If you’re struggling to find halal food options, Yishun may just be the place to visit. Opening in late April, Kopitiam at Northpoint has opened Bagus Food Hall, an entirely halal food court.
When you step in, the ambience strikes you as calming and peaceful, with dimmer lighting as compared to other food courts.
The chairs in the outer area are cushioned, making for a more comfortable experience for diners. If you aren’t able to snag a seat there, don’t fret; there is seating aplenty further inside.
You won’t want to miss out on the Malay heritage-inspired lights hanging above the escalator. This light fixture is present not just there, but throughout the whole food court too, creating a warm atmosphere. A purple and red variation can be seen deeper inside the food court.
There are 12 stalls to pick from. What really intrigued us was the Chinese Roti Dumpling stall. Enjoy watching your dumplings being made on the spot, then savour them piping hot.
You can opt for either the Chicken Dumpling (S$4.50) or the Beef Dumpling (S$5); each is a suitable bite-sized snack for anyone craving finger food.
Traditionally, Mala Hotpot stalls are not halal certified, as pork is usually added to the broth for flavour. Visit this stall at Northpoint’s halal food court if you have been missing out until now. I must warn you in advance to be prepared for the incoming numbing sensation.
Northpoint accommodates foodies like me who like to dine with family and friends, because this halal food court also features a Steamboat stall.
If you’re eating by yourself and prefer local food instead, other stalls do sell local classics like Ban Mian, Rojak and Chicken Rice, which are all equally as filling and delicious.
Do pay this food court a visit if you’re in the area and let me know your thoughts on it!
