For Filipinos traveling to or living in Singapore, a familiar and beloved taste of home has just arrived in Singapore. Shawarma Shack, the Philippines’ fastest-growing shawarma chain, has opened its first international outlet, marking a significant milestone for the brand and a source of pride for the Filipino community abroad.
Known as a staple take-and-go meal across the Philippines, Shawarma Shack’s journey from a humble night market stall to an international name is a testament to its delicious and value-for-money concept. Its first overseas branch, located in Toa Payoh, HDB Hub, offers a welcome culinary destination for anyone missing the familiar taste of Filipino-style shawarma.
Visitors can now enjoy the same hearty meals they love back home, including the signature Wraps, Rice Meals, and Salad Boxes, complemented by popular sides such as Sloppy Fries and Original Shawarma Nachos. The brand is also introducing local favorites like its Classic Broasted Chicken Rice, ensuring there is a taste of home for every palate.
This expansion is more than just a business venture; it is a cultural bridge. As founder and CEO Walther Buenavista noted, the company hopes Singaporeans will love their food, but for Filipinos, it represents a piece of home conveniently found on foreign soil. The affordable menu, with shawarma wraps starting from S$5.90, also makes it a perfect, budget-friendly stop for travelers exploring the city.
With a second outlet already planned for October, Shawarma Shack’s journey is set to continue, making Singapore a new hub for Filipino flavor and a beacon of national entrepreneurial success.
