The atmosphere captures the typical image of relaxing Southeast Asian decor while maintaining the class one would expect from IC. Menu has a wide selection for both food and drinks, including specialty non-alcoholic beverages. The set menu for 4 was of incredible value and plenty even for 5 people. The key items like bak kut teh, Hainanese chicken, and salted egg sauce all did not disappoint.

Love the deco and colonial atmosphere, good and friendly service! We ordered satay, laksa, chicken rice and chili prawns (as chili crab you need to pre-order) … food wise I gave 4 star for their effort but flavor wise, still have room to improve to be authentic south East Asian.

Apologies I didn’t make a reservation. When I arrived, was told restaurant is fully booked not possible to get a seat. Spoke to another person that it’s just me and I’ll finish fast. Told me to wait. Waited for almost 45 min and led to a table. To my shock, there were 5 empty tables and more. During my entire time there, the tables were not occupied. Was later told that if I gave a 5 star review, my Milo Dinosaur is free…..is that how you get such great reviews??? Honestly, food good but appetizer came after main. Said they were busy, really?? Atmosphere and food was the only good thing…..but think they use the wrong dark soy sauce for the carrot cake. It’s so salty instead of sweet? operation need attention!

Fantastic dinner here. This was our second time here. Food is delicious. We had a party of five tonight so got to order many dishes and shared it. I love the ice cendol for dessert. Service is amazing. Errol was attentive and provided excellent service for us.

Expensive meal for bland hawker style food. The same kind of food that I got in Singapore was 20 times cheaper and taste much better. I could have flown to Singapore, buy the same kind of meal at a hawker stall and still have change left over.

My dining experience in Hawker is quite a let down. It strikes me as a restaurant that focuses more on the appearance but forgets the most important part of running a restaurant: the taste. The decor, the table setting, the super friendly hostess are all beautifully 'designed', but the food is unfortunately bland and lacking.
The service staff was courteous but not attentive. We had to pay for water, but they never managed to refill our glasses throughout the course of our meal. (They did refill other tables though)
I think it all comes down to who Hawker considers as its target audience. Its decor and presentation may appeal to tourists and business travelers, but for the locals, it'll need to step up a bit to invite for a second visit.
*Disclaimer: The hostess offered us free milo chocolate drinks in exchange for 5-star reviews. We of course didn't take it, out of the belief that any self-respected restaurant would not buy reviews this way if they were confident about their food and service.

Authentic Singaporean food with true flavors, this place is a gem! Ambiance is warm and welcoming, perfect setting to unplug and enjoy great food with happy and genuine service. Strongly recommended, Hawker is little Singapore in Kaohsiung!
