “Phoenix Claws”.

The selection of dim sum here comes with a unique twist to suit the local palate, as you would notice from the crisp Fried Siew Mai which is usually served steamed. Go on and savour unique items such as Braised Duck Cha Shu Bun and Pan Fried Taro Cake (S$2.90/ 3 pieces) before tackling the mains.

If you are feeling adventurous, go for unconventional dishes such as Original Rice in Superior Soup—with dreamy abalone or the collagen-rich Beef Brisket Noodles (S$12.90).

Sitting along the old-fashioned shophouses that line North Bridge Road is The Dim Sum Place. You won’t be able to miss it because it has this eye-catching bright orange awning.

This place doles out good Cantonese dim sum with a creative local twist that will allow you to sample a unique mix of flavours in a single meal setting.

The best part? It is halal-certified so our Muslim friends can enjoy the dim sum, too!

From the outside, this halal-certified eatery does not appear big enough to accommodate large crowds. But step in and you will realise how spacious the restaurant is.

We opted for a mixture of classic dim sum choices as well as some unique creations that are not commonly seen.

style="display:block; text-align:center;"

For starters, we attempted the Chicken Siew Mai (S$3.90/3 pcs) and Pan Fried Taro Cake (S$2.90/3pcs). The plating of the dishes was done really nicely. The Chicken Siew Mai was tasty and the sweet chilli dip that went along added a nice punch to the medley of flavours.

The Pan Fried Taro Cake arrived a tad dry but the chilli sauce made it better.

The next two dishes got us super excited—namely the Vermicelli Roll With Beef Rendang (S$8.90) and the Vermicelli Roll With Shrimp & Spring Onion (S$7.90). These essentially act as a modern representation of the typical Chee Cheong Fun.

style="display:block; text-align:center;"

data-ad-client="ca-pub-1199323522078805"
data-ad-slot="3885138539">

The Beef Rendang was tender and the spices really shone through the dish. The Shrimp option was superb and the special light sauce paired well with the crystal-like skin of the rolls.

We also tried the Congee with Shredded Chicken (S$6.90). Albeit its simple presentation, the stock of the porridge was the main star. Scoop up the warm congee and top it off with the shredded chicken. You will find this dish highly comforting.

The Molten Salted Egg Pandan Buns (S$4.90) and TDSP Cheese Tarts (S4.90/2pcs) were just what we needed to end the meal on a sweet note. The pandan buns did not have molten salted egg oozing out like how we’d like it, though.

Whether it is a casual gathering, fun slumber party or even a family lunch, you can jazz up your pizzas just the way you like them and have them sent right to your doorstep.

The slew of halal pizzerias dotting the island also means that you can even have your Muslim pals over without worrying about food options. Do note that some of the deliveries are only designated for specific areas based on their outlet locations.

Here Are 8 Halal Pizza Delivery In Singapore To Satisfy Those Pepperoni Cravings.

#1 CANADIAN PIZZA

Boasting a catchy “2 for 1″ tag-line, this budget-friendly pizzeria always rewards you with a free pizza for every pizza purchased. Not a bad deal at all right? With a total of 28 pizza delivery outlets islandwide, it shouldn’t take too long before your pizza reaches you.

Bestsellers include Hawaiian Classic and Meat Lover, just in case you cannot narrow down your choices from their exhaustive menu. If you want to take your pizzas up a notch, go for the gourmet selection and savour the decadent Quattro Stagioni which comes with premium toppings such as smoked chicken breast, beef bacon with black pepper, beef salami and turkey bacon.

#2 DOMINO’S

A 30-minute delivery time guarantee is what sets Domino’s apart from its other pizza counterparts. If your pizzas do not arrive within the stipulated time frame, a free pizza voucher will be accorded as a form of compensation.

The other cool part about Domino’s is how they have a GPS (Great Pizza Service) tracker that allows you to track the status of your order from the moment you place it right till it leaves the store. Did we mention that prices online are all nett with no further delivery fees?

You really cannot go wrong with any of Domino’s pizza flavours but do try their five unique crusts—Classic Hand Tossed, Crunchy Thin Crust, New York Crust, Cheese Burst and Cheesy Crust. They add a whole new dimension to ordinary pizzas.

#3 HAVEN PIZZA

This humble neighbourhood pizzeria started off by selling pizzas on school campuses. After receiving positive feedback, the business expanded to serving good quality pizzas for more to enjoy.

