MANILA, Philippines – This September, you won’t have to take a trip abroad to try authentic Singaporean hawker fare – a brand new food market with 12 street food stalls from all over Asia is opening up at SM Megamall.
Makansutra Hawkers will be brought over by Singapore’s Makansutra Pte Ltd, founded by the “Guru of Grub” KF Seetoh, the same company that brought the World Street Food Congress (WSFC) to Manila in April.
The food market will have 12 stalls in total, selling 60 dishes (including some halal dishes) from Singapore, Hong Kong, Malacca in Malaysia, and more.
All the stalls are from different countries abroad, Filipino cooks will assist the hawker chefs. These Filipino cooks were hired from halfway houses and charity homes.
