Halal Food
Halal food refers to food and beverages that comply with Islamic dietary laws. Importantly, Islam is not defined by race—Muslims come from many different ethnic and cultural backgrounds. In Singapore, while the Malay community forms the majority of the Muslim population, there are also many Muslims from other racial and ethnic groups, including Chinese, Indian, Arab, Turkish, Japanese, Korean, English, French, American, and African. As a result, halal food reflects this rich diversity, featuring cuisines from around the world—such as Turkish kebabs, Indian biryanis, and French pastries—rather than being tied to any single culture.
Singapore is known for celebrating diversity, and this extends to its food scene. An increasing number of non-Muslim-owned cafes and restaurants have also obtained halal certification, reflecting the city’s embrace of inclusivity. These eateries create spaces where both Muslim and non-Muslim diners
can share meals and enjoy delicious halal-compliant food together. Muslim-owned cafes and restaurants are generally trusted by the community to serve halal food, as they are run by individuals who follow Islamic dietary practices. These establishments may not need to apply for halal certification. However, obtaining halal certification from MUIS, Singapore's official halal certifying body, provides peace of mind by formally verifying halal compliance.
