Today, July 26, 2018 marks the day that Hawker
Chan, also known as the cheapest Michelin-starred restaurant in the world
opened its door to the Filipino public with its first branch located at the SM
Mall of Asia Complex. Considered as the next big thing in Metro Manila’s
bustling dining scene, the internationally acclaimed Singapore-based restaurant
promises to rock the Philippines with its gloriously delicious dishes,
especially its soya chicken rice.
Yesterday, several media people were invited to the
first tasting of Hawkers Chan’s mouthwatering dishes that have captivated
people across the region. Among the dishes that we’ve sampled and tasted were its
signature combination platter of char siew, roasted pork, and pork rib. We’ve
tried it with rice and with noodles and I must say that the rice and noodles are
partnered perfectly with the combination platter. What more, I fell in love at
first bite with Hawker Chan’s Green Chili! It is great with meat. (Warning: The green chili is highly
addicting with char siew, roasted pork, pork rib and chicken). And you know what
is more exciting? These dishes are priced to be extremely pocket-friendly. On
the average, the price range per dish is only PHP 100.00 to 150.00!
WHERE IT ALL BEGAN
The global popularity of Hawker Chan belies its
humble beginnings. Founded by Malaysian Chef
Chan Hong Mong, the son of a farmer, who flew to Singapore in the 1980s and
trained under a Hong Kong chef where he first learned to prepare the now famous
Singapore Soya Sauce Chicken and Noodle under his mentor’s guidance.
In 2009, Chan Hong Mong opened a small store at the
Chinatown Complex, the largest open-air hawker centre in Singapore, where he
served soya sauce Chicken rice – a dish that quickly caught the imagination of
diners across Singapore. Through the years, Chan Hong Mong painstakingly
refined his recipe, to the delight of diners who lined up hours on end at the
stall.
In July of 2016, Michelin’s Singapore Guide debuted
and among those recognized was Hawker Chan making it the
cheapest Michelin-starred restaurant in the world. Just this month, Liao
Fan Hawker Chan at 78 Smith Street in Singapore was among the 50 restaurants
included in the 2018 Bib Gourmand Awards, which recognizes eateries with menu
items that cost no more than S$45, for their value for money.
HAWKER CHAN IN THE PHILIPPINES
Thanks to Foodee Global Concepts, the industry
maverick that has transformed the Filipino dining scene with groundbreaking
offerings such as the Michelin-starred Tim Ho Wan, FOO’D By Davide Oldani,
Tsuta Japanese Soba Noodles and Llaollao’s unique Spanish frozen yogurt, they
recognized the Filipinos’ love and curiosity for food and as such they responded
by bringing to the country the offerings of top-rated restaurants that have won
the hearts of people around the world.
“We’ve seen
how Filipinos try to visit the top-rated restaurants whenever they travel, so
we thought why not bring these restaurants to the country? Since Pinoys love to
visit Hawker Chan in Singapore, we thought we’d bring it here, and offer the
same combination of great food and affordable luxury to them,” said FOODEE Global Concepts CEO, Mr. Rikki
Dee.