Although they do not have their own dispatch team, you can easily order pizzas from Haven Pizza via a plethora of food delivery apps such as Deliveroo and foodpanda. Fan favourites include the San Remo Special and Butcher Delight—perfect choices for all you carnivores out there.

Delivery Hours: 10am – 9pm
*Use Deliveroo/foodpanda/Honestbee Apps

#4 PEZZO

At Pezzo, choices are certainly abundant. You can opt to get a single slice starting from  S$4.50 and enjoy a small discount when you purchase three slices for S$12.90. A six-slice regular pizza will cost S$24.90 but the best part is that you can pick six different flavours—one for each slice.

Talking about variety, Pezzo clearly does not hold back and ascertains “a carnival in every bite”. With fun, unorthodox flavours being introduced seasonally, keep your eyes peeled for something a tad more adventurous.

Smoky Tandoori Chicken is the current trendy choice featuring a charcoal dough and velvety butter sauce, topped with perfectly-spiced tandoori chicken chunks—yum!

Even with the attractively low prices, the pizzas are of great quality. The homemade original PB Pizza sauce coupled with generous toppings make every bite worth relishing. Go for the PB Power Balls and Ultimate Cheesy Garlic Chicken. These two are clearly the front-runners!

Delivery Hours: 11am – 9.30pm (Sun to Thu), 11am – 10.30pm (Fri & Sat)

#6 PIZZA HUT

Pizza Hut is literally a part of most Singaporean’s nostalgic childhood. The frequent promotions (yes, all those flyers in the mailbox), numerous commercials and catchy jingle for their hotline are things all of us can relate to.

One significant point about Pizza Hut is with reference to their Hot Pouches that ensures your pizzas arrive hot from the oven. Choose from classics, favourites and speciality ones or settle for their array of hot deals.

Their value-for-money a la carte deal starts from S$23.80 for two pizzas. The signature here is the Meat Supreme and if you like your pizzas with a thin crust, you can enjoy them that way here. If you prefer something fierier instead, Salsa Beef, Spicy Chicken Delight or Black Pepper Seafood will settle that for you.

The hipster neighbourhood of Bugis abounds with chic cafes, favourite local eateries and Instagram-worthy desserts. The area surrounding the majestic Sultan Mosque, in particular, is where you can find an unbeatable range of drool-worthy Halal desserts.

Cracking your head over the next best hangout place with some of your Muslim friends? This list has got you covered with artisan pastries and divine cupcakes to mouthwatering buttermilk waffles. Oh yes, did we forget to mention the revered Chendol-flavoured soft-serve?

Brace yourselves for these eight Halal dessert spots around the Sultan Mosque that will redefine your idea of an unforgettable sweet treat.

#1 ALL THINGS DELICIOUS [HALAL]

When you step into this chic Halal-certified bakery cafe, the perfume of freshly baked goodies is enough to tempt you into second helpings. The array of novel creations—from the zesty Sticky Apricot Pistachio Cake to the Crackly Top Brownie—will leave you spoilt for choice.

Their desserts’ exceptional quality is maintained through the use of all-natural, wholesome ingredients. The generous cake toppings, moist sponge layers and made-from-scratch sauces will make for a wonderful tea time treat.

#2 COMESTIVEL DESSERTS [MUSLIM-OWNED]

This Muslim-owned hidden gem requires just a tad more effort to find but do not let its simple facade deceive you. We were absolutely mind-blown by their solid Nutella Cheesecake (S$8). The balance in texture between the smooth top, creamy middle and crispy biscuit base is surreal! Another Nutella must-try is the Nutella Snowy Brioche. One word—irresistible.

For those who are not fans of this heavenly hazelnut spread (are there even any?), fret not for there are other tantalising options for you to sink your teeth into. Mixed Fruits Pavlova, Thai Milk Tea Cheesecake and Pandan Gula Melaka slices are just some to keep your eyes peeled for.

Take note though, their bakes do sell out fast. The earlier you are there, the more options you have (and the bigger the dilemma).

#3 FLUFF BAKERY [MUSLIM-OWNED]

With over 100 cupcake flavours till date, the owners at Fluff Bakery are not afraid to experiment. This humble Muslim-owned cupcakery started back in 2013 and has garnered a huge following, explaining the frequent snaking lines during peak hours.

Coveted crowd faves include Durian Chendol, Triple Milo and Speculoos, with signatures such as Salted Caramel and Nutella Red Velvet that are constantly a big hit. At S$4 a piece, indulge in the spectacular burst of flavour with every bite.

