The HHWT Must-Visits (Our Top Recommendations)

Zingrill Pte Ltd

Seoul Garden, Bugis Junction

The moment we enter, the staff Juwita already welcome us with her warm smile. She is so polite and friendly. She even served us the special sause which we love it. Overall, the variety of the food is good.

LUKUMADES FRANCHISING PTY LTD

Muslim owned

Lukumades

Been wanting to try this for the longest time and so glad that I did. The donuts were fried to perfection, hot and crispy exterior with a soft and fluffy interior omg and goes well with the toppings! We got the half & half (Nutella & Honey) Service was great too and very fast! Please look into opening more outlets 🥹

The White Label

We recently had our Chinese New Year dinner at this restaurant with a large group of 72 people. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, though there were some areas for improvement.

The ambience was cosy, though slightly cramped for our group size. We occupied the entire second level and the mezzanine, which gave us a semi-private setting. The smoker’s area was a nice touch, and the toilet on the second level had a charming classic décor and was well-maintained.

The food was tasty and well-presented, but there were some concerns. The salmon portion was disappointingly small, roughly 6cm by 6cm, which left many of us wanting more. For the price and occasion, a larger serving would have been more appropriate. Another major issue was the lack of steak knives for the beef and lamb dishes. Many of us struggled with the blunt serving knives provided, which made eating these dishes frustrating.

Service was a bit slow, which was understandable given our group size. However, the restaurant should have allocated more staff to ensure a smoother dining experience. If they intend to cater to large groups, better preparation is necessary.

Overall, it was an enjoyable evening, but the restaurant should improve on portion sizes of the salmon, service speed, and essential dining utensils.

The Fluffy Chef Pte. Ltd.

Vegetarian

The Fluffy Chef

We had a wonderful time celebrating my parents’ anniversary at this the fluffy Chef. The staff were incredibly sweet, accommodating, and attentive, making the evening extra special. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and we really appreciated the kind gesture of a complimentary panna cotta and a thoughtful gift set.

We ordered the truffle brisket pizza and honey pepperoni, which were decent (6/10), as were their pastas. While the food didn’t completely wow us, the overall experience was delightful, especially with the great service and a genuine effort to create a memorable occasion. Kudos to the young chef for their efforts—we were happy to support! Definitely worth a visit for the ambiance and hospitality.

Wong FuFu

Wong Fufu

Contentedly bubbly after overdosing on free flow bubble tea with 6 varieties of toppings! The salad bar and the dressings were delicious too! Food were all tasty but my steak was a tad medium done when I actually wanted medium rare. 30 secs on each side then straight into my hot plate would have been perfect! All in all, it was a delightful experience with warm friendly people and all. Don’t believe the Inline booking platform when it stated that you are allowed only 80 mins of makan time there! I was alarmed when I first saw it but it turned out to be not true at all! I came in at 7.05 and left at nearly 9 pm! I never see anybody at any table being told to go, even when there were people waiting outside! The friendly counter guy with a cute ponytail, whom I assumed is the boss, even told some people, including us, to  go have more! That is service and hospitality at its BEST! Will be back next time with a bigger group to savour the Giga 5 liters giant tall glass of bubble tea with the yummy looking XL pearls! I saw a table of 4 having it and i looked on enviously and longingly at the monster balls! Oh how I would love to sink my teeth into thee! ?

8. Gyusei Gyukatsu Wagyu-Steakhouse (North Bridge Rd)

TK Group

Halal certified

Gyusei Gyukatsu Wagyu-Steakhouse

I’ve tried many gyukatsu places in Tokyo, and this one is definitely among the best. Even the menchikatsu is made with wagyu, so it has a wonderful aroma and a natural sweetness from the beef itself.

We ordered the A5 ribeye set, A5 tenderloin set, and A5 sirloin set. Each one came with 12 types of sauces and condiments — yuzu kosho, kimchi, grated radish with ponzu, katsu sauce, fresh lemon, shichimi, Maldon sea salt, sansho, mustard seeds, real fresh wasabi (not stingy at all), homemade potato salad, and a rich umami onsen egg. You can enjoy 12 different flavor combinations with just one piece of gyukatsu, which is amazing.

The seafood tempura set was great as well — the soft-shell crab was outstanding. But my personal favorite was the fresh oyster. It comes topped with tobiko, and the oyster itself was unbelievably fresh and sweet.

On top of that, the salad, miso soup, and rice are all free flow, which goes perfectly with the fried food. The crisp shredded cabbage especially helps reset your palate from the richness of the A5 wagyu.

Honestly, I didn’t expect to find such authentic and delicious Japanese food in Singapore.

It’s an easy 11/10 for me. I’ll definitely be back.

Wooly's Bagels Arab Street

SO GOOD EH OMG. Decided to give this place a go since I love bagels and matcha ! The strawberry matcha latte from here is raved about SO MUCH online that I had to try it for myself and it didn’t disappoint !!! The vibe here was very cosy with warm orange lighting and it felt really homely tbh. My friend and I ordered and shared the Thicc Chick Drip and the GTFBagel and we both preferred the GTFBagel more cause I think the Thicc Chick Drip Bagel was more jelat, but it was still pretty good nonetheless ! I really enjoyed the strawberry matcha latte as well and it lived up to the hype ! Still had quite a number of people dining in despite the rain outside hehe. The staff were friendly and I would like to come back here again to try other items on the menu !

