If you’re a Muslim, you’d already be used to ensuring that every morsel which goes into your mouth daily must, indeed, be certified Halal. For the reason that Malaysia is a melting pot of cultures and scrumptious, heavenly food, it is no surprise that some Muslims are fond of Chinese food.
The challenge would evidently be this – hunting down 100% Halal authentic Chinese restaurants which are able to serve you with the same great taste and flavour with no compromise. After exploring, here are 5 spots we definitely recommend.
Restaurant NJ Zenith
Owned by a Chinese Muslim, Zenith has been operating for over 5 years and has gained popularity among the Muslim community ever since. Initially, the restaurant started off serving a mix of Malay and Chinese food. But when the owner realized that there were so little Chinese restaurants catering to Muslims in Malaysia, she switched out the menu to serve only authentic Chinese food. The intense growth of the restaurant goes to show that that decision was by far, the best one made.
Do try their Ying Yang Fish, Salted Egg Prawns and Fu Yong Egg.

Mohammad Chow Chinese Muslim Kitchen
If you’re living in Petaling Jaya, you’re in luck because this new restaurant has just opened its doors in July this year. Not only is the place super cozy and comfortable, their Chinese food is said to be top notch. When dining here, don’t forget to leave some tummy space for their desserts as well. If you need to, the restaurant also has a special area for prayers. Super convenient, if you ask me!
They serve one of the best durian puffs, yum!

Aside from all the regular Chinese dishes, this place is also popular because they serve pau and dim sum from 3pm – 5pm daily for tea break.
