Hawkers Asian Street Fare
The secret is out. Since 2011 Orlando foodies and the urban hip have enjoyed a unique, savvy and delectable small plate restaurant that serves delicious Asian-inspired cuisine at Hawkers Asian Street Fare. The word is spreading, mostly through social media and excellent reviews, and the culturally affluent are flocking to Hawkers, located in downtown Orlando’s Mills District to enjoy the tastes of Malaysia, Thailand, China and Hong Kong. Menu items are prepared using ancient family recipes and served in a lively and modern setting that provides outdoor seating and a full bar.
According to Kaleb Harrell, one of Hawkers four original founders, the restaurant’s name and concept came from Southeast Asia. “Street food is considered the best food in Asia and the dining experience is very communal, with friends visiting several food ‘hawker’ stalls and then sharing their meal at a central seating area.”
The success of the original Hawkers has spurred a new casual catering concept where devotees can serve their favorite dishes at home, in the office or for special events. The all new Hawkers website, www.eathawkers.com, has all the catering details along with the full restaurant and bar menu. In addition, the company opened a second location last year in Jacksonville’s urban Five Points area and they have two more locations planned for 2015 in St. Petersburg and Jacksonville Beach.