#4 KONDITORI [MUSLIM-OWNED]

This Muslim-owned artisan European bakery is the brainchild of the team behind Fika Swedish Cafe and Bistro. Though it focuses more on takeaways, you will not be disappointed by the plethora of authentic loaves, pastries, tarts and cakes.

The main star: Swedish Semla buns (S$5.90). We love how the fluffy buns are generously filled with almond paste and light, fluffy whipped cream. The Blackforest Croissant puts up a tough fight with its decadent raspberry jam filling and generous chocolate shavings garnishing the top. You will have to try them out and be your own judge for this one.

#5 KUMOYA [HALAL]

As with every Japanese eatery, presentation and aesthetics are key. This is evident in Kumoya, a quaint cafe that doles out too-pretty-to-eat desserts. It becomes somewhat a sin to dig into the delectable treats. The well-crafted eclairs (S$3/piece) and kawaii yoghurt parfaits (S$15.90) will leave you squealing with delight. Alternatively, the colourful macarons (S$2.80/piece) and sweet pancakes (S$14.90) will leave your bellies full and hearts content.

The Yuzu Yoghurt Parfait is one you should look out for; the sublime combination of the light souffle cheesecake with the plain soft-serve yoghurt and yuzu sauce is sensational.

#6 LICKETY ICE CREAM & WAFFLES [MUSLIM-OWNED]

Located next to Konditori, Lickety Ice cream & Waffles offers egglet waffles adorned with rich ice cream and yummy toppings. Picture this: a waffle bouquet sitting pretty in a pink pastel-hued paper holder. The plus points of this Muslim-owned outlet includes being able to concoct your own combination of waffles, topping and ice cream.

For S$8.90, you get a waffle with a scoop of ice cream and a topping of your choice. Top up S$3 and you can upgrade to a waffle with double scoops of ice cream and two toppings. Between the red velvet waffle and the buttermilk one, we find the former more appealing. Of course, if you cannot decide, tuck into the half-half option instead.

As for ice cream flavours, challenge your palate to take on the more unconventional picks—Taro Yam & Coconut, Root Beer Float, Earl Grey & Fig and Cotton Candy Bubble Gum.

#7 OVERRUN.SG [MUSLIM-OWNED]

When the blazing heat in Kampong Glam starts getting to you, turn to this extravagant chendol soft-serve delight (S$6) sold at Muslim-owned ice cream parlour Overrun.SG. Durian lovers, you can jazz up your soft-serve with creamy durian pulp for an additional dollar.

The layers go like this—chendol soft-serve followed by Gula Melaka syrup and another swirl of soft-serve that is eventually sprinkled with green pandan jelly and coconut flakes. You get one final drizzle of that sweet Gula Melaka sauce.

Watch out for their weekly specials! We have seen Snickers, Ondeh Ondeh, Mint Choco Chip Crumbs, Thai Mango Coconut and good ol’ Bandung. What fancy option could they be introducing next?

#8 SINSEH: THE GROCERY [MUSLIM-OWNED]

From the experimental Muslim-owned cafe The Lab SG, their sister dessert branch welcomes you with an unusual range of sweet delights. Think Galaxy donuts (S$4), unicorn cupcakes and kiwi lime cucumber popsicles (S$2).

Of course, you have the usual waffles, ice cream and crepe cakes on the menu too. But it is not often you get to experiment with funky desserts right?

Read: 23 Halal-Certified & Muslim-Owned Cafes in Singapore.

Santap is a new muslim-owned cafe in Little India by the good folks from The Black Hole Group—who is behind Working Title and The Mad Sailors.

Santap, which means to eat luxuriously in Malay, offers a menu of healthy eats from sandwiches to stellar rice bowls. All of which are plated so beautifully that it would be a crime not to snap a shot of it for the ‘gram’.

Nestled within the newly opened boutique hotel, The Daulat—just a 5-minute walk from Rochor MRT station—this Muslim-owned cafe exudes a charming ambience and a cosy vibe that is just perfect for lounging about in the afternoon.

With both an indoor and al fresco space that is cool and cosy, Santap is a great spot for lounging or dining at any time of the day. Where space is concerned, the indoor space features only one communal dining table and although beautifully decorated, may not be ideal for big groups.

The al fresco area, on the other hand, is considerably more spacious and the breeze coupled with the easy listening tunes make it a great spot to chill at.

