Located across the street from Sultan Mosque at the corner of Arab Street and Bridge Road is the legendary Singapore Zam Zam, one of the most famous places to eat murtabak the entire city. They are nearly always busy, and while they do have a full menu of Indian dishes, including rice and curry, they are most well known for their murtabak.

Originally ar Arab food, murtabak in Singapore is often a combination of Arab and Indian flavors and cooking methods. The process begins with a ball of dough with is pounded out into a very thin sheet by tossing and flapping the dough. Once it’s paper thin, a mixture of spices and minced meat (depending upon what murtabak version you ordered) is mixed up into the middle of the dough. Next, one of the most important things to add is an egg – and at Zam Zam he expertly tossed in the egg, then mixed it up with his hand so it almost immediately mixed. The next step it was wrapped up into a package so the dough was covering all sides, and then it was tossed onto a hot skillet filled with oil where it deep fried and fried until crispy and golden brown on all sides.

I decided to go with two different types of murtabak, one filled with beef and one filled with chicken, and they were both served with a curry dipping sauce on the side. There were five different sizes of the murtabak that you could order as well, and I chose the medium size, but we got two of them to share. Both of the murtabaks were extraordinarily delicious, filled with a combination of minced meat and chicken, plus egg, lots of onions, and some spices. And having the bowl of curry sauce on the side to add to each bite, elevated it to make it even better. I thought the chicken murtabak was the best, but the curry sauce served with the beef one was better. So they were both delicious.

  1. When you come back you should try Mrs and Mr Morgan prata at koon Seng road , it is on another level, also try the rojak, duck rice and wanton noodles at dunman food court which is right next to it.

  2. Oh man, this is my all-time favorite comfort food ever experienced! I never got to Zam Zam, but there's really good Murtabak at the Newton Hawker Centre and I think about it often, unable to find it around me back in Philly PA USA.

  3. Mark Mark Mark. Are you going to eat your food or make love to it?? I don’t know if your wife gets jealous or blushes the way you daintily caress it.
    Just teasing. I do like some commentary on food history and ingredients. Culture. But some of the gestures are over the top and I’m afraid your eyeballs will pop out.

  4. I first went to Sam Zam’s in 1970..stayed in Singapore for over twenty years..it was always a favourite. The stair carpet had to be changed every year because it was so greasy! Food amazing..consistently good. Unfortunately no licence for beer etc.

  5. Need more honest reviews. You seem to like everything you eat. Is there anything where you inserted something in your mouth and didn’t like? Think Gordon Ramsay
