Halal dim sum restaurants in Singapore
Plenty of eateries offer dim sum in Singapore, but only a handful are halal-certified. If you’re planning to bring your Muslim friends for a hearty meal or late-night treat, bookmark this list of six halal dim sum eateries.
1. The Dim Sum Place
The Dim Sum Place needs no introduction. Dubbed the most popular halal dim sum restaurant in Singapore, you can find them at five different locations at the time of writing. Their menu is relatively extensive, with steamed and fried options as well as duck, beef, chicken, and seafood variations to choose from.
Start your meal with the crowd-favourite DSP Egg Tarts ($6.90++ for four pieces). These tarts come in a buttery shell packed with lightly sweetened custard. Then, move on to the classic Crystal Shrimp Dumpling ($6.90++), starring a bamboo basket with three hearty pieces of har gao. For something a tad different, we recommend their Deep Fried Chicken Siew Mai with Shrimp ($6.90++), which is unlike the usual steamed dumplings we are familiar with.

It’d be remiss of you to leave without trying their popular Steamed Salted Egg Pau ($3.70 for two), filled to the brim with velvety smooth custard. If you’re not a fan of the creamy custard, opt for the BBQ Chicken Pau ($4.20 for three) instead. To go with your buns, the Thai Style Steamed Beancurd Roll ($4.20) is a safe bet; you can’t really go wrong with these hearty beancurd rolls topped with tangy-spicy Thai chilli sauce.

Their xiao long bao is not just your regular steamed soup dumpling, but made tastier instead—the Shanghai Steamed Dumpling With Chilli Crab ($6.50) comes loaded with sweet-spicy chilli crab sauce. Having these dumplings alone is not enough, so get a plate of Kampong Fried Rice ($8.10) to share with your dining companion(s). If you don’t mind spending more, we recommend the Salted Egg Sotong ($27.50) that pairs exceptionally well with the fried rice.

We also encourage you to get the popular French Toast with Chicken Floss ($7.80++) on the side to end your meal on a sweet note!

The vibrant Multi-Flavour Buns ($8.20++) caught our eyes first; the bamboo basket comes packed with six different buns in different colours and fillings: kaya, yam, coffee, chicken, bean paste, and bbq chicken. Some dim sum classics that are priced under $5 include Pan-fried Carrot Cake ($3.80++ for two), Har Kow ($4.90++ for three), and Steamed Beancurd Roll ($4.90++ for three) that comes with chicken and prawn bits.
