Halal stalls at Haig Road Market & Food Centre

Haig Road Market & Food Centre sits a few minutes' walk from Geylang Serai, and shares its neighbour's character: a big share of the cooked-food stalls here are Muslim-owned, making it one of the easiest hawker centres in Singapore for halal-conscious diners to graze through. It is best known for putu piring — the steamed rice-flour cakes filled with gula melaka that have made the centre a pilgrimage stop — alongside nasi padang, ayam penyet, mee rebus, goreng pisang and Indian-Muslim favourites. Because it pulls slightly fewer tourists than Geylang Serai proper, queues are often shorter and seats easier to find, which makes it a good lunch alternative when the market is heaving. As at every hawker centre, halal status is a per-stall matter: many stalls here are Muslim-owned rather than MUIS-certified, so look for the certificate or halal signage at each stall. Paya Lebar MRT is roughly ten minutes away on foot.

Your questions, answered

Are the stalls at Haig Road Market & Food Centre halal?

Halal status is per stall — a hawker centre itself is never 'halal'. Haig Road has a notably high share of Muslim-owned stalls, but certification and ownership vary stall to stall, so check for a MUIS certificate or Muslim-owned signage at each one.

What is Haig Road famous for?

Putu piring above all — the steamed rice cakes with gula melaka — plus a strong spread of Malay staples like nasi padang, ayam penyet and goreng pisang.

How do I get to Haig Road Market & Food Centre?
