Ah Lock & Co

Ah Lock & Co began its journey as a hawker stall at Yishun Park Hawker Centre before expanding to the CBD, earning recognition as Singapore's premier destination for Hakka rice bowls. Founded by Lee Lock Teng, who drew inspiration from Singapore's hawker culture and the savoury delights of Hakka Yong Tau Foo, the restaurant has successfully bridged the gap between traditional comfort food and modern dining expectations.

Located at 7 Wallich Street in Guoco Tower at Tanjong Pagar Centre, Ah Lock & Co serves Japanese cuisine-inspired traditional Singaporean rice bowls that combine familiar local flavours with contemporary presentation. The menu centres on handmade Hakka tofu rice bowls, prepared without pork, lard, or preservatives, reflecting a commitment to quality ingredients and healthier cooking methods. This approach has resonated with office workers and residents in the Tanjong Pagar area seeking satisfying meals that don't compromise on taste or nutrition.

The restaurant has since evolved into ALC Rice Bowls X Munchi Pancakes, a revamped concept that brings together their signature Hakka rice bowls with freshly made min jiang kueh. This sister brand collaboration has expanded their offerings while maintaining the focus on hearty, affordable meals that built their reputation. Both delivery and takeaway options are available, and the restaurant offers vegetarian-friendly choices, making it accessible to diners with various dietary preferences seeking quality Singaporean comfort food in the heart of the CBD.
