Halal Food in Bussorah Street

At 71 Bussorah Street, visitors find themselves in the heart of Kampong Glam's historic mosque precinct. This address sits within the conserved district that once served as Kampong Kaji, the Pilgrim Village where Indonesian Muslims would prepare for their journey to Mecca when sailing ships departed from Singapore's port. The location's historical significance extends beyond religious pilgrimage, as the area hosted sheikh hajis who provided religious classes to prepare pilgrims for their trips. The shophouses along this stretch date from 1840 to 1900, featuring architectural elements suited to Singapore's tropical climate including high ceilings, airwells, and overlapping roof tiles. Sultan Mosque stands at the end of the street, its golden domes visible as you approach. Originally built in 1824 for Sultan Hussein Shah with funding from the East India Company, the mosque was rebuilt in 1932 by architect Denis Santry. Today, 71 Bussorah Street benefits from Bugis MRT's proximity, making it easily accessible while maintaining the tranquil, pedestrian-friendly atmosphere that makes this one of Singapore's most distinctive heritage districts.
