This is a Muslim-owned Halal restaurant at Downtown East that serves the usual tze char dishes. Most of the dishes are delicious. If there was one thing that felt lacking, it was that the portions were slightly small. Other than that, it was good.
As a Chinese who eats tze char regularly, I think this is the closest you can get to authentic Chinese tze char food that is Halal. I would come back to eat again.

Segar offers pocket-friendly prices with generous portions, making it a great spot for hearty meals.
Segar offers pocket-friendly prices with generous portions, making it a great spot for hearty meals. Their fish head curry is a must-try—rich, flavorful, and so good you’ll want to slurp up every drop of the gravy straight from the hotpot. The Mee Goreng is tasty, and you can swap seafood for beef with a small additional charge.
One standout dish is the Tom Yum noodle soup, served in a surprisingly large bowl—something you don’t often see. It’s hands down one of the best Tom Yum broths I’ve tried!
Overall, Segar delivers good food and good service, making it a worthwhile dining experience.

Not a bad place. When we arrived, there wasn't much of a crowd.
Let's dive in!
Food:
The food is tasty, and maybe we were just hungry since we just got out of the hospital .
Service:
Staff were smiling, but just the server. Perhaps they had a crowded lunch timing, so they kind of looked tired..
Atmosphere:
Staff were resting around and didn't look that presentable, actually. Maybe a divider would be more pleasant looking so that staff are not obviously resting in the eating area. The decor looked great, though!
All in all, it felt like a humble place to go to. So yeah, cheers!!

From time to time, when we crave a good family dining venue, we gravitate and return to Segar at different locations as they continue to please everyone in the family. It’s just hearty and satisfying soul food that hits the right spot for us. It’s been a while, and we thought what better than to have our regular family dinner at Segar @ Downtown East for iftar, or breaking fast. Knowing it’s popular with families, we inquired first if it was possible to reserve a table in time or closer to break fast. They were not only accommodating, but the lovely young lady who served us kindly helped us to inform the kitchen to prep and get the food ready just in time as the muezzin's call for Maghrib signalled it was time to break fast. How thoughtful and kind. And of course, the simple but empathetic gesture of leaving a small bowl of dates for our little family is not only appreciated but loved.
As for the food, it remains authentically delicious and good. Taking a leaf from their profile, we are blessed that these two culinary experts came together as co-founders and good friends over the decades to bring us Segar. Paul Tan, a chef trained in Chinese Zichar cuisine from Kuantan, Malaysia, combined with Sulaiman Juahir, a Singaporean trained in western cuisine, who rose through the ranks in the hotel industry to eventually become a chef, winning numerous awards and accolades in the culinary world in Asia. So, we the customers benefit. With their love of great-tasting food, these two very different individuals hail from two different worlds of culinary tastes, literally, East and West, to give us and provide only the best ingredients and cooking styles.
‘...With Paul’s traditional Zichar homestyle recipes and wok-frying prowess, and Sulaiman’s meticulous and precise cooking methodology, processes, and quality control, they embarked on this journey to create a Muslim-owned group of restaurants spanning over 15 years and counting.’
We took the special package meal set for two for my daughter, while I went for their satisfying wok hei-style hor fun, which is best savoured freshly cooked straight from the kitchen. For my son, who doesn’t eat vegetables and lots of other stuff, there’s their signature fried rice, beautifully cooked with wok hei, so to speak; he’s happy with it. Of course, we added extra dishes to complete the meal.
Be it Segar – they have several outlets at various locations in Singapore – or the other family favourites of ours called A Poh’s Kitchen at Clementi for traditional classic Chinese round-table family dining, we just love them all. We have not had unsatisfying food from any of their restaurants; they are all good. And we are forever thankful they are halal, which pleases our blended family with Chinese roots in it.
Big heart hugs from us.

Convenient location, just 2 minutes from the interchange. Variety of nice food. Horfun was okay, jus
Convenient location, just 2 minutes from the interchange. Offers a variety of nice food. The hor fun was okay, just a little salty. Everything else was acceptable. Service is good, and food was served fast.
