Hayop Singapore — Full Menu, Prices & What to Order (Amoy Street Review)

Hayop is the Singapore spinoff of Manam, one of Manila’s most talked-about modern Filipino restaurants — and it’s built for family-style sharing, bold flavours, and a menu that runs from a $14 lumpia to a $76 whole spatchcock chicken inasal. It sits at the premium end of Filipino dining in Singapore, and this guide covers the full menu, what to order, and how its pricing actually compares to the rest of the city’s Filipino food scene.

What Makes Hayop Different

Hayop is the work of The Moment Group, the team behind Manam — a restaurant credited with helping redefine modern Filipino dining in Manila. Rather than a casual eatery serving Filipino comfort staples at hawker-adjacent prices, Hayop takes classic Pinoy dishes and reworks them with higher-end ingredients and technique: the signature Midnight Adobo swaps the usual pork or chicken for grass-fed New Zealand wagyu bone-in short rib, and the halo-halo is built with leche flan, ube halaya and house-made ube sorbetes rather than the simplified versions common elsewhere. It opened on Amoy Street and has been positioned from day one as an elevated, sit-down, order-to-share experience rather than a quick meal.

Is Hayop Expensive? How It Compares to Other Filipino Restaurants in Singapore

Filipino food in Singapore spans a wide range, and Hayop sits clearly at the top of it:

That’s roughly double what a casual Filipino eatery charges for a comparable dish like sisig — but the comparison isn’t really apples-to-apples. Hayop isn’t competing with Kabayan or Iskina Cebu on being a quick, affordable meal; it’s positioned closer to a modern dining destination, using premium ingredients (grass-fed wagyu, whole spatchcock chicken) that casual Filipino spots don’t stock. If you want authentic Filipino comfort food at everyday prices, the budget and casual tiers above serve that better. If you want Filipino flavours reworked with fine-dining technique for a special occasion, Hayop is built for exactly that.

What to Order

The Midnight Adobo ($52) is the dish every review points to first — grass-fed New Zealand wagyu bone-in short rib braised in a classic adobo base, praised for coming out tender with a gravy worth mopping up with rice. It’s the closest thing the menu has to a signature dish.

Wagyu & Watermelon Sinigang ($56) is the other headline main — sinigang is traditionally a sour tamarind-broth soup, and the charred watermelon here is credited with cutting through the broth’s acidity in a way that stood out to reviewers as the standout dish of the meal.

For starters, Manam’s Crispy Palabok ($26) and the Sisig ($22) both get consistent praise; the Lumpia ($14) is good but reviewers note it can lose its crispness if it sits before reaching the table, so it’s worth requesting it comes out promptly. To close, the Halo-halo ($18) — built with leche flan, ube halaya and ube sorbetes — is repeatedly called out as one of the best versions of the dessert available in Singapore.

On cocktails, opinions split: the coconut-forward Malinamnam is pleasant but forgettable to some reviewers, while the bourbon-based Pait leans more bitter than most casual drinkers expect — worth asking your server which of the six flavours suits your palate before committing.
