Hanok by Masizzim

Hanok by Masizzim brought authentic Korean comfort food to Singapore's dining scene as a halal-certified spin-off of the popular Masizzim chain. Located at Westgate in Jurong East, this restaurant carved out a unique niche by offering traditional Korean stews and dishes without pork or lard, making them accessible to Muslim diners craving K-drama-worthy meals.

The menu featured an extensive selection mirroring Masizzim's beloved offerings, with signature items including hearty Shabu-Shabu, mixed-grain rice balls, crispy egg rolls, and Korean pancakes. Their specialty was the flavorful and spicy beef stew, served with generous soup refills at no extra charge. Each meal came with an array of traditional Korean side dishes, staying true to the authentic dining experience.

The restaurant's ambiance reflected its Korean heritage, providing diners with a taste of Seoul right in the heart of Jurong. While some found the pricing slightly on the higher side, many appreciated the quality and authenticity of the halal Korean cuisine on offer. Unfortunately, Hanok by Masizzim ceased operations in May 2023, leaving behind fond memories for those who enjoyed their fusion of Korean culinary traditions with halal dining standards.
