Located at the 2nd level of SM Megamall bridgeway, My Singapore Street Food welcomes its guests. |
With the
cornucopia of Singaporean food culture, business entrepreneur Jean Henri
Lhuillier and Asian TV personality/celebrity chef Vivien Tan recently opened My
Singapore Food Street at the 2nd level, Bridgeway of SM Megamall.
One could relish Singapore and discover its culture without having to leave the
country. Be prepared to delight in
gastronomical experience with an array of signature meals like the Hainanese
Chicken and Laksa, appetizers such as Five Spiced Tofu, rice meals like Black
Pepper Rice, Nasi Goreng, stir fry dishes like Char Kway Teow and Singaporean
favorite Kaya Toast—everything prepared the Singaporean way.

“I
shuttle back and forth between Manila and Singapore, two cities I’d like to
call home—I figured that the next best thing to do is to open our own
restaurant that sells Singaporean fare, with such, there’s no need for me to
miss Singaporean dishes anymore,” says Vivien Tan, part owner of My Singaporean
Street Food, fashion model, TV host and restaurateur.

Reminiscent
of the popular Singapore’s hawker center, My Singapore Street food
distinguishes itself from the regular Asian food kiosks that seem to be
sprouting like mushrooms in the Metro nowadays. My Singapore Street food comes
with a fresh and sleek setting. I loved
their interactive service where instead of just a menu board; friendly staff
clad in colorful Asian-inspired prints eagerly explains the dishes. Plus, one
can even take a look at how the dishes are being made and prepared with the
restaurant’s transparent glass kitchen.

Glass kitchen makes dining even more exciting! |
I am a
big fan of Asian food, I love the heat and spices and I could happily eat Laksa
noodles or anything with sambal sauce every single day and not getting tired
eating them. And although I also welcome fusion-inspired dishes, there’s
nothing like eating authentic Asian fare at very reasonable prices.

Char Kway Teow |
As I
browsed over their menu, I’ve noticed the restaurant indeed has a variety of
Asian dishes: from Char Kway Teow (Stir fried flat yellow mee noodles, beans
sprouts (togue), garlic, red onions, egg, Chinese sausage, fish cake, shrimp
and dark soy sauce with Thai fish sauce.) at P195, HokkienMee (Stir fried
yellow mee “luglug” noodles, garlic, carrots, red onions, egg, shrimp, squid,
fish cake, white pepper and Thai fish sauce.), Spicy MeeGoreng (noodles,
garlic, onions, egg, shrimp, tomato sauce, sambal chili and dark soy sauce),
NasiGoreng (Sticky rice with egg and sambal chili sauce), Pork and Chicken
satay, Black Pepper Beef and Chicken, Lemon Fish and Chicken, all the way down
to appetizers: vegetable samosa, croquettes, shanghai roll, spring roll, prata,
phpla and kaya toast (toasted sliced white bread with butter coconut jam, best
with coffee or milk tea).

During
the grand launch and blessing, I also had the chance to witness the art of tea
and kopi tarik (yes, they could do it in front of you upon order)
demonstration. And best of all, I’ve
tasted their Milo Dinosaur drink, a great way to cap your meal as it satisfies your
sweet tooth.
