Frequently Asked Questions
What makes food Halal?
Halal food adheres to Islamic dietary guidelines, which include avoiding pork products, alcohol, and using only specific methods for animal slaughter. In Singapore, this is administered by Majlis Ugama Islam Singapore (MUIS).
What types of cuisines can I expect from Muslim owned eateries in Singapore?
In Singapore, a diverse array of cuisines is readily available, ranging from traditional offerings like biryani, kebabs, and rendang to innovative fusion creations blending diverse culinary traditions. Moreover, there is a noticeable rise in the popularity of non traditional cuisines, such as French, Mexican, and Western culinary options.
Difference between Muslim owned and MUIS Halal Certified?
Muslim owned eateries in Singapore may not hold the official MUIS Halal Certification. However, their food is prepared and cooked in accordance with Islamic dietary laws, such as not containing pork or alcohol or being prepared in a clean and hygienic environment.
While a Muslim owned food establishment may be more likely to follow halal practices due to the owner's religious beliefs, it doesn't necessarily guarantee that all products and services offered by the business are halal. Not all Muslim owned food establishments are MUIS Halal Certified. We encourage each Muslim should follow their own discretion.
