Hawker Stall Experts have recently been gathered at this new opening HAWKER SQUARE at Ikano Power Centre. Four concept stalls are Yong Tau Foo, You Tiao franchise- I Love Yoo, Portuguese Grill Seafood, and Geylang Fried Kway Teow.

I Love Yoo stall demonstrates the 400 years of traditional chinese snack and culinary craft since the Song Dynasty. How did it all begin? It all started with a murder conspiracy. Jealous of the dynasty's most loyal and devoted general, Vue Fei, Grand Councilor Qin Kuai and his wife plotted, schemed and murdered the General at Fengboting. This injustice attracted a massive public outcry. At that time there was a food vendor that sold fried foodstuff. Hearing about the wrongful death of the General, the food vendor, in his rage, immediately sculpted miniatures of two people – one to represent the Grand Councilor, and the other to represent his wife – from dough. Twisting them together with their backs facing each other, he then threw the dough into a wok filled with hot oil and shouted: 'Come see Kuai being deep-fried! Come see Kuai being deep-fried!' When passers-by heard about Kuai being deep-fried, they crowded around his stall and knew who those two figures represented. As they ate, they continued with the chanting and called out to others: 'Come see this! Fried Kuai!' The 'yoo tao' may come from origins such as this, but this delicious Chinese snack has lived on through the ages and can now be found everywhere in the world. There is a saying that goes: 'Wherever the Chinese are, there you'd find "yoo tiao'". Not a bad choice for a RM1.40 snack with 400 years culture background.
Portuguese Grill Seafood have 2 choices of sauce to suit your taste- TOM YAM SAUCE & ORIGINAL SAUCE. Each of these sauces takes at least 12 hours to blend and simmer. Just a mishandling of the heat will spoil the whole sauce during its preparation. Not to mention these recipe of herbs and spices are passed down for generations. Don't believe…... Try it and challenge me!!!
Geylang Fried Kway Teow….. Chefs gained their experience while working years at Singapore Geylang Hawker Stalls. This Geylang Kway Teow has a solid seafood taste which no other Char Kway Teow can match. Pricing at RM5.90. The 2nd signature item is Oyster Omelette@RM6.90. Again, originated from Singapore, mouth-watering omelette and the freshness of oyster embracing by the crunchy base. Dipping the Oyster Omelette in the chilli sauce, 'yummy' is the answer.
Want to quench your thirst, Freshly made Soya Drink@RM2.90 from I Love Yoo might be the choice. Richness of Canadian Soya Bean, moisturing the taste-bud, so silky and smooth…... How about a Lime and Sour Plum Juice@ RM3.50? Sure, this will crumble your body and tingle your toes with zesty sour.
