A culture of cuisines

Singapore’s multicultural heritage has shaped a dining landscape defined by richness and diversity. Malay, Indian and Chinese cuisines sit side by side, enjoyed across communities and generations. Within this rich culinary landscape, a significant portion of food in Singapore is halal, ensuring that cherished local flavours and contemporary interpretations remain inclusive for the Muslim community.

Halal Certification

Upon entry to any halal restaurants in Singapore, you may notice a distinct green certification issued by the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (MUIS), placed prominently for easy identification.

Halal certificates typically feature the MUIS logo alongside the name and address of the restaurant or hawker stall, assuring diners that food preparation complies with Islamic dietary laws. While some outlets display signs such as “no pork, no lard”, this does not guarantee halal compliance, as preparation processes are not certified. MUIS advises Muslim diners to exercise discretion when dining at non-certified establishments.
