There’s something here for everyone!
Running out of ideas on where to Iftar? Here are 10 places for you to go for a satisfying meal with your family and friends when the sun goes down. From buffets to menus that are exclusive this Ramadan, we have something for everyone!
1. Badoque Cafe
Badoque Cafe is known for their amazingly huge portions which make it a great place for sharing. It has two outlets – Upper Thomson and Bedok – to satisfy the taste buds of its customers.
Their menu is quite extensive, so take your time to look through a wide range of starters and mains. We recommend that you kick off your meal with the Kepak Bing Bing which means Ultra spicy chicken wings ($5.50), pizzas and even donburi (Japanese rice bowl) that they offer! They pride themselves in serving up humongous portions, so definitely bear that in mind when you order their mains. Order their Badoque Ribs ($36), which serves up chunks of moist beef ribs glazed in a delicious tangy, savoury sweet American barbeque sauce.
There’s bound to be something that appeals to everyone in the family!
Where: No. 246 Upper Thomson Rd S574370/246 Bedok Rd, Singapore 469420

2. BURGS
Tucked away at Golden Mile Food Centre lies a newly opened eatery Burgs, a halal eatery that is helmed by 3 young chefs. They serve burgers that are quality yet cheap – the most expensive one is a mere $6.50 and all burgers come with fries!
It offers a wide selection from Nacho Fish and Chips Burger ($4.90), Chicken Teriyaki Burger ($5.50) to one of its signatures, the Burg’s Breakfast Burger ($6.50).
The Nacho Fish and Chips Burger offers a deep fried pollack fillet which is tender on the inside and crispy on the outside. The nacho cheese is complemented with homemade tar tar sauce to further enhance the flavour of the fish!
Top up an additional $1 to swap those fries for onion rings, and if you’re famished just top up $2.50 for an additional beef patty.

7. VXX Cooperative
While they are not halal certified, the folks at VXX only use Halal ingredients and is one of the few Muslim-friendly cafes in Jalan Besar.
We heard that the Banana French Toast ($12) is an old favourite that the customers absolutely love! Featuring mascarpone, frozen berries and coffee custard – it is indeed a curious mix. The coffee custard goes so well with the tangy mascarpone and the sweetness of the berries.
Insider Tip: Add a scoop of Coffee ice cream to your toast! ($4)
Their newly introduced Miso-maple Salmon ($21) is a hit with the crowd so do give that a go too!
Aside from that VXX knows their coffee – they have a curated list of roasts that spans from Malaysia all the way to Sweden.
