Reviews Don't Match Experience
Never listen to Youtube reviewers. They are paid shills. This place got very good reviews that did not line up with our experience. It used to be a food center stall, and it's very much like that now, only bigger. Extremely casual. We had a reservation, and they tried to seat us right behind the little podium where customers arrive. We complained and got a table by the road. The chili crab was a huge disappointment. It's a bunch of parts from different crabs, boiled in chili sauce until tender and more or less reassembled to look like one crab. The sauce is like Spagetti-O's with hot sauce added. It's very thick and sweet. Most of the meat is tiny bits swimming in the sauce. We paid 95 SGD for this dish, so around $74 US. That's a lot of money for a little bit of crab meat swimming in something like spicy ketchup. The coffee pork ribs appeared to be bits of pork fried in breading, covered with an extremely sweet coffee sauce. Not very good. There may be some good things on the menu, but if the signature dish is bad, why would I go back and keep trying things?

Great food. Crab was really good but a bit overpriced at $96 SGD a kilo. The other dishes we ordered were all reasonably priced and tasted delicious. Overall a great experience I would recommend to others!

The good here is simply delicious. For most tourist, Jumbo is the place to go for crab. But KEK is amazing. With to give it a try.
Be the first to ReplyThe worst seafood restaurant in SG
My first time dining there a few years ago was a disappointment. Decided to give them a chance again and did a take away. Still a disappointment. Requested for no pork no lard in my dishes. Reminded them many times, did a check during collection. And still, came home to dishes with lard... speechless. Taste was horrible too. Hawker stall food taste way better and cheaper.

Fabulous food. Chili and pepper crab was great and much better than Jumbo. Coffee ribs were fantastic too. Would highly recommend
Be the first to ReplyBetter then Jumbo Seafood restaurant!
Our favorite place for local seafood dinners to bring friends and family. Strongly strongly advised to make reservations ahead of time. Once Netflix put this place on the map the restaurant has gone super crazy. Great service when it’s not too crazy busy. This is 95% outside dinning only 4 tables are inside. Get the black pepper crab, chili crab, cereal shrimp with no shell, salted egg shrimp with no shell (because some people like to keep the shell on lah), midnight harfun( flat rice noodles), coffee ribs, and anything your heart desires. They have different size portions (excluding the crab) for each dish. And drink local beer!

Hor fun was bland, cereal shrimp wasn’t fresh and the coffee ribs were just awful. Not a “rib” in sight and the “pork” tasted like some kind of old chicken or artificial meat. My family and I used to come here for many years but now we will go and spend our money elsewhere. Incredibly disappointed, what a shame their standards have dropped so much. 🤢
Be the first to ReplyChilli crab!
I saw this on the Netflix program Street Food Asia so decided, absent any local knowledge, that this would be my destination for the chilli crab I was determined to eat once during my short stay in Singapore. While it was a bit more expensive than I was expecting (about $sg95 for the crab), it did not disappoint. I was presented with a huge mud crab broken into pieces and swimming in a sweet/sour/mildly spicy sauce and a nutcracker. My partner doesn’t eat seafood so it was up to me. It took about an hour and some mess was made. I didn’t notice the plastic gloves in a little packet until it was too late but I’m not sure they’d have stood up to the task anyway. A bottle of Tiger helped to wash it down. Local opinion differs on the best chilli crab in town apparently but I can recommend KEK.
Be the first to ReplyNot Good at All
Dreadful. Another example of a worthless, evening-ruining Anthony Bourdain recommendation. The man was an idiot who could not be trusted. I seriously believe restaurants paid him. The restaurant is like a hawker stall on a large scale, because it started as a stall. Cheap tables and chairs, and only one small room with AC. That would be fine if the food were good. The lady who greets guests is very rushed. Tried to give us a terrible table behind her stand, but we asked for a better one. There were empty tables, so the chatter about needing reservations is probably hype intended to motivate potential customers. Exaggerating traffic appears to be a standard tactic in Singapore. Our table had one leg about an inch shorter than the rest. The waitress, who was very nice, jammed something under it. The prawn rolls tasted like the ingredients were old, and they were bland due to a lack of seasoning. The breading appeared to have been applied in a factory, and it was limp. I think the rolls were bought frozen. The shrimp paste chicken wings had nearly no flavor. They tasted like old frying oil. Not good at all. The coffee pork ribs were okay, but I think they sat around after the sauce was applied to a big batch, because the breading was a little soggy. The chili crab cost $95 for 1 kg. That appears to include half a kilo of sauce. No exaggeration. It looks like they boil lots of crabs in sauce until they fall apart, and then they give you enough unrelated parts to look like one crab. Ours had three claws, and the shell was empty. The sauce was awful. Like Spaghetti-O's sauce with Tabasco and a lot of sugar. Most of the meat was tiny slivers buried in sauce. The claws were cracked poorly, so they were hard to get into. This dish is worthless. I wouldn't eat it again if it was free. Maybe there are some good dishes at KEK. I would avoid the crab at all costs. Bottom line: reviews are corrupt and can't be trusted, and that goes double for Anthony Bourdain reviews. The man was a disgrace, like many TV chefs.

