Restaurant Aisyah Halal Chinese XinJiang Cuisine is a halal Chinese restaurant serving Xinjiang-style cooking at 25 Arab Street in Kampong Glam, Singapore, with a 4.5 rating on Google.
Halal Chinese kitchens do without pork and alcohol altogether, and lamb does much of the work that pork does elsewhere — a genuine find for Muslim diners who want Chinese food with certainty about what is on the plate. Xinjiang cuisine, from China's far northwest, is built on hand-pulled noodles, cumin-scented lamb, chilli heat and generous platters made for sharing, so it rewards coming with company and ordering across the table. When choosing where to go, look for signs of food made on the premises — noodles pulled fresh, lamb that smells sweet rather than gamey — and ask what is good that day.
Its Arab Street address puts it a short stroll from Sultan Mosque, in the middle of one of Singapore's oldest Malay-Arab quarters.
