Halal Food in Upper Boon Keng Road

Upper Boon Keng Road Coffee Shop at 5 Upper Boon Keng Road #01-01 serves the Kallang neighbourhood as part of the Upper Boon Keng food precinct, an area that has developed into one of Singapore's most significant halal dining destinations. Located near the larger Upper Boon Keng Market & Food Centre at Block 17, this coffee shop benefits from the area's concentration of Muslim-owned and halal-certified establishments.\n\nThe Upper Boon Keng area underwent extensive refurbishment works before reopening to serve the community with improved facilities while maintaining the authentic neighbourhood character. The precinct's reputation rests on legendary establishments like Haji M Abdul Rajak's soup kambing, dubbed Singapore's best by many devotees, and Al Hikmah Chicken Rice (formerly Effendy Food Corner), which continues serving the same quality chicken rice under a new name.\n\nFor Muslim diners, the Upper Boon Keng area offers exceptional convenience with eleven halal hidden gems concentrated in a small radius, including stalls serving nasi rawon, mee rebus, prata, briyani, and various Malay specialities. The coffee shop at Block 5 operates within this ecosystem, where the concentration of halal options has transformed the neighbourhood into a destination for Muslim families seeking authentic flavours without worrying about halal certification. This community-focused approach has sustained the area's reputation as a reliable halal dining precinct for decades.
