  • Chicken rice eatery Liao Fan opens in Malaysia

    Chicken rice eatery Liao Fan opens in Malaysia

    Michelin-starred chicken rice restaurant Liao Fan has opened its first Malaysia outlet. Located in Ipoh, Chan Hon Meng’s birthplace, the outlet attracted a big crowd and all the food sold out on the soft-opening day last week.

    Singapore’s street food hawker Chan Hon Meng made headlines in 2016 when his soy-sauce chicken rice dish received a Michelin star. The Liao Fan Hawker Chan stall became one of the first street-food stands in the world to receive the award and also the cheapest Michelin-star meal in the world.

    The Liao Fan Hawker Chan Malaysia is non-halal as the restaurant also sells pork dishes.

  • Singapore soya-sauce chicken chain for Taipei

    Singapore’s soya-sauce chicken hawker outlet is heading overseas with Taipei as its first stop.

    The Michelin star restaurant’s Taiwanese debut will be at Hoyii North Station in the first half of this year.

    Owner Chan Hon Meng says he is excited to share Singapore’s food culture with the rest of the world, and hopes this will encourage more young people to join the hawker profession.

    Like Hawker Chan, which opened in Smith Street in November, the Taipei outlet will be a quick-service restaurant.

    Chan’s signature soya-sauce chicken dish earned a one-star rating in the inaugural Singapore Michelin Guide last July. His hawker stall at Chinatown Food Complex is touted as the cheapest Michelin-starred food establishment in the world, with its award-winning noodles selling at only S$2.50 (US$1.76).

    If the Taipei branch succeeds, Chan hopes to next expand into Malaysia.
