Hai Kah Lang Arrives in Singapore!

Get ready, food lovers! Malaysian seafood noodle superstar Hai Kah Lang is making waves as it prepares to unveil its first Singapore location at the bustling Funan mall this September.

A Culinary Journey Begins

This upcoming outlet marks Hai Kah Lang’s first-ever venture outside of Malaysia, a move confirmed by CapitaLand and celebrated by the restaurant on their social media channels. Founder Steven Tan shared that they are targeting a grand opening at the end of September.

Award-Winning Delights Await

Known for its remarkable culinary offerings, Hai Kah Lang first wowed diners in Kuala Lumpur’s Taman Cheras neighborhood, earning the prestigious Michelin Bib Gourmand award three years in a row from 2023 to 2025. This coveted recognition highlights eateries that deliver exceptional value without compromising on quality.

Expanding Horizons

The Singapore outlet follows an exciting expansion that saw Hai Kah Lang recently set up shop in Johor Bahru. Currently, the restaurant boasts eight successful branches across Malaysia since its debut in 2022. The introduction of the Funan mall location will mark the fourth new outlet opening in 2025 alone!

A Seafood Paradise Awaits

Prepare your appetites! Hai Kah Lang’s menu is a seafood lover’s dream, featuring must-try dishes such as prawn noodles, crab meat porridge, and unbeatable fish head noodles. Don’t forget to indulge in their tempting snacks like Teochew oyster omelettes and fried soft shell crab.

Confidence in Challenge

Despite challenges faced by Singapore's dynamic food scene in 2025—where several iconic venues have closed—Hai Kah Lang is confident their vibrant offerings will captivate the taste buds of the nation’s passionate food enthusiasts.

Cultural Roots Connect

Mr. Tan emphasized that the restaurant shares cultural ties with Singapore through its Teochew heritage. Just as the immigrant community shaped Teochew culinary traditions in Singapore, Hai Kah Lang hopes to embed itself into the local food culture.

Why Funan Mall?

The choice of Funan mall as their launch location was strategic, aiming to attract shoppers seeking a diverse lifestyle experience.

Dishes You Can’t Resist!

Foodies, take note! One standout dish to look forward to is the mixed seafood noodle/porridge, praised by Sethlui.com as a must-try. This delectable creation combines crab, clams, fish, squid, shrimp, and laver seaweed, all simmered in a rich fish bone broth enriched with aromatic Huadiao wine.

Umami Awaits!

In the words of Malaysian news outlet The Malay Mail, Hai Kah Lang’s fried prawn paste fish slices are true 'umami bombs,' and good luck snagging the last bite!
