Keng Eng Kee - We Are Here Again!

I have been always been a huge fan of anything made with salted egg and the addiction was brought to a whole new level when I had Salted Egg Crab the last time we were at Keng Eng Kee. I recently read a review that Keng Eng Kee serves one of the best salted egg crab in Singapore, so here we are again.
 
 
We are here mainly for this - Salted Egg (Fried) Crab 咸蛋（炸）螃蟹. There is more sauce this time round, but I definitely would not mind even more sauce. Creamy, salty and so damn delicious. The crab itself is very fresh and the meat is firm. I am curious how the steamed version would taste like. 
 
 
Chilli Crab 辣椒螃蟹 is an iconic Singapore dish. The sweet and spicy sauce packs a punch although I find it a little too spicy but who am I to judge when I can't really take spicy food? We wiped the plate clean with Mantou 馒头. Would you say this is the best chilli crab in Singapore?
 
 
Mantou 馒头 are not the bite-sized ones you get at most other restaurants. These are the giants you get at Chinese restaurants. They are better known as hua juan due to the twisted design. They may not look as delicate but they are much more fulfilling and friendly to the wallet-friendly because one of this is equivalent to three of the usual buns.
 
 
I was pleasantly surprised by Deep Fry Goby 顺壳. I have always associated fried fish with dry and leathery meat, but the meat is really tender underneath the crispy skin. The soy-based sauce and lard crouton adds to the deliciousness.
 
 
"Choy Hiang" Beancurd 菜香豆腐 is simple and reminds me of home. The beancurd is fried till crispy and then combined with hand-chopped minced pork.

 

 
Black Pepper Deer Meat 黑椒鹿肉 is not a commonly-found dish in Singapore. The deer meat tastes like chicken, but it is much more tender.

 

 
A visit to Keng Eng Kee is not complete without ordering Mingzhu Roll and Prawn Roll 明珠卷和虾枣. Mingzhu Roll is the signature dish that made this restaurant made famous. 

 

 
We ordered Cuttlefish with Kangkong 鱿鱼应菜 the last time we were here and we liked it so much we ordered it again this time.
 
No matter how many times you have been to Keng Eng Kee, the quality of food will always impress you. Salted Egg (Fried) Crab, Mingzhu Rolls and Cuttlefish with Kangkong are a few of the must-try dishes here.

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...
