Twenty Grammes, the dessert cafe on North Bridge Road known for its mochi waffles, gelato and celebration cakes, sits a short walk from the Kampong Glam and Bugis halal food belt, which is exactly why its halal status gets searched so often. The register answer is at the top of this page; here is the context around it.
What Twenty Grammes says
Twenty Grammes has not published a halal certification or a halal position for its Singapore operations. Its official website, which covers the cafe menu, custom cakes and wholesale bakes, makes no mention of halal status, Muslim friendly ingredients, or statements like no pork, no lard or no alcohol. Local food media that have reviewed the cafe note plainly that it is not a halal-certified eatery. Questions about specific items, such as gelatine in the mochi batter or alcohol in flavourings, are best directed to the cafe itself, since recipes and suppliers can change without notice.
What this means for you
With no certificate and no published ingredient stance, there is nothing to verify against the register and nothing from the brand to weigh either. That puts Twenty Grammes in the least verifiable bucket: dessert cafes routinely use gelatine, wine-based flavourings and shared equipment, and only the kitchen can tell you what applies here. If certification is your standard, treat Twenty Grammes as unverified rather than as either halal or non-halal, and re-check the register from time to time, since independent cafes do certify premises when they choose to.
Certified alternatives
The surrounding Bugis and Kampong Glam area is dense with certified dessert options, so a verifiable sweet ending is never far away:
- Snack bars and bakeries - the register category that covers most certified cake shops and dessert counters.
- Swensen’s - a certified chain for ice cream sundaes and waffle-style desserts.
- Polar Puffs & Cakes - a certified local bakery chain for cakes and pastries.
To check any specific outlet, use the register search with the outlet name or the mall’s postal code.
