The folks behind No-Signboard Seafood has come up with their first hawker-themed fast food outlet at Esplanade. Called "Hawker", the Asian fast-food concept is considered a novelty in Singapore.

Here are some interesting options that you can try a la carte or with a meal (meal sets come with regular-sized curly fries and drink):

Nasi Lemak Burger (S$9.50 a la carte, S$11.50 for meal): Chicken patty seasoned with spices and turmeric, sandwiched between coconut rice buns. Contains cucumber, fried egg, and sweet sambal chilli sauce.

Signature Chilli Crab Bao (S$9.50 a la carte, s$11.50 for meal): Deep fried crab meat patty, burger slaw, sweet and savoury chilli crab sauce contained within a deep fried mantou bun.

Judging from Instagram photos and one Facebook review, the Signature Crab Bao looks rather small, so it might not be very filling if you have a big appetite:

Aside from these, you can also find Szechuan Mala Burger (S$6.50 a la carte, S$8.50 for a meal), Satay Chicken Burger (S$6.50 a la carte, S$8.50 for a meal), and Prata Wrap (S$3 a la carte, S$4 for a meal).
