Halal Food in 114 Arab St

This shophouse address occupies a prime position along Arab Street, the main commercial corridor running through Kampong Glam historic district. The conserved building forms part of the streetscape designated under Urban Redevelopment Authority conservation guidelines, preserving the architectural character that emerged during the early 20th century when commercial activity expanded in the area. The shophouses along Arab Street predominantly feature two or three-storey structures with ground floor retail and upper floor residential or office space. The street specialises in textiles, Islamic apparel, accessories, crystals and gemstones, maintaining commercial traditions established when Arab and Malay merchants settled the area following the 1822 Raffles Town Plan allocation. Contemporary tenants now include design firms, IT companies, art galleries, craft shops, food caterers, cafes, bars and restaurants, reflecting adaptive reuse while retaining the cultural essence. The mix creates a layered commercial environment serving both traditional customers and newer demographics drawn to heritage tourism. Adjacent streets including Haji Lane, Baghdad Street and Bussorah Street contribute to the district cohesive identity, with each lane developing its own character within the broader Kampong Glam precinct. The Sultan Mosque anchors the area as a religious and architectural focal point. The conservation efforts balance heritage preservation with commercial viability, permitting interior modifications while maintaining facade integrity. Arab Street experiences consistent pedestrian traffic throughout the week, intensifying during weekends when tourists and local visitors explore the shops, cafes and cultural attractions. The street character has evolved from purely traditional commerce into a hybrid zone where heritage trades coexist with contemporary lifestyle offerings.
