Hawker Chan opens at SM City San Lazaro

And so it turned out that my last foodie discovery of 2019 was Hawker Chan. I know this isn't something new for some of you, folks, but it was my first visit to this Michelin-starred restaurant franchise from Singapore last Dec. 31, after making last-minute purchases before preparing our Media Noche. I'm not a fan of queues, y'know, so I waited for the hype to simmer down and the SM City San Lazaro branch to open (just last week, I think) as it is close to home. I was with my daughter, who had dined at Hawker Chan-MOA together with her boyfie just a day earlier. She didn't mind being back too soon, saying she wanted to try other offers on the menu.

Our orders:

Wonton Noodle Soup 

Soya Sauce Chicken Noodle

Fried Dumplings

My Wonton Noodle Soup was a bit of a letdown because the broth and noodles were bland for my taste. The wonton dumplings were flavorful, thankfully, and there was a lot too (six pieces!). The serving size was big, and I wasn't able to finish everything.

The Soya Sauce Chicken Noodle was really good, on the other hand. The meat was bursting with flavors and tender as well. I also liked the fried dumplings although 
I dissed their chili sauce which wasn't hot at all!

Overall, it was an enjoyable first visit to Hawker Chan. I could say the food 
was generally good at amazingly low prices and the store was clean, 
well-lighted and spacious. I'll be back soon, this, I know for sure.
