From Bak Kut Teh To Bak Chor Mee – 9 Places In S’pore With Halal Chinese Fare
If you’re like me, you’ve always been listening to your Chinese friends go on and on about their Bak Kut Teh and Bak Chor Mee without any way of relating to their experiences.
It’s no great secret that Singapore is a food obsessive’s paradise. Over the years, the halal food scene has grown and now our Muslim friends can enjoy halal versions of authentic Chinese fare.
As much as I love my nasi padang and mee soto, having halal options to authentic Chinese hawker food makes me really happy.
Rejoice my Muslim friends, here’s a list of halal chinese food you can finally enjoy!
1. Bak Kut Teh (Habib Family Restaurant)
Yes, you read that right. There’s halal Bak Kut Teh in Singapore and you’re going to love it.
For the uninitiated, Bak Kut Teh directly translates to “meat bone tea” in Hokkien but it doesn’t actually have tea in it. Instead of pork ribs, the Bak Kut Teh is served with beef or lamb meat in a rich herbal broth.
[caption id="attachment_34244" align="aligncenter" width="900"]
Image Credit: @fizoto[/caption]
The Malaysian-style Bak Kut Teh served at Habib Family Restaurant is made with a rich herbal broth and they’ve been making it for over 15 years now!
The restaurant’s Chinese chef keeps the flavours authentic by using traditional bak kut teh herbs, but substitutes the traditional pork with beef and lamb to keep it halal.
[caption id="attachment_34245" align="aligncenter" width="960"]

You can choose from either Beef ($6) or Lamb ($8.50) meat or opt for the set ($16) which comes with a plate of white rice, omelette, kang kong and sambal belacan.

2. Prawn Noodles (Deanna’s Kitchen)
Deanna’s Kitchen is one of my go-to place for real good comfort food.The owner is a Chinese convert who decided to make her own prawn mee when she couldn’t find anywhere to satisfy her cravings.
Halal prawn noodles in Singapore is not as common yet as they traditionally use pork bones to cook the broth.
[caption id="attachment_34248" align="aligncenter" width="1080"]
Image Credit: Deanna’s Kitchen Facebook[/caption]
This stall serves up real good halal prawn mee with luxurious add ons such as crayfish and giant prawns at relatively affordable prices.
The rich broth is made from boiling prawn shells, anchovies and other essentials for hours, which results in a decadent soup base that is briny with a natural sweetness.
[caption id="attachment_34246" align="aligncenter" width="960"]
Image Credit: Deanna’s Kitchen Facebook[/caption]
Their Regular Prawn Noodles starts from $3.50. It comes with a generous amount of noodles, broth and peeled prawns.

If you’re feeling a little more fancy, get their most expensive item which is the Prawn Noodles With Crayfish ($12.50). This one comes with four crayfish halves and three regular prawns.
The amount of seafood in this bowl definitely does not lack.

3. Mala (Paya Lebar Square Cantine)
Mala hot pot has been all the rage for awhile now. Just like yong tau foo, you get to pick your own choice of ingredients – except that instead of clear soup, your taste buds will be met with spicy and numbing Szechuan sauce.
As with many other mala hot pot places, you get to choose from their range of ingredients – from meats to seafood, greens and mushrooms.
[caption id="attachment_34251" align="aligncenter" width="960"]
Image Credit: HalalFoodBlog Facebook[/caption]
Inform the makcik your preferred spice level – mildly spicy, spicy, and extra spicy and you’re good to go!
Be warned, the mala is seasoned with a fiery mala paste that is bound to set your tastebuds on fire after a few mouthfuls.

The duck meat is seasoned and well-caramelised with the sauce enveloping all over the thick duck meat and the skin. The end result: It gives your duck meat a charred, alluring look.