Chix Hot Chicken Pte. Ltd.

Chix Hot Chicken

The food was good and filled with flavour. Mild spice was not spicy from the bacon and eggs so Hot spice would be good. The staff at the counter, however, sounded upset which left a bad feeling among us before eating. Some decorations above the table were also caked with dust, which was not the best sight to see when eating. Still a nice place to get good quality burgers

Hjh Maimunah Restaurant

For a good fix of malay food - you must come here!

The prices are reasonable, portions are massive but best of all food taste great!

They have great deals for sets and also a pretty good selection of dishes to choose from

Getting a spot to sit might be a bit challenging since its rush hour practically every hour here, but its not impossible ?

Long-standing restaurant in a colorful 1908 shophouse offering Malaysian & Indian cuisine.

Singapore Zam Zam Restaurant

Great local find at a reasonable price so close to the mosque. Murtabak was delicious and devoured by the kids. The biryani was flavoursome and the gravy had good spices without being too spicy. Lastly, the Nasi Goreng was also great and loaded with egg. Would definitely come back

Victory Restaurant

Dined in for a weekend lunch.

Plenty of seating upstairs which is deceiving for outside. The flavours of the dishes were really nice. The down side was the beef was chewy and the chicken was dry. It was very busy but the food didn't take long to ve served which is a bonus. The place was clean but the toilets weren't.

Al-Tasneem

SO GOOD! Randomly choose to eat here near the Sultan Mosque. Muhammad, the server, have TOP NOTCH SERVICES. Providing us (family of 15) with suggestions for the menu (with the best price also). Tey the Ikan Goreng, Nasi Briyani, & Sambal Cumi. WOW.

Definitely will come back.

No-frills restaurant serving up a variety of halal-certified, traditional Cantonese dishes & soups.

The Dim Sum Place, North Bridge Road

The Dimsum place is a halal restaurant and the place is packed with people so the food must be nice. The food was prepared swiftly and the taste was amazing. Never know a halal dim sum shop can be so authentic. The food was served hot. The carrot cake with xo sauce was nice. The duck was juicy and tender. Really is nice. The fry dim sum was crispy and served hot so for sure they are nice. The rest of the dim sum were also delicious.

Overrice

If I could, I would give this place a solid 9/10! Service was good with the staff being attentive, kind, and polite to diners. The food also comes out quickly after ordering and they allow you to customize the food according to your desires.

Atmosphere is pretty mid for a place in Kampung Glam/Bugis area but it's comfortable and the music selection was pretty alright and fit the decor to bring out a nice vibe.

The food was great! I've had the OG New York Halal Guys rice bowl and it's pretty close - meats were succulent and juicy and the ratio of sauce to rice was good too! Sauces were good too with the red sauce packing a punch so be careful if spicy isn't your thing! ? I would certainly visit them again in the future.

A suggestion to management would be to offer different sizes of bowls and number of tacos/pitas to cater to different customer needs and this would allow for more diversity without increasing the size of the menu for the kitchen staff!

Overall it was pretty good! GOODJOB?

Rumah Makan Minang Pte Ltd

Halal Indonesian eatery serving nasi padang, beef rendang, satay & more in a low-key space.

Rumah Makan Minang

Been here the past 10 years and standards still high. Managed to come before lunch crowd and got a seat at the air conditioned area. Come as a group to have variety. Lontong and so many dishes I don’t know the names were delightful.

19. Pondok Makan Indonesia (Albert Centre)

20. The French American Bakery (Haji Lane)

The French American Bakery Pte. Ltd.

The French American Bakery

1. You have to come early once it opens bcs the queue might be long as they’re short on staffs (maybe idk but i went there and only 1 staff were working and only 5 customers can go in one at a time)

2. The desserts are good. We ate the carrot cake and croissant i think and its so goodd (dont ask me the overall costs bcs i might faint)

3. THE INFAMOUS HOT CHOCOLATE (its too sweet even for someone who has a sweet tooth. Brought it back to the hotel and i made two glasses of ice choc of it. Its good tho. Would definitely come back to try the other menu

The Black Hole Group 


Snug eatery offering build-your-own & set meals with handmade pasta, plus drinks & starters.

Tipo Pasta Bar

Nestled beside an art center, this small restaurant is easy to locate, but the service leaves much to be desired. Despite having plenty of staff, there seemed to be confusion about seating, even with the restaurant only three-quarters full. One staff member even called out, “Hey, that’s reserved!”—adding to the disorganized experience. While the menu boasts creatively named dishes, the flavors fell short of expectations for both myself and my friends.Food Quality B Quantity A Service C

Momolato Pte Ltd

Momolato

The ice cream here is definitely worth a second visit! I had strawberry cheese cake and blue pea vanilla. Waffle wise, it is a little on the softer side but the buttermilk taste is strong! Personally prefer waffles that are crispy and soft on the inside. Staff was friendly and open to our opinions on the food so that they could improve in future which I feel is pretty good! ??

Flipper's

Flipper'S Bugis Junction

I had a rather early supper at this eatery at Bugis junction.
I had spaghetti, pumpkin and citron tea. The meal was quite satisfying. The pricing was affordable. Service was excellent and the ambience is perfect.

A must try, if you are in this area.
