Best Halal Food in Singapore

Keep this Chinatown Point eatery in mind for when the noodle soup cravings hit. The Beef Noodle Soup ($9.50) features tender slices of beef soaked in a broth of your choice — choose from spicy mala, pickled veggie and the herb-and-salt original. You can also customize the thickness of your hand-pulled noodle. There are six to choose from, including the threadlike beehoon and large, flat meehoon kueh. For an extra $4, get sides of peanuts or braised hardboiled eggs. Pro tip: dip your noodles and beef in chilli and black vinegar for maximum pleasure!