Featuring ingredients such as avocado, black beans, pineapple, red and white daikon and of course, a generous serving of fresh prawns, The Shrimp Rice Bowl (S$15) is sure to intrigue health nuts everywhere. It also comes served with aromatic brown rice that is spiced with things like cardamom and cumin.

The prawns were cooked simply with a garlic-infused butter which added a nice umami touch and played off nicely with the prawn’s natural sweetness.

For a more protein-packed meal, you can also opt for the Beef Rice Bowl (S$15) that comes with a whole range of wholesome ingredients, such as a poached egg, cherry tomatoes, corn, red onions, brown rice and alfalfa just to name a few. But the main star is the tender strips of lean beef.

The beef had a mild hickory smoke flavour to it, which went surprisingly well with their housemade Tonkatsu sauce, and the various veggie elements provided many different tastes and textures to brighten the entire dish up.

All in all, this dish makes for a pretty substantial (and healthy) meal that will have you feeling full yet incredibly pleased with yourself.

Every lunch set comes with a complimentary cold brew tea, and boy oh boy is it the perfect thing to have on a scorching afternoon.

We were really impressed that the baristas here use better quality tea and actually take the time and effort to garnish the drink properly, especially for something that’s complimentary.

One thing that all foodies can agree on is that we are constantly on a see-food diet and there is no stopping us when a feast of tantalising seafood is laid before us. The joy of getting down and dirty with crabs, mussels and prawns is so appealing and should this experience come at an affordable price tag, what is there not to love?

Located on Level 3 at the new extension of Plaza Singapura, Cajun On Wheels is a Halal-certified seafood diner serving unadulterated and fresh seafood in true American fashion. This is their second outlet—after their first food truck at Pasarbella Suntec City—and you would be delighted to know that their menu at Plaza Singapura is exclusive to that outlet too.

As its name says, Cajun On Wheels is a Cajun-themed diner and you can expect all dishes on its menu to pack a punch.

A UNIQUE DINING EXPERIENCE

As our mantra goes, why settle for less when you can have more?

An unconventional dining experience awaits at Cajun On Wheels, where you can order your food from a gourmet food truck. This translates to a fuss-free dining experience that is good for both solo diners and group gatherings.

MENU EXCLUSIVE TO PLAZA SINGAPURA

In contrast to their first outlet at Pasarbella, Cajun On Wheels at Plaza Singapura has taken things up a notch by with the addition of succulent beef burgers and platters for sharing to its menu.

And this month, this Louisana seafood restaurant will be introducing a few new seafood dishes. Excited? Yes, you should be.

FEAST WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS

Indulging in seafood is not the same if you don’t get your hands dirty in the process of ripping out fresh and juicy meat from the seafood galore before you.

Head down to Cajun On Wheels with your family and friends and partake in their incredible selection of seafood buckets that are great for sharing. Here is a little glimpse of what you can enjoy. 

POSEIDON BUCKET

You either go big or go home. Serious seafood lovers searching for big and bold flavours should begin your meal with the Poseidon Bucket (S$115) that would be good for sharing among 2 to 3 persons.

And we are pleased to tell you that the Poseidon Bucket (S$115) lived up to its hype. Comprising Sri Lanka Crab 600g, Prawns 300g, White Clams 300g, Mussels 300g, Sweet Corn, Potatoes and Chicken Spam, this is surely one value-for-money bucket that we thoroughly enjoyed. 

A tip from us is to pour out the Poseidon Bucket onto the table before you. Not only will it be a party in your mouth, it will be visually arresting as well. We enjoyed ours with Spicy Cheesy Soil.

Did you know that Cajun On Wheels only uses live crabs in its seafood dishes so as to retain the maximum freshness of each crab? This is how you know you are getting what you paid for. 

THE NAUGHTY PLATTER

The Naughty Platter (S$33.90) is another dish that is great for sharing. But if you are hungry (or naughty) enough, we trust that you could probably have the whole thing yourself.

The Naughty Platter comes with deep-fried squid, sea bass, tiger prawns and a choice of pilaf rice or aglio olio pasta.

THE INCRAWDIBLES

Now, let us present to you Cajun On Wheels’ latest addition to their menu—The Incrawdibles (S$42 for 500g, S$79 for 1kg). When we first laid eyes on the bucket, we were impressed by the sheer portion of crawfish that was served.

