Halal Makan Singapore Hotels Restaurant

Now is Ramadhan month for the Muslim Calendar. During this month, the Muslim fast during the day. Fasting is abstaining from any food intake from dawn till dusk. Most Muslim in Arabic countries will feast when breaking their fast. Nowadays, the Asian region particularly Singapore and Malaysia counterpart, do also feast with buffet at hotels restaurant.

In Singapore, there are some Halal Restaurants in Hotel particularly providing the Iftar or Berbuka Buffet during Ramadhan. Currently, the certified Halal Hotel Restaurant are Carousel at Royal Scotts Hotel, The Straits Kitchen at Hyatt Hotel and the latest addition is Tiffany at Furama@Eu Tong San.

Kintamani Restaurant located at Furam@Riverfront is also halal. But they are a separate entity from the hotel management, thus we cannot categorised it as Halal Hotel Restaurant. Anyway, they do provide buffet breakfasting during this Ramadhan.

Each of the hotels restaurant have a facilities for diners to do their solat at the hotel premises.

Here are some reviews on the iftar for the 3 restaurants.

Carousel @ Royal Scotts
Carousel has been a popular spot for halal eateries to the Muslim. It is the first halal Restaurant in a hotel premises. They had revamped the restaurant and rebranding the name from Cafe Vienna to Carousel in 2007. The spreads of buffet ranges from Eastern to Western Food. The ambience is better now and the restaurant had bigger capacity to accomadate the increasing number of Halal seekers diners. The desserts is not to be missed items of the food spread. You have to experience dinning at the premises itself in order to appreciate it. The surau for praying is located on the second floor near the restroom. It is on the right staircase when you are facing the reception area.

The Straits Kithen @ Hyatt
Another hotels that can see the potential of the halal makan is Hyatt. It is situated opposite the Royal@Scott. Here the Halal food is more of the hawkers fare that you can get at any foodcourt or hawkers centre. The specialities differs by the ambience and you got to see the chefs preparing your food while you enjoying the halal food spread. Their peranakan dishes is astonished. You could see how skillful the chefs are when whipping the dishes. Something to enjoy looking at if your dinning partner or group is quite a boring sort. The surau for praying is a little bit difficult to locate. You can asked the Muslim staff there for direction. They will always be willing to show you the way.

Tiffany @ Furama Hotel@Eu Tong San
Furama hotel at Eu Tong San started to initiate Halal Restaurant at their premises fully knowing that the market pie of Halal Makan is a huge pie to be shared. Tiffany however, is not so popular as Carousel or Strait Kitchen due to it infancy and lack of marketing part from the hotel. I had the privileged to try their dinner after a close friend keep giving recommendation on how good is their food and how it was reasonably price compare to Carousel and Strait Kitchen. Their spread of Halal food are very good. They have DIY corner for you to prepare your own Kuih Paitee or Popiah. Ambience wise as for me is much better than Straits Kitchen if you want to have a quiet dinner with a group of friends. The surau is on the same level. It is locked when I wanted to do my Maghrib prayer. You can ask the staff to open the room for you if you want to do your prayer. Perhaps during this Ramadhan, the surau is being open without asking due to the number of diners breaking their fast there.

Selamat Berbuka.
