Bugis & Kampong Glam Halal Gastronomy — Zamzam Murtabak and Bib Gourmand Nasi Padang
Bugis is located next to Arab Street (Kampong Glam), so it boasts a strong lineup of long-standing halal restaurants. Both Zam Zam and Mai Muna are halal restaurants that do not serve alcohol, and they are particularly crowded around Friday afternoon prayer times. For dessert, it is efficient to head over to Liang Sea Street and finish with Chinese-style sweet and sour soup.
