Junior Tan Hawker Kitchen

Best Known For

Hainanese poached chicken rice with ginger chilli sauce.

Junior Tan Hawker Kitchen, nestled on Mountain Highway in Bayswater, offers a vivid journey into the heart of Malaysian and Singaporean street food culture. The moment you arrive you sense the warmth - an open kitchen, clatter of woks, rich smells of spices and coconut and servers moving with practised ease. Dishes are generous and layered: thick, aromatic laksa; smoky char kway teow; satay skewers dripping with peanut sauce; roti that’s crisp at the edges yet tender inside. The décor is modern yet grounded - industrial touches, warm lighting, banquette seating and casual sharing tables. There’s an energy of community, with people leaning in over bowls, discussing flavours and what to try next. Every mouthful feels like an homage to tradition with the menu showing care for authenticity.
