INTRODUCTION TIPS Useful tips for navigating Muslim-friendly Singapore

Variety of Halal Food in Singapore

Singapore is home to a wide variety of Halal cuisines, from Japanese,
Chinese, Korean to Middle Eastern, Western and more. Most fast food
chains in Singapore are Halal certified by MUIS. For a quick fix, head
over to some of them such as McDonald’s, Burger King, KFC, Long
John Silver’s, Popeyes and Texas Chicken.
The metropolis has an abundance of Halal restaurants that have been
made easily identifiable in this guide by two different Halal logos.

Eating establishments bearing this logo indicate that they have been Halal certified by

Halal Food at Hawker Centres
Hawker centres are a familiar sight in the city, recognisable by numerous
stalls lined up next to each other. Also affectionately referred to by locals
as kopitiams, these are food complexes offering various types of
cuisines. You will be able to find Halal stalls by looking out for the MUIS
Halal certified logo. Although they share a common eating space, you
can be assured that the Halal stalls are identified by different coloured
cutleries and have a separate wash and tray return area.

Seventeen years ago, he opened a small bookstore

He believed that these books deserve to take up more
than one shelf in a general bookstore.

For wife and husband duo, Rozza Ramli and Jai
Wahab, KARVA was born out of their shared interests
in grooming.
‘I was not an ambitious person. I wanted to have five
kids and imagined myself as a housewife,’ said Rozza.
After her fourth child, she wondered about what she
would do in her free time as her children started to
grow up. When Rozza was a flight stewardess, she
would check herself into salons during her layovers.
She then realised that there was no salon on par with
Toni & Guy in Singapore for Muslim ladies. Hence,
came the inspiration behind KARVA.

seek for Halal Chinese tzechar. Tzechar is derived from the Hokkien
