Hi All: This review of hawkers certainly drew quite a number of strong comments. I checked their review on dinehere and found also very varied opinions http://www.dinehere.ca/restaurant.asp?r=39. Anyway, I want to reiterate that we absolutely love the food in Hawkers. Yummy!! :-)

Hawker’s ISN’T a Malaysian Restaurant, but if you had spoken to the owners and gotten to know more about who and what their food represent, you might have known that.

It’s a SINGAPOREAN owned restaurant, featuring SOME Malaysian foods which by the way, DO influence some of the foods served in Singapore.

And the prawn noodles AREN’T Malaysian style (as you said they were…”just like in malaysia”)- they’re Singaporean style. Malaysian prawn noodles usually has a thicker, brown broth.

Hot, stuffy, self-serve, cheap food, is as traditional as SIngaporean/Malaysian foods get. Kudos to Hawkers and good luck on your other reviews.

Thanks gq for the helpful link. Unfortunately, I catch germs too easily.
Chowtimes is a wonderful place to feast one’s imagination. Keep up the good work, Suanne and Ben. :)

I quite enjoy reading your blog from time to time. I really like Hawker’s Delight - great Malaysian food at an inexpensive price. I just wanted to mention that you can actually look up restaurant inspection information in Vancouver if you are concerned about cleanliness. It is located here: http://www.foodinspectionweb.vcha.ca/Nav-Main.htm

Hawker’s Delight passed fine which is good to know.

I visited chowtimes and saw that hate mail you received from Anonymous. Commenting offensively and hiding from it is just a coward thing to do! It was very offensive alright…but you shouldn’t worry about it coz you know yourself better than he does and you are just NOT like what he thinks you are(not even close). He doesn’t have any idea at all! He needs a knock on his head while you deserves a pat on the back. I know a lot of chowtimers felt the same way too. Cheer up and forget it! :-)

Dives, hole in the walls and no-frills eateries are fun places to go to for cheap, simple but good food. Those places may be no-frills and short on table service or ambiance but that should not be confused with cleanliness. In Boston there is a food court that fits that description. There are five different eateries that share a dining room. The first few years it was open was like a revelation. There was such variety in the different eateries there and you could order something new almost every time you went there.

Sadly, the years have not been too kind to the place. No-frills has given way to shabby and not so clean…

Ben,

I wouldn’t spend any more worries on anonymous. It’s the Internet and unfortunately we all can’t expect everyone to agree or behave in a civilized fashion. Keep up the great work. We appreciate all that you and Suanne have done to educate us about Vancouver eats, Malaysian food, your wonderful father, etc.

Hi “Anonymous”: Whoa!! I think I gotta say that I feel sorry that this post had somewhat offended you. Name calling and posting anonymously is somewhat childish, don’t you think? I mean, you have not given me the chance to know me as a person and passing judgment right off the bat. I thought of junking the comment but then I thought I do the right thing and publish your comments. Am pretty upset but I’ll let it go. Oh well … *shrug* :-)
