Where to Eat Near Marina Bay MRT

Marina Bay's office towers turn out to be one of the CBD's strongest halal lunch pockets: MUIS-certified counters are scattered through Marina One's food hall The Heart, the Marina Bay Link Mall under the Marina Bay Financial Centre, and the Asia Square food garden — halal Japanese gyoza and donburi, Sichuan rice bowls, nasi lemak, fish and chips and build-your-own pasta among them. After the halal picks, this guide groups the rest by cuisine — Cantonese and Taiwanese, a Japanese izakaya, rooftop Western dining and Mediterranean kebabs — each ordered by distance from the station. Halal status is checked against the official MUIS register.

A halal Japanese kiosk in Marina One's basement food hall, The Heart, Gyoza-San pan-fries its dumplings to order in around eight fillings — from the original chicken to prawn-and-chicken ebi, special unagi, kimchi, tom yum and even a chilli-crab version. There are only a couple of counter seats, so most people grab a box back to the desk. A rare certified Japanese option in the financial district. MUIS halal-certified.
