Few will ever figure out the calculus behind marrying stupendous with cheap, nevertheless Liao Fan Hawker Chan can lay legitimate claim to having done so. Helmed by Ipoh-born chef/owner Chan Hon Meng who formerly apprenticed at the now-defunct New Lam Thong Tea House, this Chinatown Complex Food Centre based stall opened in 2009 selling soya sauce themed oriental fare, of which most still remain priced under $4 today. A decade, 3 consecutive Michelin stars (2016-2018) and one Hersing Corp franchise partnership later, Hawker Chan has morphed into a full-blown culinary darling much adored by both locals as well as tourists.

...........What knocked our socks off:



Oily aromatic best described its Soya Sauce Chicken Noodle: tender, glistening poultry (braised with some 10-herb mix) emanating savoury notes that chimed wonderfully around al dente mee kia. Even better perhaps was the Roasted Pork Rice featuring formidably processed siu yuk (read: velvety fat belly meat capped by puffed, crackling epidermis) further salted to a tee - very juicy, damn crispy, too heavenly. Note though 'em accompanying sauteed soybeans tasted pretty ordinary insofar as we were concerned, ah drats small matter anyhow.