Like the Poseidon Bucket, unleash your inner beast as you feast over the red spectacle laid before you. The Old Bay Seasoning may look spicy but it is not. Its taste bore more resemblance to a slightly tangy tomato sauce immersed with a variety of western herbs. Delicious, in every sense.

FEAST BY YOURSELF

Even if your family or friends are not up to some seafood feasting, there is nothing to stop you from doing so. Cajun On Wheels offers various ocean boxes for individuals to eat like a king.

FISH AND TORPEDO PRAWN OCEAN BOX

The Fish and Torpedo Prawn Ocean Box (S$10.90 for a la carte; S$12.90 for a set) is one ocean box that allows diners to customise their own box and create their own seafood fantasy.

All you have to do is choose a seafood, a side (fries, sweet potato fries, purple coleslaw, corn, aglio olio or rice pilaf), and a sauce from Cajun On Wheels’ selection and you will be good to go.

SEA BASS FISH ROLL

Another new face to Cajun On Wheels’ menu at Plaza Singapura is the Fish Roll (S$13.90) which comes with a side of sweet potato fries.

Dished out with herb and butter sauce over the fish, the Sea Bass Fish Roll would be suitable for smaller eaters who don’t want to miss out on the quality of seafood that Cajun On Wheels has to offer.

CRUSTY C.O.W. BURGER LOBSTER & BEEF

As we mentioned earlier, Cajun On Wheels has added succulent beef burgers to their menu at Plaza Singapura and one burger to try is the Crusty C.O.W. Burger Lobster & Beef (S$39.90).

On top of coming with a 100% premium beef patty, the Crusty C.O.W. Burger Lobster & Beef also consists of half a lobster which makes this dining option worth every dollar. A ladle of butter herb sauce is layered over the fresh and juicy lobster and it made this dish so worth the indulgence.

Diners can also top up an additional S$3.90 to complete their burger with 1 drink and 1 side (Cajun fries, sweet potato fries or purple coleslaw) of their choice.

FULL SAMPLING OF ALL SIX SAUCES

For those of you who crave a little more flavour in your meal, why not top-up for one of Cajun On Wheels’ sauces? A total of 6 sauces are available for your picking, and this includes Singapore Chilli Egg (S$3), Chilli Crab (S$3), Salted Egg Yolk (S$3), Thai Red Curry (S$2), Butter and Herb (S$2) and Spicy Cheese Soil (S$2).

But our favourites of the lot have to be the Salted Egg Yolk and the Spicy Cheese Soil. The former was so creamy and rich but with the right amount of spiciness due to the incorporation of fried curry leaves and chilli padi. The latter was similarly as rewarding as its velvety texture and herb and spice flavours brought another dimension of flavours to the palate.

Rhombus Pizza SG is a new Muslim-owned pizza buffet restaurant that allows you to pick your own toppings, design the pizza of your dreams and bake it yourself. Create and eat to your heart’s content for 90 minutes.

Allow your creativity and appetite to take flight as you select from a wide variety of toppings from savoury sausages to sweet chocolate chips to create your ultimate pizza. The buffet costs S$15 for adults, S$12 for children between the ages of 7 and 12, and children under seven get to dine for free!

The shop space is rather small and despite only being able to seat a maximum of 10 diners at one time (yes, it is that small), it is still pretty cramped especially if you have to ferry to and fro from the condiments and toppings station. It is also good to note that reservations have to be made prior in order to get a seat here.

Like kids at a candy shop, we spent a great deal of time picking from the huge selection of toppings—with more than ten savoury toppings and seven sweet toppings to choose from. The usual toppings include ham, sausages, shrimp, pepperoni, capsicums, mushrooms, corn and a whole lot more.

The process is pretty straightforward. Slather on a thin layer of tomato sauce over the top of your pizza dough, add your ingredients and lastly, top it off with a generous handful of mozzarella cheese, after which, proceed to bake your masterpiece in the oven provided.

The centrepiece of every table is an adorable electric pizza oven. In order to cook your dolled up piece of dough, simply slide it into the slots on the side and leave it there to cook for 6-7 minutes and for the cheese to get bubbly and delicious.

No hearty lunch would be complete without a decadent and insanely rich dessert. Undecided on what we wanted to top our dessert pizza with, we went for everything—Nutella as the base, topped with chocolate chips, marshmallows, Oreo cookie crumbs, crushed corn flakes and rainbow sprinkles for good measure.

