Dabao Singapore is a well-regarded establishment in San Francisco that brings authentic Singaporean hawker-style street food to the Bay Area. Founded by James Beard semifinalist Chef Emily Lim, Dabao started as a pandemic dream to share her cultural food heritage and provide opportunities. The name "Dabao" itself means "takeaway" in Singaporean slang, reflecting its initial focus on bringing these flavors directly to people's homes. This now brick-and-mortar location offers a menu featuring popular Singaporean dishes like Hainanese Chicken Rice (both poached and roasted), Laksa (seafood and vegan options), Char Kway Teow, and other specialties. Dabao Singapore still provides meal kits for pickup or delivery throughout the Bay Area, allowing customers to enjoy their authentic dishes at home with easy reheating instructions.
