By cuisine specialty

Halal / vegetarian considerations

Most Filipino restaurants in SG are not halal-certified (lechon, sisig, adobo — pork-heavy). For halal kababayan and friends:

• Jollibee SG outlets: not halal-certified (uses pork in some prep stations); confirm at counter.
• Max's: generally not halal-certified.
• For halal Filipino-leaning meals: Indonesian/Malaysian restaurants that overlap (nasi padang, ayam goreng) often work.