7. Char Kway Teow (786 Char Kway Teow)

‘Udon’ Know Good Udon Until You’ve Tried Inaniwa Yosuke
I don’t think that there are official ‘sides’ to the Udon VS. Ramen argument. If it is even an argument in the first place. But if I had to pick sides, I’m a Ramen fan.
There’s just something about thin yellow noodles that seems so much more appealing than the thick strand of udon. Udon just seems so…much.
Looking at Udon makes me feel like it’s going to be jelak before I even order.
So this weekend, I did something (relatively) brave. My Udon-loving friend found a particular Udon restaurant in Wisma Atria and she wanted to try it.
So off we went on a lazy Sunday afternoon for Udon.
A Hidden Gem
Hidden in plain sight on Level 4 of Wisma Atria, next to FoodRepublic, is the Japan Food Town. If you think this is another “Shokutsu Ten” at Nex or Jurong Point, you’re wrong.
The restaurants here are next level. Deep within the Japan Food Town was our destination, Inaniwa Yosuke.
[caption id="attachment_34217" align="aligncenter" width="1280"]
Image Credit: DiscoverSG[/caption]
The restaurant looked unassuming. Like a run-of-the-mill Japanese restaurant with limited seating and fancy-ish decor.
I went in with a sense of trepidation because I’m a person of habit and tend to stick to what’s familiar and good. I’m really not an udon person.
I ordered the Beef Udon ($16.80) because that was the most familiar flavour besides the Carbonara Udon that was sadly, out of stock. My friend ordered the Wagyu Steak Don Set ($24.80) as well as the Agedashi Tofu ($6.80) and Salmon Sashimi ($10.80) to share.
The first dish to arrive was the Agedashi Tofu. Four large pieces of perfectly tempura fried tofu sitting in a light soy sauce.
This was a delight to eat. The biggest gripe I have with Agedashi Tofu is that their batter becomes soggy very quickly but this one was soft yet crispy with its delicate batter and the soy sauce was not too salty. Basically, AMAZING.
Next was the Salmon Sashimi and each piece was fresh and sliced thick.

Not that it’s a bad thing, but the broth was definitely better than I expected. Next, the udon noodles.
The udon noodles here are thinner than the usual thick variety that we’re all familiar with. The restaurant uses Inaniwa-style udon noodles which are thinner and smoother and is handmade every step of the way.
[caption id="attachment_34232" align="aligncenter" width="700"]

I’m definitely going back for more and I recommend that you give it a shot.

There’s always time and place for ice cream and waffles. Honestly, is there anything not to love about waffles?
Trust the perfect waffle and ice cream combination to perk up your dreary week. Here’s a list of the best waffles in Singapore.
1. Twenty Grammes
A sweet aroma of vanilla and milky goodness greets you as you step into Twenty Grammes, reminiscent of late Sunday mornings when a scrumptious brunch of homemade waffles was in order.

Their S’mores Waffle ($15) has got to be one of their best creations yet. The waffles are infused with graham crackers to give it that crispy exterior. Chocolate hazelnut sauce is drizzled all over the waffle along with crushed graham crackers.
Pair it with a scoop of gelato of your choice. Top it off with torched marshmallows and whipped cream. This S’mores Waffle definitely hits the spot after a long week at work!

[caption id="attachment_34184" align="aligncenter" width="1236"]
Image Credit: Creamier Handcrafted Ice Cream and Coffee Facebook[/caption]
Creamier definitely trumps in the number of ice cream flavours offered. Not forgetting their waffles that are well executed – crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside. You’ll never get jelak of their waffles and ice cream!
[caption id="attachment_34185" align="aligncenter" width="870"]

Their freshly churned ice cream is consistently good, and they often introduce seasonal flavours to keep things fresh. We highly recommend their two best sellers – Earl Grey Lavender and Sea Salt Gula Melaka.
Ice cream here starts from $3.50 a scoop, with premium flavours going at $4.50 a scoop.

3. Wimbly Lu
Wimbly Lu is practically synonymous with waffles as it was one of the pioneers behind the waffles craze in Singapore a few years ago.
[caption id="attachment_34186" align="aligncenter" width="1290"]
Image Credit: Burpple User Cafehoppingkids[/caption]
There’s just something about the waffles here that feels so right. You feel instantly warm and comforted once you take a bite of their waffles.
While the waffles may look ordinary at first glance, you know what they say – do not judge a book by its cover. The waffles here are fluffy and light.
We do love their waffle paired with Salted Caramel and Honey Cinnamon Ice Cream – best for a treat yo’self day. You can choose either a single scoop ($8.50) or a double scoop ($11.50) of ice cream to go with the waffle.
Wimbly Lu Shrove Tuesday fully embodies its name with their extensive menu which you can’t help but devour.

One of the popular items on their menu would be the Nonya Chendol Waffle ($13.90), which consists of 2 scoops of chendol gelato and vanilla soft serve, topped with Azuki beans, chendol jelly, desiccated coconut flakes before drizzled with Gula Melaka.
If you love your chendol, then we highly recommend you trying it in waffle form from Shrove Tuesday

