New Fall/Winter Menu at Hawkers Asian Street Fare
Just when I thought there wasn’t anything that could make me love Hawkers Asian Street Fare any more than I already do, they go and add new dishes to the menu to make me fall harder.
I got the opportunity to enjoy dinner with them and discover the latest and greatest offerings, and they did not disappoint. Scroll on for all the savory (and sweet!) goodness:
All of the newest menu items were delicious - in fact, if you’re sharing with a friend, I recommend ordering everything, as it was enough to feed pH and I both and leave us feeling satisfied. But if you’re picking and choosing, I’d personally recommend:
Shanghai Stir Fry: I am such a big fan of the chewy texture of rice cakes, and I’m so used to only being able to have them when we go out for seriously spicy Korean food, which limits me from stuffing my face like I’d want to. Hawkers’ Shanghai Stir Fry is the perfect solution: I get a savory dish that’s filled with rice cakes with zero heat backlash - but if you want to add some heat, my pro tip is to ask your server for a spice tray.
‘Dry Pot’ Caulilini: If caulilini doesn’t sound familiar to you, don’t worry - you’re not out of the loop. It’s a new-to-market veggie that has started trending this summer, essentially like if broccolini and cauliflower had a baby. It’s crispy/crunchy, and the way Hawkers seasons it makes it irresistible. I couldn’t stop going back for more!
Crispy Canton: This dish reminds me of home - every time my mom ever cooked a big family meal, crispy egg noodles were never left off the menu. The toppings and sauce are added when the dish hits your table, in order to preserve the crispiness of the noodles, but even if you have leftovers to take home, they’re still delicious the next day - you essentially create lo mein when you heat it back up!
Seoul Hot Chicken Steamed Baos: Oh, these were incredible. The texture of the steamed buns was perfection, and the hot chicken was super crispy and full of flavor. All together, this dish packs a punch, in the best way possible.
