Singapore is truly blessed with bountiful halal eateries. From quaint cafés to restaurant chains, local delights to fusion cuisine, it can get pretty overwhelming when one is spoilt for choice on where and what to eat.

Credit: Giphy If you remain undecided on where and with what to fill your tummy, here are the best 10 eateries in Singapore and their signature dishes that you have to order!

1. Kumoya

In our books, there’s nothing wrong with starting a meal with desserts? Especially from this Japanese-French café which has been generating a lot of buzz for its offering of the most adorable desserts!

Credit: @missyhongsim on Instagram The visually stunning yogurt parfaits at Kumoya are the perfect sweet treat! Out of the four available flavours, The Sakura is the most popular. A plate of frozen yogurt, vanilla pudding, soufflé cheesecake, cereal crunch, Japanese dango, berries, Sakura langue de chat and a fruit coulis to douse everything in. From creamy to crunchy, sweet to sour – each component of the yogurt parfait creates a merriment in your mouth.

Credit: @explodingbelly on Instagram These delicate petite eclairs (so you have room left for more desserts!) are Kumoya’s signature. The impressive selection of eclairs includes flavours like Cafe Au Lait, Hazelnut Chocolate, Sakura, Matcha and Yuzu.

Credit: @littlemissbento on Instagram For savoury food, Kumoya does a grand job with their fluffy waffles with sweet shoyu glazed karaage chicken. It is all about the complementing textures of crunchy chicken and airy waffles ? #HHWT Tip: Get 10% off your total bill with a minimum spending of SGD50 when you sign up on our website!

2. Hyde & Co.

A minimalist décor, cosy vibes and some photogenic foods – Hyde & Co is real easy to love. Fusion food has become the expected amongst cafés in Singapore but Hyde & Co elevates the cuisine with their own flair like Ondeh-Ondeh French Toast and Nasi Lemak risotto!

One highly recommended dish is their Beef Brisket Man Tou. These Asian sliders consist of slow-cooked pulled beef brisket bathed in a homemade BBQ sauce, topped with purple slaw, all enclosed in fried mantou buns.

If you don’t like tacos, we’re nacho type ? Afterwit serves up hearty Mexican fare. From quesadillas to tortilla pizzas, tacos, and burritos, indulge in all things fresh and delicious. Calling itself a Taqueria means you have to try their tacos!

Credit: Afterwit Mexican Taqueria on Facebook Unlike the hard shell many often associate tacos with, Afterwit opts for the soft tortilla version.
