★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1First off, this food hall was fully of some many exciting vendors. It was hard to choose a place to eat - they all looked amazing but Smokin’ Joe won me over with the aroma of curry.The fish cutlet and curry rice was fantastic - savory and dense in flavor yet light. Highly recommend.Cons: it’s a busy food hall so finding seating is a ten minute activity, and I wish this dish was $15 instead of $19. Most dishes in this food hall are around $18
March 09 · Natalie DeRosaAmazing food. I ordered the grilled fish curry and it was sooo good. Well seasoned and big portions. Only $18 for great food in the middle of the city. 10/10 !!!
March 21 · Jade BlagroveMy 4th visit to the Urban Hawker led me to this stall in which I've had my eye on the Hainanese Fish and Chips for some time so as an excuse to do a review of this place, this was the opportunity. I would go on my mini critique on how paying $20 for Fish and Chips is wild, well it does come with cole slaw but i don't care much for it so i completely ignored it...anyway like all of the other stalls I have visited here, the food definitely delivers in taste. Fries were nice and crispy, that semi crunchy texture that delights my taste buds and the fish, I'm not sure which one it is but it's a thick one and it is cooked and breaded so well, just melts in your mouth with the texture.I shouldn't complain about the prices here in the Hawker because the food hasn't missed as of yet and I wouldn't want it to because I want this food court to thrive. Another banger from the Urban Hawker, I recommend it.
June 11 · Sledge WilliamsWe ordered the Curry Fish Head @ $58++ , which can share by 2-4 person. The curry fish head is pretty authentic , the ingredients are fresh and there is decent portion of fish meat. Everything is good, except it is a bit salty. Maybe they could reduce the amount of salt, that will be perfect. Keep up the good work and please maintain the standard, and less salt please. ;)
April 01 · ChrisExcellent Singaporean restaurant inside Urban Hawker. I got the chicken cutlet curry rice and it was fantastic; highly recommend. I also tried the lychee drink, and while it was good, it was not carbonated and I really feel it would benefit from being so.
