Keng Eng Kee Seafood - Delicious Salted Egg Crab

 To celebrate our colleague, Wendy's birthday, our two doctors brought us to have dinner at Keng Eng Kee, a famous zi char place in Bukit Merah. It is so successful that it took over the entire coffeeshop and there is air-conditioned sitting too (reservation needed).

 
We ordered many of their signature dishes. 
 

 

"Choy Hiang" Tofu is deep-fried homemade tofu topped with stir-fried minced meat. It is simple yet so delicious. Just give me two plates of this dish and a bowl of steaming rice and I will be as happy as a lark.

 

 

Coffee Pork Ribs is a little too sweet for me, but pairing pork ribs with coffee is an interesting idea.
 
 
Ever since I had salted egg crab in JB many years ago, I cannot forget how great it tasted. I have been on the hunt for good salted egg crab ever since. The sauce in this Salted Egg (Fried) Crab is very thick and delicious, but I do wish there were more sauce so that I can eat it with fried buns. The meat is firm but a little overcooked. Perhaps the steamed version might have been a better option. 

 

 
KangKong with Cuttlefish is a favourite among all my colleagues but I don't really like it that much because it is a little spicy for me. The cuttlefish is well-cooked and tender.

 

 
Marmite Chicken is delicious but not overly sweet. It is a favourite among all of us, including me.

 

 
MingZhu Roll is apparently the dish that brought Keng Eng Kee to fame. Salted egg yolk, mushroom, prawn, ham and parsley are wrapped in beancurd skin and deep fried. It is innovative but I find it a little dry.

 

 

I really like the Prawn Rolls. They taste like ngoh hiang but lighter in texture.
 
 
Roasted Chicken is not dry at all, even the breast meat is soft and tender.

 

 

HorFun with Egg Gravy is nicely done. The egg gravy is flavourful and the horfun is soft and silky.

 

I wouldn't say this is the best zi char place in Singapore, but the quality is far better than what you would expect with such cheap prices. It is definitely a place worth checking out.

PAUL

PAUL is a renowned family French bakery and patisserie founded in 1889. Bringing with them them the fine tradition of passion for food and French traditions, PAUL gives Singaporeans a glimpse into French culture and tradition through the delicious and visually-appealing pastries and food.       PAUL's Hot Chocolate is not as creamy as I would have liked it but every last drop is made with good-quality cocoa powder.     Lemon Tart With Meringue is not exactly my favourite dessert, but it looked so pretty that I decided to give it a try anyway. However, it proved to be too sour for my palette even with the beautifully flamed meringue.    Croque Madame is croque-monsieur (grilled ham and cheese sandwich) topped with a fried egg. Emmental cheese, cream and ham is sandwich in pain de eie and toasted till a rich golden brown colour. Topped with a fried egg with runny yolk, every bite is filled with delicious goodness.   Address and telephone n...

O'ma Spoon

                        Korean bingsu is a popular Korean dessert comprising of ice shavings and various ingredients such as sweetened condensed milk, fruit syrups, fresh fruits, Korean rice cake and ice-cream. Bingsu is all the craze in Singapore now and Korean bingsu cafes are popping up everywhere like wild mushrooms.                            Besides bingsu, this dessert cafe also serves usual cafe offerings such as coffee and tea. I have been told that their Signature Oven-Baked Honey Bread is very good. The flavours include Strawberry & Chocolate with Ice Cream, Banana & Chocolate with Ice Cream and Green Tea with Ice Cream.     I was told that   Mango Cheesecake Bingsu   is one of the most popular item on the menu. Oh my, it is a sight to behold! A bowl of shaved ice is topped with sweetened condensed milk and freshly-cut m...

Grandma's - Authentic Singapore Food

Grandma's has been around for quite a while now but I only got the chance to try their food recently when the third outlet opened in Suntec City.        I remember having these prawn crackers when I was little. They are so easy and good to eat, I can finish a whole package of this in one sitting.     I don't usually order Malay food, but the Nasi Bukhari looked so good in the menu, I thought I will give it a try. Fragrant yellow turmeric rice is served with golden brown chicken leg which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Prawns were fresh and succulent but I don't really like the sauce the prawns are cooked in. What really amazes me about this dish is the beef rendang.          I never knew Bo Bo Cha Cha is so such a delightful dessert until I tried it here at Grandma's. The warm and thick coconut tastes so good with chunks of sweet potato and yam. This is definitely comfort food that warms the heart.   Gr...
