Ananas Cafe (Closed)

Ananas Cafe was a popular halal-certified takeaway chain that operated at multiple MRT stations across Singapore, serving as a convenient dining option for commuters and residents seeking affordable Muslim-friendly meals. The cafe was certified by MUIS (Islamic Religious Council of Singapore), ensuring compliance with halal standards while offering a menu focused on local Singaporean, Malay, and Asian cuisines.

What made Ananas Cafe particularly notable was its commitment to providing quality halal food at exceptionally affordable prices. The cafe's two most popular offerings, Nasi Lemak and Chicken Rice, were both priced at just per plate, making it an accessible choice for budget-conscious diners without compromising on taste. This pricing strategy, combined with their strategic locations at MRT stations including Sengkang, Canberra, Yew Tee, Boon Lay, Choa Chu Kang, Yishun, Eunos, and Tampines Central, made Ananas Cafe a go-to spot for quick, satisfying meals.

The cafe operated as a takeaway-focused establishment, perfect for commuters looking to grab a quick bite before or after their journey. The simple yet flavorful menu catered to those seeking familiar local tastes prepared according to halal standards. Reviewers described the food as "simple but yummy," highlighting the cafe's ability to deliver satisfying meals despite the modest price points.

At its peak, Ananas Cafe had established a strong presence across Singapore's MRT network, with outlets conveniently located at numerous stations. However, the chain has since ceased operations at various locations, with some outlets either closing permanently or no longer maintaining halal certification. While it served the community during its operational years, the cafe's legacy remains as an example of accessible, halal-certified local cuisine that met the needs of Singapore's diverse Muslim community.
