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.

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.

Situated along Haji Lane, Moosh Softserve is the latest addition to the hipster street. Primarily serving soft serve (for takeaways only), this Muslim-owned soft serve shop currently has six flavours including classic flavours such as Strawberry and Blueberry.

Besides the classics, Moosh Softserve also offers unique dessert-inspired flavours such as Apple Crumble, S’mores, and the popular Ondeh Ondeh.

If you are looking for some refreshing sweet treats to cool off in the sweltering heat, Moosh Softserve is where you should head for.

The Ondeh Ondeh soft serve (Regular: S$4.50 / Large: S$6.90) features a gula melaka soft serve base, lined with pandan sauce and topped with desiccated coconut, coconut flakes and even more pandan sauce. Despite all the different elements added, the soft serve was extremely silky and creamy without being too sweet.

The Nutella Brownies Cheesecake Soft Serve (Regular: S$4.50 / Large: S$6.90) comes with a generous swirl of Nutella soft serve, topped with rich chocolate sauce and chocolate malt, and sprinkled with brownie crumbs. This was simply chocolate heaven in a cup, what more could we ask for?

Moosh Softserve offers pretty interesting and unique flavours that are neither overly dense nor overwhelmingly sweet. Conveniently located at Haji Lane, this is definitely a place to check out during afternoon shopping trips for a quick sweet fix.

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

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).

#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

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.

#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.

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.

Tucked away in the stretch of shophouses on Dunlop Street, Rouse can be easy to miss because of their simple shop front. But if you spot it and step into the cafe, the intimate setting will instantly make you feel at home. Rouse has a quaint industrial-style interior with beautiful low-hanging bulbs and art murals on the walls.

Looking for a cosy space with free wifi to get some work done? Rouse is a lovely Muslim-owned cafe with great fresh coffee, and the food served here are pretty wholesome too.

We like how the fusion dishes served here are nothing too far-fetched and still very easy on the palates.

Small bites such as the addictive Sweet Potato Fries (S$7.90) and Orange-Glazed Chicken Wings (S$12.90) are great options for a bigger group to share, but of course, we won’t judge you even if you order a serving for yourself.

If you are thinking basic cafe fare such as Eggs Benedict and Carbonara, Rouse took a step further and will delight with their fusion creations such as the Tandoori Chicken Linguine. Effort was definitely put in in this dish and we love the traditional rub and marinate to the chicken thighs to give it full flavour. The linguine was tossed in a lot of garlic and parmesan, for a bonus flavour-enhancer.

About the writer:
Cheryl is a staff writer for ladyironchef. She loves a good steak and an even better cuppa. She eats just about anything and everything. In her free time, she regularly starts on sci-fi or fantasy movie marathons.

When it comes to having supper in Singapore, Simpang Bedok – a stretch of halal eateries that open till late – immediately comes to mind.

Among them, Spize Supper Club is one of the most famous muslim restaurants serving halal food. Besides Simpang Bedok, it also has another branch at River Valley that caters to the hungry late night club goers.

If you ever find yourself hungry in the middle of the night, Spize halal restaurant at Simpang Bedok is probably your best bet.

It has a very comprehensive menu. From Thai food like Pineapple rice ($9) and Tom Yam Seafood ($10); to Malay food like Mee Goreng ($5.5) and Nasi Ayam ($3.8); and Western food like burgers ($6.5) and steak ($14.9) – there is something for everyone to choose from.

We started with the Spize Burger ($7.5) – chargrilled beef patty with sunny side up, BBQ sauce and cheese. The Mee Goreng ($5.5) came wrapped in an egg omelette. Both dishes were just fine – I mean, how badly could anyone make a burger and fried noodles?

My friend was raving about Spize’s Chicken Wrap ($5.5), so we ordered one to share. I definitely wasn’t expecting it to be rock-my-socks-off-good.

What makes Spize Supper Club so popular? I think it is a combination of cheap food, late night hours, and the atmosphere of eating by the road side. It is one of those places that you come back again and again for late night supper.

I am on a mission to try more Muslim food, so do leave a comment and let me know where are some of your favourite halal restaurants in Singapore.
