Taiseer

Taiseer operates from the second floor of Circuit Road Market and Food Centre, serving a blend of Middle Eastern and Malay cuisine to the MacPherson neighbourhood. The stall represents one of the relatively few places in Singapore where diners can find halal Middle Eastern flavours in a traditional hawker centre setting.

The menu bridges culinary traditions, offering both Middle Eastern specialties and local Malay favourites. Their Mee Soto, priced at just three dollars, provides a comforting bowl of spiced noodle soup that exemplifies value-for-money hawker fare. The dish features tender chicken or beef in a fragrant, turmeric-tinged broth served with rice vermicelli noodles.

Beyond their hot meals, Taiseer has earned recognition for their curry puffs, known locally as epok-epok. These golden parcels feature thin, crispy pastry shells encasing flavourful fillings of spiced potato and meat. Customers particularly appreciate the superior pastry texture compared to many other curry puff vendors, with the thin skin achieving an ideal crispness while the filling delivers satisfying spice and flavour.

The hawker centre location keeps prices accessible while maintaining quality preparation. For residents in the MacPherson and Geylang areas seeking halal Middle Eastern and Malay food without travelling to more touristy areas like Arab Street, Taiseer offers a convenient neighbourhood option that focuses on honest, flavourful cooking.
