We got a chance to have a quick chat with Chef Chan Hong Meng the founder of Hawker Chan from Singapore. We got in touch with the chef during the grand opening of Hawker Chan in SM Mall of Asia.
After the ribbon cutting and food fest, we shook his hand and thank him for making it here to the Philippines and also receiving another Michelin star award once again for the 3rd time for the soya chicken product at Hawker Chan. Hawker Chan just opened its doors this August 2018 at the SM Mall of Asia ground level near IMAX Theater. Hawker Chan is the most cheapest Michelin starred resto in the world and people go here for the famous soya chicken made by Chef Chan.
Here’s our short chat with Chef Chan.
Q: Any plans of developing new recipe in the future?Chef Chan: So for now there's no plan yet, the most important thing to do is to make sure the consistency of the food and maintain the good quality of the food
Q: Is this the first branch outside Singapore?Chef Chan: We have also in Melbourne, Thailand, Indonesia, and also in Taiwan, so this is not the first branch outside Singapore.
Q: The noodles, chicken and pork is loved by Filipinos, we love meat and also noodles, For you is there any Filipino food that is close to your heart?Chef Chan: For me its the CRISPY PATA, I love the pork knuckles deep fried, its very similar to Singapore's version, and here in the Philippines the Crispy Pata is good
Q: Do you have any secret in making these delicious food?Chef Chan: Everyone loves chicken, everyone eats chicken, and also soya, so I combined soya and chicken because everyone is so familiar with the taste and the ingredients, and many people accepted this product because they know what it is
