1. Home of Seafood

Chilli crab

We’ve seen countless of huge Chinese seafood restaurants with fancy banquet tables and busy staff communicating with one another through their walkies. To our disappointment, many of these restaurants are not halal. Well, Home of Seafood is here to the rescue! Don't miss out on their award-winning Chilli Crab which has fresh juicy crabs coated in a thick and sweet chilli sauce and has just the right amount of spice. Plus, it comes with a plate of tasty fried mantou buns too which is so yummy you'll be craving for more. If chilli crab is not for you, check out their other splendid crab dishes like Black Pepper Crab and Salted Egg Crab! Live crabs are delivered to them daily, ensuring the freshness of the dish.

4. Nuodle

This halal-certified noodle restaurant is the place to head to for their authentic Chinese hand-pulled noodles! If you could try any dish in Nuodle, it has to be their signature Beef La Mian. For those who love soupy dishes, this broth is tasty but not too overwhelming. The handmade noodles are springy and chewy and has thinly sliced beef in a bowl of herbal broth. Top that with a spoonful of chilli oil and your meal is complete. Sounds like the best thing to eat on a rainy day.

Another dish you can't miss out on is their Beef Pancake. It looks almost like a flat curry puff and has a flaky crust with copious amounts of tantalising beef inside. This pancake is perfect as a side dish as you're slurping down the La Mian's delicious broth!

5. Delibowl

Delibowl

Brought to you by the same people behind Nuodle, Delibowl serves up authentic Sichuan-style dumplings and dishes you'll fall in love with in just one bite! Their Paya Lebar Square outlet has Chinese dishes such as Mapo Tofu, Steamed Chicken In Chilli Sauce, and Stewed Beef Brisket with Tomato. The dishes are packed full of flavour, and can even be a bit on the salty side at times - but the bowl of freshly cooked rice will balance it out. They also have a smaller outlet at Funan serving up the same thing!

Delibowl dishes

If you're not in the mood for dishes, head over to Singpost Centre instead for their Sichuan-style dumplings and noodles! Their Sour Soup Dumplings are a Sichuan speciality and a must-try! Their dumplings are all hand-made and arrive piping hot. Order their Mushroom Chicken Noodles too - made with soft Mee Sua noodles, the gravy is light and salty without being too overpowering.

6. Habib Family Restaurant

You may have seen countless Bak Kut Teh stalls with queues winding down the block, or even dried Bak Kut Teh spice packets sold in grocery stores. Bak Kut Teh is traditionally known for having pork but thanks to Habib Family Restaurant, you can now have the opportunity to savour halal Bak Kut Teh! For the uninitiated, "bak kut teh" actually means "meat bone tea" though it actually doesn't have any tea in it.

Bak Kut Teh

You may opt for their beef or lamb Bak Kut Teh and have it on its own or in a set which comes with rice, omelette, kang kong and chilli paste. This will be a peculiar experience for your taste buds, especially when the only thing you’ve ever related to Bak Kut Teh is the non-halal version. The traditional herbs in the broth balances out the gaminess of the meat, creating a flavour explosion you'll fall in love with!

7. Evertop Hainanese Boneless Chicken Rice

Another local Chinese favourite is definitely Hainanese-style Chicken Rice. What sets it apart is the poached chicken, flavourful rice, and condiments such as chopped or ground up ginger and (of course!) chilli. Open since 1989, Evertop has built up its fanbase over the decades with succulent chicken meat, fragrant and mouth-watering rice, and their special achar (pickled vegetables) that seal the deal.

They even have other dishes featuring halal Roasted Duck - a rare find in Singapore! Check out even more amazing halal Hainanese Chicken Rice stalls here for a delicious and affordable meal to complete your full Singapore experience!

A prominent name whenever you mention prawn noodles - Deanna’s Kitchen! They’re loved by many for their specialty prawn mee. Owned by a Chinese Muslim revert, Deanna, and her husband, they started selling their prawn mee from home and now have several outlets across Singapore! Savour their huge prawn noodles topped with clams (if you wish!) and drowned in thick homemade broth, which is a hawker classic made halal by years of experimenting. With such huge portions, a bowl of noodles will be more than sufficient for your starving tummy.

11. Jason Niang Dou Fu

Niang Dou Fu or Yong Tau Foo is a traditional Chinese Hakka dish consisting of a selection of vegetables, fishcakes, beancurd, and meat cooked together with rice or noodles. Yong Tau Foo stalls are some of the most common stalls found in hawker centres and food courts in Singapore, but we guarantee you've never had Yong Tau Foo the way Jason's serves it! One of the best parts of Yong Tau Foo is the Do-It-Yourself aspect and Jason’s wide variety of ingredients means there are choices here for every palate. No one will judge you if you forgo the vegetables you dislike, and pick only the sausages, fishcakes, and beancurd you do like.

Apart from the usual options, you’ll find at any other stall such as bee hoon, laksa noodles, and white rice, you’ll also find Yee Mee (Cantonese-style egg noodles), Mee Pok (Teochew-style dry egg noodles topped with chilli oil), Chee Cheong Fun (thin rolls made of rice flour), and even a Teochew classic of Yam Rice with dried shrimps, cabbage, and spring onions here!

P.S. Some ingredients such as the stuffed eggplant, chicken cutlet, and stuffed you tiao will be deep-fried by default but you can request for them not to deep-fry the ingredients for a healthier option.

13. 786 Char Kway Teow

A hawker classic, Char Kway Teow (CKT) can be found all across Singapore but due to the use of lard in most of them, it's hard to find good halal ones! Lucky for us, 786 Char Kway Teow lets Muslims taste the authentic flavour of this yummy dish. It's owned by a Chinese Muslim revert, so you know it tastes as good as the real thing.

Char Kway Teow

Serving only CKT, the stall has two different portion sizes; $3 and $5. The stall has managed to keep its dishes simple and prices affordable. With an additional cost of $1, you’ll be able to add on more cockles! How beautiful is it to have super yummy food at an even more attractive price?

Another leading restaurant when you think of authentic beef noodles from China - Yi Zun Noodle! Established by a Chinese-Muslim couple from China, you know it doesn’t get any more authentic than this.

P.S. Their first store was located at Sam Leong Rd near Farrer Park MRT but it's closed down. Do visit their Joo Chiat store instead!

Serving their special of either beef or chicken noodle, it’s best to come down on an empty stomach as they’re generous with their serving size. You’ll be able to see the noodles being pulled right in the store through a small window. With springy and chewy noodles submerged in broth with ample slices of chicken or beef, this bowl of goodness is bound to hit the spot. Their lamb skewers are also delicious, with thick chunks of tender and well-spiced meat grilled on red willow skewers for a subtle flavour!
