Given how ubiquitous takoyaki is, it is almost impossible to imagine that a food establishment is able to rise to fame by specialising only in that. But here comes Yummy Takoyaki—a halal takeaway stall in East Village opposite...
An initiative by Project Warung, Burgs is a Halal-certified gourmet burger stall that has been gaining a fair bit of attention among the young Muslim population for their quality burgers that are sold at affordable prices.
