Cuisines of Thailand, Korea, China and Vietnam have long been popular in Metro Manila. Yet, rarely has there been one that showcases the best from Singapore.

Tiong Bahru Restaurant offers the finest dishes from the Lion City. The restaurant is named after a community in Singapore where several old and well-preserved buildings still stand.  Its most famous landmark is the Tiong Bahru Market which houses more than 50 hawker stalls. Foodies who visit the market often flock to a food stall called the Tiong Bahru Hainanese Boneless Chicken. Its famous chicken has won the Michelin Bib Gourmand Award for six consecutive years, from 2017 to 2023.

Today, Pinoy foodies can sample the award-winning boneless chicken at the Tiong Bahru Manila. Founded by Singaporean chefs Ko Kim Hock and Cheong Weng Wah, this restaurant offers the authentic hawker food that’s been so popular at the Tiong Bahru Market.

Signature dishes include Lemon Chicken and Mayonnaise Chicken, both priced at P295. The Hainanese Chicken and Roasted Chicken can be ordered whole or half. Smaller portions are also available for children.

Also on the menu is the Chicken Curry Quarter that’s available mild or hot. And there’s also the Roasted Chicken Congee and Curry Chicken Noodle — also available in mild, standard or super spicy.
