3. Tentei

It’s rare to find halal tendon and soba in Singapore, so indulge to your heart’s content at Tentei. They’ve got a surfeit of tempura-based dishes like the Deluxe Tendon ($14.40), a rice bowl chock-full of battered shrimp, seafood and vegetables, and Soba with Anago Tempura ($17), which has springy soba noodles paired with deep-fried conger eel.

And while you’d be hard-pressed to find an English translation on most Japanese menus, the ones here come with 3 translations - English, Chinese, Korean - so even non-English speaking tourists can place their orders easily.

4. Shinjuku Gyoen Ramen Ouka

Unlike most Japanese ramen which is served in a tonkotsu broth, the ramen ($30.20) at Shinjuku Gyoen Ramen Ouka uses a spicy sea bream broth, resulting in a light-yet-flavourful taste. The set also comes with grilled chicken, half-boiled egg, chicken dumpling, rice, a drink, and dessert - so you’ll definitely get your money’s worth.

There’s also a vegan option for the same price. You’ll get ramen with vegetable toppings, creamy tofu, rice balls, a drink, and dessert.

5. Gyumon

With zero halal yakiniku restaurants in Singapore, Gyumon lets Singaporean Muslims finally taste the morsels of delight that is grilled Japanese beef. Their set menu starts from $36.30 and includes a serving of meat, chicken, salad, rice, and a drink.

For something that’s lighter on your wallet but still heavy on taste, head here during lunch for their beef bowl set ($12.10) which comes with a salad and soup.
