I was so excited to try this place. I'm originally from Malaysia and I miss the food soooo much! Maybe I was going in with high expectation but...when I think Hawker Bar I think fast quick delicious home food. We ordered: Satay, Laksa, Hainanese Chicken, and their stingray. The satay was WAY WAY WAY too salty! Like hard to eat salty. The Laksa was good, not like what I'm use to but for Toronto it was good...a little too heavy. The chicken is something I could've EASILY made at home and it was quite dry. The stingray I have to give you was AMAZING but the portion was way too small....
The BIGGEST issue with me was the time it took to get 4 dishes out. I would say it took approx 1.5 hours to get everything out. They put the satay out first, approx 30 mins after we ordered. By this time me and my fam were STARVING so we finished the whole thing in 2-3 minutes then it took another 30-45 mins to get the rest of the food out. I'm guessing it's more of a bar than for food....
I don't think i'd go back...or if i did it would be to drink with snacks not to eat dinner...
