Love Singapore’s hawker stalls? No need to book a flight to experience their authenticity.
Kaokee, a new culinary destination, opened its doors at Belamy House on Jupiter St. in Makati City, and at Corner House at P. Guevarra in San Juan City.
Kaokee brings the genuine taste of Singapore’s cherished culinary traditions to Manila by capturing the authentic flavors and vibrant atmosphere of city state’s-hawker centers.
Its menu features a generational Hainanese Chicken recipe, a culinary treasure passed down through generations of Kaokee’s partner chef.
The restaurant also offers iconic Singaporean dishes Roast Hokkien Chicken, which is another Kaokee specialty dish. It also has fragrant and smoky Claypot Rice, Singaporean “meat bone tea” or Bak Kut Teh, and the iconic spicy coconut noodle soup, Laksa.
Additionally, Kaokee serves a traditional breakfast of Kaya Toast paired with Singapore’s favorite pick-me-up – Kopi, available iced, hot, O, Butter, and Mocha.
Kaokee is from Mc Wilson Corp., the group behind Gringo, Tatatito, Honeybon, and Tokyo Bubble Tea. The inspiration came from Mc Wilson President and CEO Reagan Tan’s visits to Singapore in 2019 where he and his wife discovered a hidden gem—a humble hawker located at the 9th stall of a hawker center. There, they encountered a delicious Hainanese Chicken recipe that they couldn’t forget.
Determined to bring this unique experience to Manila, Tan teamed up with a Singaporean chef friend who owns the recipe and other Singaporean hawker chefs to offer a diverse menu.
