Citrus by the Pool Singapore: Menu, Prices & Halal Café Review

Woodlands has a secret the rest of Singapore is slowly discovering: Citrus by the Pool, a halal-certified Western fusion cafe tucked inside the Woodlands Swimming Complex, open till the small hours and priced like the neighbourhood gem it is. Neon signs, poolside-adjacent seating, and a menu that swings from truffle fries to tom yum pasta to molten lava cake.

Mains mostly sit between S$19 and S$27 — remarkable for the portions. A solid alternative is the Collins menu, known for its halal Western grills across the island. For late-night halal supper in a different neighbourhood, the Nando’s menu covers flame-grilled chicken till late.

Frequently Asked Questions About Citrus by the Pool Singapore

Yes — it is a halal-certified café, a genuine rarity in the north. The whole menu, from the Da Burger Bomb to the Tom Yum Seafood Pasta, is prepared in a halal kitchen. That certification plus late hours makes it a go-to for Muslim families and supper crowds in Woodlands.

Daily 11am–5am, with last order at 4am — one of the latest halal kitchens in Singapore. The 5am close is the real differentiator; few halal cafés serve proper mains past midnight. It sits at the entrance of Woodlands Swimming Complex, so it works for both post-swim meals and late-night dessert runs.

The weekday lunch set starts from S$18.80 with one appetiser, one main and one drink, available Monday–Thursday 11am–4pm. For a halal café with mains normally S$12–S$18, the set is the best-value way to eat here. Check their socials for the current set line-up before going.

The Grilled Free Range Chicken (about S$12.80–S$14.90) is the signature — sous-vide then grilled crisp, served with housemade citrus sauce. The Da Burger Bomb (S$15.50) and Tom Yum Seafood Pasta (S$15.50) are the fusion crowd-pleasers. Finish with the Molten Chocolate Lava Cake (S$8.80), which regulars swear by.

No — the café sits just at the entrance of Woodlands Swimming Complex and is open to the public. Plenty of diners come purely for the food, especially families and supper groups. You can book a table through their website if you are heading down at peak dinner hours.

Conclusion

The Citrus by the Pool menu is Woodlands’ halal supper answer: certified kitchen, S$18.80 weekday lunch sets, and doors open till 5am daily. The S$12.80 grilled free-range chicken and S$8.80 molten lava cake are the orders that built its following. Come for the value, stay because nowhere else halal nearby is still serving at 2am.
