Halal food in Singapore: the numbers that matter

Halal food is a large, everyday part of eating in Singapore. According to the Singapore Census of Population 2020, about 15.6% of the resident population, or roughly 539,000 people, identified as Muslim (figures as summarised on Wikipedia's Islam in Singapore page, citing the Department of Statistics). That is why halal options are common across hawker centres, food courts, malls and delivery apps.

The body that sets the standard is MUIS, the Majlis Ugama Islam Singapura (Islamic Religious Council of Singapore). According to MUIS, it provides halal certification services and regulates the Singapore halal industry. For diners, the most useful thing MUIS offers is a searchable list of halal-certified eating establishments and food preparation areas, linked from its consumer page at muis.gov.sg.

Three terms you will see, as MUIS defines them:

• Halal: an Arabic word meaning lawful or allowable. Most food and drinks are halal unless clearly forbidden.
• Non-halal (haram): unlawful. MUIS uses the acronym ABCDIS for the main categories: amphibians, blood and birds of prey, carnivores, dead meat or carrion, intoxicants and swine.
• Syubhah: a grey area. MUIS gives lecithin as an example, since it can come from plants (halal) or from pigs or improperly slaughtered animals (non-halal).

What are good halal food delivery options in Singapore?

Good halal delivery in Singapore usually comes from three routes: a delivery app with a halal search, restaurants and chains that hold MUIS certification for the outlet that delivers to you, and caterers or home businesses for bigger orders. Here is how each works.

1. Delivery apps such as foodpanda. You get the widest choice in one place, with ratings, delivery time estimates and fees shown before you pay. This suits most weekday lunches and family dinners.
2. Certified chains and restaurants. Some fast food and casual dining chains in Singapore hold MUIS certification, and many of them also list on delivery apps. Certification is issued for specific premises, so check the branch that will cook your order.
3. Halal caterers. For gatherings, a certified caterer can be easier than a large app order. MUIS's directory covers food preparation areas as well as eating places, which is useful for checking central kitchens.

Other names in Singapore food and grocery delivery include GrabFood, pandamart (foodpanda's own grocery shop) and FairPrice Online, so you can compare where your favourite halal outlet is listed.

How to find halal food on foodpanda in Singapore

On foodpanda, enter your address, then search "halal" or use the cuisine filters to bring up restaurants that describe themselves as halal. foodpanda was founded in Singapore in 2012 and is owned by Berlin-based Delivery Hero, according to its Wikipedia entry. It is a food and grocery delivery platform and it lists restaurants, home-based kitchens and shops in one app. A simple routine:

1. Set your delivery address first, since the list changes by location.
2. Search "halal", or a dish such as nasi lemak, biryani, satay or mee rebus, and add halal to the search.
3. Open the restaurant page and read the description. Many restaurants state their halal status there.
4. For certification, search the outlet name in the MUIS halal establishments directory.
5. Check the fees, minimum order and estimated delivery time on the checkout screen before you pay.

App tags are helpful but they are usually set by the restaurant. If certification matters to your household, the MUIS list is the place to confirm it. It takes under a minute and avoids guesswork.

Halal certified, Muslim-owned or "no pork no lard": what is the difference?

These three labels mean different things, and only one of them is MUIS halal certification.

• MUIS halal certified: the premises has gone through MUIS's certification process, which covers preparation, application, inspections and renewal, according to MUIS. Certified outlets appear in the MUIS directory.
• Muslim-owned: describes who runs the business. It is not the same as certification.
• No pork no lard: tells you about two ingredients. According to MUIS, halal food must avoid every non-halal category, and processed food must be made with equipment and facilities free from cross-mixing with non-halal substances and kept separate during preparation, storage and transport.

How strictly you follow each label is a personal choice. This guide simply sets out where to check each one.

Halal food Singapore 2026: popular dishes that travel well

For delivery, dishes with sauces and rice usually hold up better than fried, crispy items. Good picks for halal delivery in Singapore:

• Nasi padang and nasi lemak: rice with separate sides, which usually holds up well on the way to you.
• Biryani: usually packed in sealed containers and reheats well.
• Mee rebus, mee soto and laksa: ask for soup and noodles packed separately where the restaurant offers it.
• Satay: best eaten soon after delivery; reheat briefly in an oven or air fryer.
• Prata: crispier if you warm it on a dry pan for a minute.
• Western and fast food from certified chains: burgers and wraps travel better than fries.

