About Five Spice

Five Spice operates as a vibrant 24-hour food court at Jewel Changi Airport, managed by Food Junction and designed to celebrate Southeast Asian hawker culture with a modern twist. Located at basement level 2, this expansive food hall features modern art, colourful murals, and Peranakan tiles that create a laidback yet visually engaging dining atmosphere unlike traditional hawker centres.

The food court showcases local heritage food brands including Boon Tat Street BBQ seafood serving favourites like chilli crab and sambal stingray, Fu Xiang Treasures known for curry chicken since the 1990s, and Guan Chee HK Roast. Regional offerings include KL Damansara Chilli Ban Mee and Padang Lezat by IndoChili, while modern concepts like Chen's Mapo Tofu - a spinoff from Michelin-starred Shinsen Hanten by Chen Kentaro - demonstrate the food court's range from traditional to contemporary.

Five Spice has an ongoing collaboration with Anthony The Spice Maker, a local spice epicurean with 33 years of blending experience, adding another layer of authenticity to the dining experience. Operating around the clock at 78 Airport Boulevard, this food court serves both transit passengers and locals seeking quality hawker fare in air-conditioned comfort, successfully capturing the essence of Singapore's hawker culture within the airport's premier retail and dining destination.

Understanding Halal Status Types in Singapore

MUIS Halal Certified

The establishment has passed the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore's official halal audit. This is the gold standard for halal assurance — food sourcing, preparation, storage, and handling are all verified by MUIS inspectors.

Muslim-Owned

The establishment is owned and operated by Muslims. While not formally MUIS-certified, Muslim ownership provides trust as the proprietors are accountable under Islamic principles. Many popular Singapore eateries are Muslim-owned without MUIS certification.

No Pork, No Lard

The establishment does not serve pork or use lard in cooking, but may not have formal halal certification. This is common in food courts where individual stalls have different halal statuses. Always check for a displayed MUIS certificate at each stall.
