10 Halal restaurants with islandwide delivery, serving up international and local cuisine

This year, unlike every other year, Ramadan commences not with a joyous celebration of lights, sounds, and food, but with an awkward unease as Singaporeans are told to stay home and stay safe. As more and more measures are meted out to ensure the citizenry complies with social distancing rules, the Muslim community in Singapore is faced with the prospect of a more muted Ramadan, especially with the annual bazaars at Geylang Serai forced to shutter in light of this pandemic.

But don’t fret, nor feel like you’re missing out. Not when there’s a vast majority of Halal dining establishments rolling out the red carpet for islandwide delivery this month. This is the perfect time to bond with family over an exciting array of food from all around the world as the Halal market in Singapore further expands to include more international cuisine. Here, I’ve listed 10 Halal dining outlets to aid in your decision of what to eat today. If you have a Muslim friend, why not take this opportunity to gift them some delectable dishes from the list below?

They pride themselves on a memorable dining experience that amalgamates the modern and the traditional nuances of Chongqing cuisine with ingredients not commonly found in this flavour genre.

Tongue Tip Lanzhou Beef Noodles

Though many would prefer their traditional signature beef noodles with soup, I gravitate more towards Tongue Tip’s Lanzhou Stir-Fried Noodles. It’s a dish that not many diners know of but will look on in envy when it arrives at my table, piping hot, with generous amounts of beef slices, colourful chopped peppers, and an aromatic sauce coating each strand of perfectly al-dente yellow noodles. I eat it every Sunday for dinner but I am not impartial to their original beef noodles when the need for familiarity and comfort kicks in.

Tongue Tip Lanzhou Beef Noodles offers islandwide delivery with a minimum order of S$50. Diners can enjoy a 15% discount if you opt for self-collection through their online website. They’re also offering free delivery for orders above S$100. Please visit their website for the latest promotion and information.

A close sister of Nasi Padang, the Nasi Ambeng is slightly different in that it is originally intended as a celebratory dish to encourage communal dining, as friends and family gather around to feast on a huge platter of an assortment of dishes. In the middle of this platter, is a generous heapful serving of rice surrounded by an array of Malay dishes of meats and vegetables. My Spice Affair is the perfect epitome of a good Nasi Ambeng, having been around since the 70s, serving up authentic recipes from Malacca.
