With their customisable options, Singapore’s first halal-certified Taiwan eatery is the ideal location if you like customising your meals. Mix and match every element of your meal, such as your protein, base, and sauce. Our favourite is the crispy and succulent Taiwan Fried Chicken – an iconic Taiwanese staple. Every order of a main also comes with access to the free-flow snack bar, and better yet, refillable bubble tea!

A bite of this restaurant’s dishes teleports you to Xinjiang, China — where dishes are fragrant, spicy, and seasoned to perfection. The Melt-Off-The-Bone Mutton Noodles is aptly named, especially since the store’s specialities are hand-pulled noodles and braised mutton. Imagine slurping on springy noodles doused in a spicy broth and chewing on tender and juicy mutton.

This underrated eatery’s offerings are the perfect way to melt away the stress of your workday. Sink your teeth into their pan-fried buns that are bursting at the seams with juice and filling.

Regardless of your choice, it is safe to say that the buns would have you reaching for more the moment they land in your mouth.
