7. Kucina Italian Restaurant
Introduction: Kucina Italian Restaurant is founded in June 2016 by Chef Gero @ Omar, an Italian-Muslim revert, who has over 30 years of experience in Italian cuisine. Realising that there’s no authentic and halal Italian food in Singapore, he decided to open the first one. Chef Gero wants to introduce Italian food to the Muslim community, who may not have the chance to enjoy such food due to the ingredients commonly used in Italian dishes.
Authenticity, in Kucina’s context, is all about retaining the original method of preparing Italian food – no short-cuts or fusion. You can never find any other halal Italian food in Singapore that are more authentic and halal than the food served at Kucina. Why? Firstly, the restaurant is spearheaded by an Italian head chef who has an extensive knowledge on Italian food. Secondly, and most importantly, it is MUIS halal certified.
The word Kucina is inspired by the actual word “Cucina” which means ‘kitchen’ in Italian. To suit the local enunciation of words, the letter K is used instead of C. Hence, the word KUCINA is formed.
The open concept kitchen is introduced to allow customers to have a first-hand view of the preparation of the food by the chefs. They will be able to witness the freshness of produce used and the passion that the chefs possess in order to deliver the best Halal Italian food. The name Kucina represents the essence and heart of the restaurant. For Italians, life revolves around the kitchen at home, with their mothers making fresh pasta, pizza, bread and the best Tiramisu.
Inspired by the ‘Trattoria’ style, the wooden tables, brick accent walls, cement floor and warm lightings depict the warmth, coziness and homely feel at Kucina. At the entrance, you will find the quintessential bespoke 1960’s Vespa to give the authentic feel of Italy.

15. Fika Swedish Cafe & Bistro
Introduction: At Fika, serving home-cooked, traditional (Halal) Swedish food and pastry is their passion. They use only the finest and freshest ingredients to create our dishes that will fill your belly and warm your heart.
Fika is a social institution in Sweden; it means having a coffee with one’s colleagues, friends, date, or family. The word has quite ambiguous connotations and can mean anything from taking a break from work or other activities, to going on a date. Swedes are among the heaviest consumers of coffee in the world and this practice of taking a break for a coffee, typically with a cinnamon roll and/or some biscuits or cookies, or sometimes a smörgås on the side, is central to Swedish life.
Although the word may in itself imply “taking a break from work”, this is often emphasied using the word fikapaus (“fika pause”) or fikarast (“fika break”), with kaffepaus and kafferast, respectively, as near synonyms. The shorter word fika may equally well mean having coffee with a friend at a café or konditori (a “patisserie-based coffeehouse”)
There is also a Swedish record in fika where as many people as possible are gathered to fika. Kalmar were first to break a Swedish fika record. On June 6, 2007, 2620 people sat down together for a fika. source: http://en.wikipedia.org

From the old days of having just the “One and Only Burger” to our current gourmet menu of home-ground patties, (working title) encapsulates the essence of The Black Hole Group and our growth over the years.
Artisanal coffee, gourmet burgers, grunge brunch and curated furnishing – the black hole is full of it.

She started her bread and pastry journey in 2012 at The International Culinary Institute, NYC, and spent the next four years in the city working at different bakeries and restaurants. But it wasn’t till she worked at bakery in Brooklyn that her love for the craft deepened, and where she studied the process and rhythms of slow fermentation, and tasted one of the best baguettes.
Naadhira’s favourite way to start the day is having fresh baguette with honey, and dunking a flakey buttery croissant into good coffee. And backing her is a pretty awesome team.

30. Fluff Bakery
Introduction: Head Baker Nursyazanna Syaira started out baking cupcakes in her mom’s kitchen and taking small orders from family and friends as a hobby.

A year later her dream was realized with the opening of Halal-owned Fluff Bakery at Jalan Pisang.