If you stay in the neighborhood, why not. But in a city so full of fantastic food, I could not see why this place has great reviews. Don’t get me wrong, the food was good. But far away, not in any way particularly special. I had coffee ribs (4/5), crab (3/5) and the midnight horfun (2/5). Sorry.
Be the first to ReplyDisappointing food via delivery
We have eaten at the restaurant for several times and food used to be food. Lately we ordered food delivery via Grab and it was a disaster. They used used low quality broken rice for fried rice & it was without whole grains of rice The moonlight horfun was oily & soggy. Considering that we are just in the neighbourhood, it shouldn’t be due to long delivery time. Would not recommend ordering delivery from this restaurant. Now I am even thinking twice whether I should go there for dining.

A month ago today, Sunday 23.10.22, Jack and I had dinner with our family in Singapore at Keng Eng Kee seafood restaurant 💛 and it was great to see my siblings, brothers David and Peter, sister Teresa, brother in-law Anthony and nephews with their spouses and grandnieces 🥰 A lovely and memorable occasion 💛 Food came very fast and every dish was delicious 😋 Price is also reasonable. We had opted for the aircond room. You’ll have to book in advance as this place is very popular with the locals here but very worth it to try. Highly recommended!

Awesome - we were taken here by family and were looking for a relaxed informal meal with great good…. We got it! Will definitely be going back
Be the first to ReplyExcellent service and food
Staff are courteous and helpful. Saw quite a number of caucasians having their beer and food here. For a coffee shop to be able to attract caucasians to like their food must have some culinary standard. My daughter like their marmite chicken while I like d their fried sliced snakefish with onion and ginger. The tofu minced meat colorful and appetising. Their vegetables were also very well cooked. The chef knows the art of culinary presentation with the right blending of colors and food.

Excellent and great selection of food. So good went back to it a second time during a short visit. Lots of choice on the menu and everything we tried was great. The fish skins were amazing!

The food was really good although I would prefer it to be a bit less salty. The restaurant has a greatly lit and cozy atmosphere in their garden. Would definitely go again. Highly recommend.
Be the first to ReplyReliable place for fresh crab
Chili crab was fresh. Get the freshly made mantou as well. The claypot tofu and coffee ribs are a must try too. Book the earliest slot possible as parking is challenging after 6pm.
Be the first to ReplyGood meal for the family
Craving for some pork chops with coffee, KEK is perhaps the most delicious dish. Bite size pork coated with a special sweet coffee tasting sauce. It was juicy and has a wonderful coffee flavour. Their Spinach with crispy ikan bilis tasted great. Their Choy Hiang tofu was also great. We had a sharing platter which I find it little let down because I have tasted better ones! Their black pepper crab was tasty albeit the sauce was more runny then dry. Service was quick and friendly. For beverages we had their homemade barley water and fresh calamansi juice. Pricing was reasonable.
Be the first to ReplyGreat Tzi char restaurant.
Great Tzi char restaurant. From their coffee pork ribs, poached spinach with 3 eggs, roast chicken, appetiser sampler and dried horfun were good tasting. Still many dishes yet to try from their Chili crabs, to tofu and deer meat. Environment is in an old industrial estate in Redhill. Not a great environment but sitting is outdoors, although they have a few tables with air conditioning. Other known food such as Soon Quah is in the neighbourhood. Price is reasonable and mid range.

Be the first to ReplyCheck 0ut for Authentic Chinese Food
My friend took me & another friend visiting Kee seafood restaurant for Saturday dinner. It was our 1st visit as they have craving for crab.
The restaurant was packed when we visited ~8pm+ but we were lucky only waited 15 mins for a table.
We have ordered:
: Salted Egg Crab
: Tofu dish with mince meat
: Fried Rice
: Chinese Spinach with 3 types of egg (chicken egg, duck egg & century egg).
The lady server was friendly and has good food knowledge. Due to my vegetarian practice, the lady offered to get the chef to customize the fried rice to vegetarian version & also separated the tofu dish with meat on the side. I was grateful for her gesture & allowing me to enjoy the dishes.
My friends found the crab not as fresh as expected as the flesh was hard to remove from the shelf.
The fried rice was excellent cooked with high heat (chinese saying of "wok hey") but we have not overly enjoyed the chinese spinach soup with eggs as there was too much starch & resulting the gravy/soup too sticky.
We would like to visit again to try out their signature friend hor fun with egg (fried flat rice noodles) as it seems to be popular among other diners.
If you want to try authentic chinese food, it is a place to check it out

Simply over rated. The dishes are either too oily or too salty. Mingzhou rolls have a undelectable combination of English ham, probably prawn and egg packed into a fried roll. The taste outcome is poor. The moonlight horfun is far too drown in its own sorrow of oil. While the liver in the claypot has the right texture, it is mired in an OPEC cartel of gooish liquid and saline. Consolation: prompt and friendly service.

Heard so much about this place, thought give a try and it did not disappoint. Service cannot be fault, food was excellent, price reasonable.
Be the first to ReplyEnjoyable food
Booked the earlier slot of 5.30pm for dinner as parking is challenging during peak mealtimes. By the time we finished the meal at 6 plus, the carpark looked crowded!
The salted egg crab with the mantou to soak the sauce in, the coffee pork ribs are a must try. The hot plate vegetables balance the other dishes.
I appreciate the waitress' instruction of keeping the mask on until the food comes and a bag to store your mask 😷.
Sit outdoors for more ventilation.
Price-wise, it does seem more value for money than going to an air-conditioned restaurant selling similar dishes.
One of the best Zi Char places
Very popular eatery serving tasty local Chinese dishes. For first timers, their signature dishes are a must-have and these taste just as good as takeout.
