You’re having a nice conversation. Then suddenly, they ask the question. They ask you: ”Where is a good place to eat ah?” Your palms get sweaty and your brain shuts down. “You’ve lived here all your life. How can you not know?!”, you ask yourself. This always happens when your uncles, aunties, friends, favourite Instagram influencer from London or anyone curious asks for halal food ideas in the area.Next time, just Google Halalfoodhunt.com or find this page in your bookmarks. #upyourstreetcred #withtechAnyway, here are our new halal places for you to explore.
1. Home of Seafood

3. Oriental Ice Bistro
There are many cafes out there serving super-indulgent desserts, we know, but is there a halal cafe with a whole range of desserts from Korean bingsu to American milkshake to Japanese taiyaki (waffle-ice cream). Great place to keep in mind as THE answer for those (secretly annoying) people who tend to answer “anything” when you ask them what they want to eat.

Rojak is the staple of any moderately-special family occasion meal here in Singapore. After all, a family that eats rojak together, stays together. Best part, Ministry of Rojak has a wide variety of menu including Mee Goreng, Tulang Noodles and more.Anyway, they have the usual Indian food too so if your appetite grows, you can just order more! If your friends want to join in, also can! There are enough seats and tables to join up into one long one to accommodate large groups.Check out our vlog for the time we ate there.