31. Fika Swedish Cafe & Bistro
Introduction: Fika is a social institution in Sweden; it means having a coffee with one’s colleagues, friends, date, or family. The word has quite ambiguous connotations and can mean anything from taking a break from work or other activities, to going on a date. Swedes are among the heaviest consumers of coffee in the world and this practice of taking a break for a coffee, typically with a cinnamon roll and/or some biscuits or cookies, or sometimes a smörgås on the side, is central to Swedish life.
Although the word may in itself imply “taking a break from work”, this is often emphasied using the word fikapaus (“fika pause”) or fikarast (“fika break”), with kaffepaus and kafferast, respectively, as near synonyms. The shorter word fika may equally well mean having coffee with a friend at a café or konditori (a “patisserie-based coffeehouse”)
There is also a Swedish record in fika where as many people as possible are gathered to fika. Kalmar were first to break a Swedish fika record. On June 6, 2007, 2620 people sat down together for a fika. source: http://en.wikipedia.org

35. Overrice
Introduction: Founded by four gentlemen with a passion for travelling and a penchant for discovering different cuisines from all around the world. In their pursuit, one dish that stood out was a certain mediterranean influenced bowl sold from food pushcarts at the corners of Manhattan, New York
Overrice offers freshly prepared all-in-one bowls with a choice of slow cooked pulled beef, grilled chicken or a plant-based option, fried falafel balls. It is served over seasoned basmati rice, with freshly baked pita bread and mixed salad tucked neatly on the side.
Aside from the expertly prepared versions of Mediterranean rice bowls, Overrice’s expanded menu includes pita pockets (a lighter version of the same variety) and fancy New York inspired mocktails. Also, in the spirit of the “support local” movement, Overrice has partnered with up and coming talented dessert chefs.
The highlight of the whole Overrice experience are the two sauces that accompany each meal — the elusive yet addictive white sauce, and a fiery hot chilli sauce blend. Though the actual recipes remain secret, they’ve got them committed to memory and down to a science — freshly prepared by hand and bottled daily with no preservatives added.
Every detail has been thought out — their to-go food packaging is made from reclaimed and rapidly renewable sugarcane pulp, (a by-product of the sugar refining industry that remains after the juice has been extracted) a resource that would otherwise be discarded and burned. As an added bonus, their bowls are microwave-safe, making reheating convenient.

36. Chix Hot Chicken
Introduction: Singapore’s First Nashville Hot Chicken Concept Nashville, known as the Music City; famous for their country music, southern hospitality and comfort food and one of the things you’re sure to hear about if you read up on Nashville is a local dish called “Nashville hot chicken,” a local culinary specialty. Nashville hot chicken is quickly becoming Nashville’s worst kept secret. The scorching, crunchy poultry explosion is so uniquely appetizing it’d make Music City a worthy vacation destination even without the music. Like any truly iconic dish, it has a great story to tell, filled with raw human emotion, controversy, and strange hallucinations.
Back in the 1930s, Thornton Prince III’s (The Founder of Nashville Hot Chicken…) girlfriend was so fed up with his womanising that, one night when he stumbled into his Nashville home late and full of excuses, she decided to teach him a lesson. Putting a malicious twist on the old saying that the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, she prepared Prince a buttermilk-fried chicken breakfast, doused in what she believed to be an intolerable amount of cayenne pepper and a few others known to be the the world’s hottest peppers. Prince however liked it so much that he opened up a restaurant – as a single man of course and till this day the restaurant, Prince’s Hot Chicken still remains.
Co-founders Taufik Batisah & Ismail Bober is proud to announce the official opening of Chix Hot Chicken at 1 Jalan Pisang, a halal-friendly fast casual restaurant serving Nashville Hot Chicken which comes with 3 different levels: Mild Hotness, Extra Hotness and Insane Hotness. They also serve Nashville hot chicken sandwich and thick vanilla milkshake. For those who can’t take the heat, they do have non-spicy fried chicken too! For Taufik & Bober who first became friends at the gym 11 years ago, the idea of going into business together was sparked by their love for fried chicken. “The idea of Nashville Hot Chicken intrigued me after watching an episode of Anthony Bourdain’s Parts Unknown. I travelled to Nashville to try this famous dish and simply fell in love with it & the southern hospitality. We brought the concept here and use the hottest organic dry peppers (Carolina reaper & Ghost Peppers) & other “secret” spices for our chicken to bring a different kind of taste & heat to Singapore” said Bober.
Being the first ever Halal friendly Nashville hot chicken restaurant in Singapore, Chix hopes that our customers will truly enjoy its hot chicken and leave with a smile or in tears… (Depends on how hot they go!) “We believe it’s very important for the quality of our food to match the quality of our service. Our goal is to provide a memorable & fun experience for every single customer. We treat everyone like family and with that we hope that our patrons will feel at home when they drop by,” said Taufik.
