My Experience:
As part of my mission to dine at every restaurant Ossington has to offer, Hawker Bar has been high on my hit list.
A Singapore-Fusion style restaurant, the initial reaction upon entering was the small size of the venue. Great for a date, but definitely hard to get a table for a group. Good thing we went on a weeknight, as weekends have been traditionally packed (trust me, I've tried).
We were greeted by friendly waitstaff, who explained in depth both the menu and the specials. The best part of Hawker Bar is their Vegetarian and Gluten Free Options, which are very clearly outlined and described in the menu.
We went with Prawn Ginger Dumplings and Lamp Potstickers, which were delicious, but not entirely inspired, being of asian descent and often eating dumplings and potstickers. They tasted great (with about four per order), but didn't seem to be worth the value.
The Son in Law Eggs (for which they are known for) was delicious. A great asian spin on deviled eggs, and the highlight of the meal. We also had the Chili Soy Chicken Wings, which was a bit on the small side, but packed great flavour. The Laksa was also delicious, with the noodle-broth combination being the real hero of the dish.
Overall, delicious food, but it comes at a delicious price.
