Here to stay.

Since the closure of Hambaobao's hawker stall in Nov. 2019, fans could only sink their teeth into their burgers either via event live stations or pop-ups.

On Sep. 19, Hambaobao announced on their social media pages that it would be reopening at a permanent location at the TRIO building.

They have opened as of Sep. 20.

They also have cakes and bakes, such as Mama G's Sugee (S$4.50) and Not Cream Pie (S$5), to complete your meal.

(Not Cream Pie is in fact key lime pie, if you were wondering.)