Overall, we had a decent time at Rhombus Pizza SG. Although the food itself was mediocre at best, the experience of crafting our own pizzas (and making a huge mess) with good company definitely makes up for it.

The pizza buffet at Rhombus Pizza is available at an introductory price of S$15 per adult from now until 31 August 2017. Please note that the usual price of the pizza buffet is S$18 per adult.

Jalan Kayu is a well-known street in Singapore, and apart from roti prata, it is also home to many established cafes and restaurants. An up-and-coming bistro in the row of shophouses that you should know about is Savoury.

For all our Muslim friends and those who are bringing their Muslim friends out for tea or a meal, Savoury offers Halal-certified mains and homemade gelato!

The bistro opens till late and there is no service charge. And most of the mains are affordably priced below S$20. This is a place where you can have a hearty meal without breaking the bank.

From now until 15 January 2017, our readers can quote ‘ladyironchef’ to get a free Crème Brûlée (worth S$11.50) when you order a main course. This promotion is limited to one redemption per table.

From the spacious interiors of the bistro to the elaborate decorative details on the walls, Savoury in Jalan Kayu has got it all right. It is the kind of place that makes you feel instantly at home, even if it was your first visit.

Their premium coffee comes from Common Man Coffee Roasters, which is famed for its coffee roasts so you know you must not leave without having a cuppa. Now, moving onto the best part—the food!

Since Savoury is a Halal-certified cafe, our Muslim friends can have anything they desire from the menu.

Expect to see a wide variety of options on their menu offering Western delights such as pasta, seafood and meat. Visitors have the option of topping up S$5 to complete their meal with mushroom soup and a drink when they purchase a main course.

PASTA

The Vongole Spaghetti (S$13.80+) is a light, yet flavourful pasta dish that had us digging our forks into it for more. It may look like a simple recipe put together but perfect timing, temperature and an experienced chef makes all the difference. This Italian classic is garnished with garlic chilli, parsley and extremely generous portions of freshly dug clams.

With the truffle trend not dying anytime soon in Singapore, we have been seeing an increase in various types of food choices being paired with it. You can imagine how excited we were when we found out that Savoury has also hopped on the bandwagon too!

For those who prefer something heavier on their taste buds, the Beef Truffle Linguine (S$16.80+) will not disappoint. The aromatic truffle smell hit us before we even took a bite, building up our expectations.

We are glad to say that everything from this dish turned out to be what we had hoped for—mouthwatering slices of beef tenderloin enveloped in rich brown sauce infused with truffle oil.

Other pasta choices on the menu include Black Pepper Chicken Aglio Olio Spaghetti (S$11.80+), Seafood Alfredo Linguine (S$14.80+) and Marina Linguine (S$14.80+).

MEAT AND SEAFOOD

Nothing called out to us more than the Lamb Shank (S$26.80+), looking all glorious while lying on a bed of creamy mash and doused in dark brown sauce.Lamb shanks can be tough if they are not well done but that was not the case at Savoury, for the meat was tender and tasted divine, especially when paired with the sauce. It was a clear winner for us.

Fans of duck confits can look forward to this timeless French classic here at Savoury. The duck leg is fragrant and juicy, hiding underneath a coat of golden brown crispy skin.

This delicious Duck Confit (S$15.80+) sits atop warm buttery mash potatoes and was served with an appetising orange-brown sauce.

The pan-fried Salmon (S$18.80+) had a very crispy skin and we heard a crunch as we dug into it with our knives—an indication of a chef’s expertise at whipping up a well-done salmon.

The Chicken Thigh (S$14.80+) features a pan-fried boneless chicken—tender when served warm to the table, and spiced up significantly with the lemon pesto cream sauce.

DESSERT

No one can say they made a visit to Savoury without ordering their Signature Waffle. You can choose to have one (S$14+) or two (S$18.50+) scoops of their iconic gelato on top of the waffle.

The fluffy waffle is made on the spot and served warm, complete with Chantilly cream, chocolate sauce and various fresh fruits that have been cooked in cinnamon sauce for an extra boost of sweetness!

Apart from the waffle, their dessert menu also encompasses the Mao Shan Wang Lava Cake (S$13.80+), Brownie (S$11.80) and Crème Brûlée (S$11.50+ for one scoop and S$16+ for two scoops of gelato).

And last but certainly not the least, anyone who steps in to Savoury would totally be drawn to the massive gelato counter. All gelato are handmade in house, and the recipes are created by the boss himself. They are definitely worth a special trip down to Savoury!
