Most of Singapore's halal burger scene sits in Kampong Gelam, where Burgs, Kowboy, Smashed and Mahmud's Tandoor are a short walk apart, while hawker brands such as AshesBurnnit and The Only Burger sell smash burgers in the heartlands. Hawker burgers cost about $8-$12, and restaurant burgers in Kampong Gelam cost around $11-$16 before add-ons. Some of these spots are MUIS-certified and others are Muslim-owned but not certified, and each entry says which. Burgs on Bussorah Street stays open until 1am on Friday and Saturday.
