Sarima Café

Eater describes a halal café menu with chicken versions of Filipino tocino and longganisa. The guide's claim is attributed here rather than treated as an independent certificate.

For these places the halal evidence is an attributed or older report without a current independent record for the branch, or another point is unresolved. Confirm the current halal scope directly before visiting.
