Hawker Chan, CBD MELB

Made famous internationally after receiving a Michelin star, Hawker Chan expanded its wings from Singapore into Melbourne, home to many Malaysians/ Singaporeans who are more than familiar with it's chicken rice/noodles concept.

Queued for at least 20 minutes before being told that the roast pork had already been sold out and chicken is the only option available. Waited for another 15 minutes before we could place our orders and give our feet their much needed rest as we watched other eager customers patiently lining up, some smiling sheepishly at the thought of dining at an affordable Michelin starred restaurant.

Chicken rice was priced at $6.80, a decent price to pay but portion wise, it's not enough to fully satisfy oneself. I'd say I was about 70% full after having a plate of it. Meat is tender, well marinated and delicious but the standout for me was the sauce used to drench the every grain of rice. Extremely flavourful.

Had a plate of their dumplings which tasted decent but am dubious about the price of it.
