Halal Food in 2 Lim Teck Kim Rd

Located in the Tanjong Pagar area, this shophouse building along Lim Teck Kim Road has served as a commercial hub in Singapore's central business district fringe. The property comprises multiple units that house various businesses, reflecting the adaptive reuse of traditional shophouse architecture for modern commercial purposes. The building is perhaps best known for housing Akbar 24 Hours Restaurant, a halal dining establishment that has operated at this address since 1998. The restaurant has been a fixture in the neighbourhood, offering round-the-clock dining services to office workers, residents, and late-night diners. However, it faced a temporary licence suspension by the Singapore Food Agency under the Points Demerit System from November to December 2024. Beyond food establishments, the building also accommodates cultural organizations like the Hoi Thin Amateur Dramatic Association, which has been registered at this address since 2008. This mix of commercial and cultural tenants exemplifies the diverse use of shophouse spaces in Singapore's older districts.
