Brekkie Bites: Top Halal Breakfast Spots in Singapore
In Muslim communities, hearty breakfasts before fasting in Ramadan ensure energy sustenance throughout the day. Suhoor, the pre-dawn meal, is an important nutritious start until breaking the fast at dusk.
The tradition has evolved, integrating new ingredients, cooking methods, and global culinary influences. Today’s best halal breakfast and brunch places in Singapore appeal not just to Muslim communities but to everyone interested in this respected cuisine.
