6 Dim Sum Eateries In Singapore That Are Halal-Certified
You can now jio your Muslim friends for dim sum and yum cha sessions
Who doesn't like dim sum? The sheer variety of bite-sized dishes that sit in bamboo baskets would make anyone excited to order many baskets to try and share with friends and family. It's relatively healthy, and washing it all down with Chinese tea is simply satisfying.
There's only one downside: most dim sum places aren't suitable for our Muslim friends. Well, we aren't the only ones who feel that way, which might explain the numerous halal-certified dim sum eateries that have been popping up around Singapore over the past few years.
Here's where you can bring your friends, both Muslims and non-Muslims alike, to partake in yum cha sessions.
Tucked away at 219 Jalan Besar, this Muslim-owned restaurant, which opened its doors in October, has a menu with a wide range of Chinese dishes to choose from.
Find a mix of Hong Kong-style dim sum and local dishes here. Think Har Kaw, Chee Cheong Fun and Barbecue Chicken Bao, as well as fried carrot cake and char kway teow, with a greater variety of dishes available for dinner.
The establishment also has weekly specials so remember to check with the staff before you place an order.
Prices range from $3 to $8.50.
