Traditional Korean cuisine frequently uses pork and alcohol. However, Muslim-owned Korean restaurants in Singapore serve halal versions of Korean BBQ, fried chicken, bibimbap, and stews using halal-certified meats.
Korean BBQ can be halal when the restaurant uses halal-certified beef and chicken and does not serve pork alongside. Several Muslim-owned Korean BBQ restaurants operate in Singapore, particularly near Tanjong Pagar.
Korean fried chicken from Muslim-owned or MUIS-certified restaurants is halal. The chicken is prepared with halal-certified poultry and the signature sweet-spicy sauce does not contain alcohol.
