Hawker Bar, you and me have a good thing going. If you're looking for twist on the standard pub fare, Hawker Bar is your place. HB serves up fresh, flavourful Malaysian food inside a warm, cozy-cool pub on Ossington. This is one of those pubs that you don't need to be drunk at to enjoy the food (i.e., the food is not nastoid and totes is yummy on its own).
My personal fave is the vegan laksa. The broth is so delicious, with strong flavours of lemongrass, spice, and coconut tickling your throat with each bite. The puffed tofu is super yummy and I absolutely LOVE the healthy does of veggies in the laksa. SUPER yum.
Also big ups on the brussel sprouts and the good beer selection. Service here could be better and more attentive but hey, it is a pub on Ossington afterall.
