A Chicken Stand From the Food Hall Anthony Bourdain Helped Start Is Expanding
A Hainan chicken spot inside Manhattan’s Urban Hawker Food Hall, Hainan Jones, is adding a second location in the Dekalb Market in Brooklyn. After years in the works, Urban Hawker opened in 2022 highlighting Singaporean street food, from K.F. Seetoh, a travel writer and Anthony Bourdain pal (Bourdain was involved with the early stages of its development before his death.) The Hainan Jones food stall is often cited as one of Urban Hawker’s must-tries. Raymond Kiang, whose father had a hand in the creation of one of Singapore’s most famous dishes, consulted on the first stall. Kiang has since opened his own spot: Lou Yau Kee, near Union Square.