Halal food Singapore best deals in 2026

The best halal food deals in Singapore usually come from foodpanda's own vouchers, smart order choices and going through ShopBack before you pay, rather than from one fixed promotion. Ways to lower the bill:

• Check the vouchers in the app. foodpanda lists platform vouchers and restaurant offers inside the app. They change often, so look before each order.
• Compare pick-up with delivery. If the restaurant is nearby, pick-up can remove the delivery fee.
• Group your order. Ordering for the family or office in one go spreads delivery and service fees across more people.
• Watch the minimum order. A small order fee may apply below the restaurant's minimum, which is shown at checkout.
• Consider pandapro if you order often. See the next section.
• Go through ShopBack before you check out. This is the step that lowers the effective price after you pay.

pandapro, foodpanda's own subscription

pandapro is foodpanda's paid subscription programme. Members usually get delivery perks on qualifying orders, member pricing at selected places and subscriber offers, with the current fee shown in the app. As a rule of thumb, it tends to pay off if you order several times a month and rarely if you order once or twice. Add up what you paid in delivery fees last month and compare it with the fee before you subscribe.

Why ShopBack is a step before you order

Before you check out on foodpanda, open ShopBack Singapore, tap the foodpanda store, and complete the order in the same session. Going through ShopBack takes a few seconds and adds cashback to the same order. Your effective price is what you pay minus the cash ShopBack returns.

Cashback lowers what you actually pay for an order. It comes back as cash, so it works like a discount on the price, not like points or miles.

An illustrative example: ShopBack pays a fixed cash amount on eligible foodpanda orders, so your effective price is what you pay at checkout minus that amount. On a S$40 family dinner order with an illustrative S$2 back, the effective price is S$38. That amount is only for the maths. Check the live amount on the foodpanda page on ShopBack before you order.

ShopBack Singapore works on the app and the website. On a phone, open the ShopBack app, search foodpanda and tap through. On a laptop, the ShopBack browser extension can remind you when you land on the foodpanda site.

Do foodpanda vouchers and ShopBack work on the same order?

Usually yes for foodpanda's own vouchers, but it depends on the voucher and the order type. foodpanda vouchers lower the checkout price, and ShopBack returns cash after foodpanda confirms the order. Codes featured on the ShopBack foodpanda page are the safe choice, while codes from other sites can stop the order from tracking. Check the terms and exclusions section on that page before you apply a code, and note that cancelled orders do not earn cash back.

Step by step: ordering halal food for delivery in Singapore

1. Decide what you want and who it is for, so you order once.
2. Open the foodpanda page on ShopBack Singapore and tap through to foodpanda.
3. Set your address and search halal or your dish.
4. Confirm the outlet in the MUIS halal establishments directory if certification matters to you.
5. Apply any foodpanda voucher that fits the order.
6. Check fees and the total on the checkout screen, then pay in the same session.

How do I find halal food on foodpanda in Singapore?

Enter your delivery address in the foodpanda app or website, then search for halal or browse the cuisine filters. Restaurant listings usually show whether a place describes itself as halal. Because app tags can be set by the restaurant, check the outlet name in the MUIS halal establishments directory if certification matters to you.

How can I check if a restaurant is MUIS halal certified?

MUIS, the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore, provides halal certification in Singapore and publishes a searchable list of halal-certified eating establishments and food preparation areas on halal.muis.gov.sg. Search the exact outlet, since certification is usually issued per premises, so one branch of a chain can differ from another.

Is Muslim-owned the same as halal certified?

No. Muslim-owned describes who runs the business, while halal certification is a status issued by MUIS after its own process. If you want certification, the MUIS directory is the place to check.

Does no pork no lard mean a restaurant is halal?

Not necessarily. According to MUIS, halal food must avoid all non-halal categories, not only pork and lard, and must be prepared with equipment and facilities free from cross-mixing with non-halal substances. A no pork no lard label tells you about two ingredients, not about certification.

What does the ABCDIS rule mean for halal food?

ABCDIS is a memory aid MUIS uses for non-halal food categories: amphibians, blood and birds of prey, carnivores, dead meat or carrion not slaughtered according to Islamic requirements, intoxicants such as alcohol, and swine such as pork and lard.

How do I get the best halal food deals in Singapore in 2026?

Use the vouchers listed inside the foodpanda app, compare delivery and pick-up costs, group orders with family or colleagues so fees are shared, and consider pandapro, foodpanda's subscription, if you order often.

pandapro is foodpanda's paid subscription. Members usually get delivery perks on qualifying orders and subscriber offers.

How does ShopBack work with foodpanda orders?

Open the foodpanda page on ShopBack Singapore, tap through to foodpanda, and complete your order in the same session. Going through ShopBack takes a few seconds and adds cashback to the same order.

Is cashback the same as pandapro perks or points?

No. Cashback lowers what you actually pay for an order. It comes back as cash, so it works like a discount on the price, not like points or miles. pandapro perks and vouchers are foodpanda's own offers that apply at checkout.