The magical Unicorn Whoaffle ($14) comes with with a scoop of Lavender White Chocolate and Toasted Marshmallow ice cream atop their chewy Whoaffle.
The horns were all meringue and certainly added to the cute factor of this dish. Whip out your phones because this set is great for the gram’.
Hatter Street This amazing concoction comes with vanilla bean ice-cream, caramelised bananas, milo crumble and drizzled with a healthy amount of milo sauce – a recipe for happiness! Strangers’ Reunion With its mint green storefront and matching pastel furnishing, it comes as no surprise that Lickety stands out from the row of souvenir shops and Middle Eastern restaurants. The star of the show is definitely their Egglet Ice Cream Bouquet (from $8.90). The egglets comes in two flavours – buttermilk and red velvet. You can choose either of these flavours or go ‘half-and-half” if you want the best of both worlds. Lickety carries a wide assortment of flavours ranging from my personal favourite Honey Lavender and Earl Grey and Fig to more localised flavours such as Taro Yam. This dessert is definitely best shared between two people! Lickety If you’re in need of a laid back, messy hair, lazy kind of Sunday, then Sunday Folks is right up your alley. The folks behind this cafe takes pride in concocting their own original recipes and paying homage to the freshness and tastefulness of their desserts. Their desserts don’t just look good – they taste good too! I’ve always loved their Sea Salt Gula Melaka Ice Cream Waffles ($11.80) . You can expect a freshly baked Belgian waffle paired with strawberries and drizzled with maple syrup and chocolate hazelnut sauce. Trust me, the amazing waffles at Sunday Folks won’t disappoint! Sunday Folks Their Chocolate Rootbeer Waffle with Charcoal Vanilla Soft Serve ($12) is definitely a hit among customers. The rectangular waffle comes with a chocolate chip cookie, and an ash grey charcoal vanilla soft serve to top it all off. The charcoal soft serve had a hint of root beer in every mouthful, which does not overwhelm the original vanilla taste. The Cold Pantry Nestled amidst the quiet, laid-back charms of the old Yishun town, Holy Cow Creamery is a great chill-out spot. Escape to Yishun (can’t believe we’re saying this) for your dose of Ice Cream & good times. Enjoy their delicious ice cream concocted in their very own kitchen, paired with crisp waffles. We highly recommend their charcoal waffles if you’re looking for something different from the plain ol’ waffle. Holy Cow (Header Image Source: @twentygrammes)

Martin Zwerts Opens Its First Store In S’pore – Offers Classic Dutch Frites With 13 Different Sauces
Fries are one of the quintessential Western sides and we absolutely love them.
These strips of fried potato can be easily found everywhere, from fast food restaurants to the humble Western stalls in our coffeeshops.
Personally, I’m a potato wedges kinda guy but I never ever reject potatoes in any form. If you love fries, we’ve got news for you.
The renowned Dutch snack outlet known for their Frites (Fries), Martin Zwerts, will be opening their first stall outside of The Netherlands, in Singapore at Holland Village, Holland Piazza on 27 April 2018!
Fries For All
Established in 1948, Martin Zwerts Potato Daddy (Yes that’s the name of the brand. Grow up.) is famous for their Dutch Patat Frites.

Patat frites are usually thick cut and served in a cone with a sauce of your choice. Martin Zwerts’ Patat Frites are no different.

They will be offering a selection of 13 different sauces for you to choose from. Some of their unique sauces include their signature Frites Sauce, Kerrie Onion Sauce, and Satesaus.

To cater to our hyper-localised tastebuds, Martin Zwerts will be offering the new Golden Salted Egg Yolk Sauce, BBQ Sauce and Rendang Sauce.
Their frites come in 2 sizes. There’s the Small Frites which goes for $5.50 per cone, and the Large Frites which goes for $6.50 per cone.
While Frites are their signature item, that’s not all you’ll find on their menu.
They also serve up a variety of other snacks such as Meatballs, Chunky Fish Fingers, Onion Rings, Prawn Fritters, Bitterballen, Spring Rolls and Krokets!
Last but not least, there is a Martin Zwerts Frite Club Loyalty Program.
All you have to do is top up a minimum of $50 and you’ll get 20% more cash value into the account.
To sign up, just tell the cashier your mobile number and they’ll set it up for you.
Head down to Martin Zwerts for some awesome Dutch frites!

Dear S’poreans, Let’s Be Considerate Neighbours And Not Visit M’sia On 8 And 9 May
May is going to be an especially important month for our Malaysian friends.
The 14th Malaysian General Election is set to take place on 9 May 2018, where members of the 14th Parliament of Malaysia will be elected.
A Facebook post published yesterday (22 April 2018) by Singaporean user Zax Jabronee Lui has gone viral.
https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10155151389746260&set=a.452772766259.245829.603016259&type=3
His day-old post has garnered 161 likes and has been shared 2,055 times by Singaporeans and Malaysians alike, at the time of writing.
The post is an earnest plea for Singaporeans to refrain from going to Johor Bahru unless absolutely necessary.
The aim is to free up immigration and customs and ensure a smooth entry for Malaysians returning to vote, as well as encourage Malaysians working in Singapore to return to vote.
Let us do our friends a favour and spread the word.
