Kawan Bowl represents the innovative evolution of Singapore's hawker culture, emerging as DanLao's halal-certified sister concept that brilliantly merges traditional Asian flavors with modern bowl dining trends. Founded to address the growing demand for halal options among Singapore's diverse Muslim community, this establishment has strategically positioned itself across multiple food courts and hawker centers, including locations at Jurong Point, Anchorvale Village, and Pasir Ris Mall. The brand's name "Kawan," meaning friend in Malay, reflects its mission to create inclusive dining experiences that bring communities together over exceptional food.
The restaurant's signature concept revolves around customizable scrambled egg rice bowls, featuring uniquely Southeast Asian toppings like ayam berempah, beef rendang, sambal prawns, and taliwang chicken cutlet. Diners can personalize their experience by choosing between silken eggs, telur dadar (traditional omelette), or crispy fried eggs, with each bowl starting from an affordable $5.90. Standout dishes include the highly praised Sambal Prawn bowl ($7.90) and the fragrant Taliwang Chicken Cutlet, both celebrated for their perfect balance of sweet and spicy flavors that complement the restaurant's signature fluffy scrambled eggs and savory sauce-doused rice.
Since obtaining full MUIS halal certification, Kawan Bowl has become a beacon of innovation within Singapore's halal dining scene, proving that traditional flavors can be successfully reimagined for modern tastes without losing their authentic essence. The establishment's success across multiple food court locations demonstrates the strong market demand for creative, affordable halal options that respect cultural food traditions while embracing contemporary dining trends. Kawan Bowl continues to expand its presence, solidifying its position as a pioneer in the new generation of halal hawker concepts that celebrate Singapore's multicultural culinary heritage.
I ordered no 3. Drumstick bowl. The food is good, especially the runny egg over the rice.
The major
I ordered the Drumstick bowl (No. 3). The food is good, especially the runny egg over the rice. The major letdown was the fried chicken; it was so dry, hence the 3.5 stars. If the fried chicken were juicy, I would not hesitate to give more than 5 stars.

The food was amazing! We tried the panggang and satay sauce. The panggang is our favourite! It was sweet and charred just right. The eggs tasted creamy and blended well with the rice.

The food here is outstanding—Rudy is a phenomenal cook. But more than that, Rudy literally SAVED my life. I began choking while eating, and he immediately performed the Heimlich maneuver and helped me breathe again. I’ll never forget his quick thinking and kindness. Incredible food, and an even more incredible person.

Food was impressive for the price. Would love it more if it had more egg and lesser rice.
Very gene
The food was impressive for the price. I would love it more if it had more egg and lesser rice.
They were very generous with the otah and chicken, but both were precooked and no longer warm. The egg was cooked on the spot, which helped warm up the rice and otah.
The otah was a tad spicy for me.
It's $6.80 for the otah bowl and $7.80 for the chicken bowl. I would definitely visit again!
