Seng Kee doesn't only sell it's herbal soups and mee sua; it is actually a tze char restaurant that sells a plethora of other wok-fried dishes as well! We decided to try out the small coffee pork ribs ($12), which is not a dish that many tze char stalls have. There were around 6 pieces of meat, which is just enough for 2 to 3 persons.
The pork ribs were coated in a generous coffee-flavoured sauce, and we thought that the sauce was actually pretty concentrated! You will definitely be able to taste the coffee in this one and the sauce reminds me of roasted/slight burnt coffee beans. π The pork ribs have quite a fair bit of meat, although there are also a number of bones so you may need some effort for this dish. We also liked that the skin was covered in a thin layer of batter, which gave the exterior a nice crispy texture.
Seng Kee was really crowded when we visited on the evening of a public holiday, and we had to queue to even get a table for two. Be prepared to wait for a table if you are visiting during peak hours!
As we already ordered the black chicken herbal soup, we decided to order mee sua in another soup base instead! The white mee sua at Seng Kee is a bowl of mee sua served with small shrimps, fish slices, minced pork, egg white and garnished with coriander. The mee sua was served in a pretty thick broth that was slightly sweet, and we loved that the restaurant added a little bit of wine into the broth as well.
The picture shows the medium serving ($9), which we think is just right for 2 to 3 pax. For 2 pax, the serving is enough to fill up two normal rice bowls for each person. The broth is a little thick so it gets pretty filling, hence we encourage you to save enough stomach space for the other dishes! On a side note, the mee sua has also been trimmed into shorter strands, so you can easily eat this dish using your spoon rather than your chopsticks!
Give the white mee sua a try even though it isn't one of the famous dishes at Seng Kee! We think it's underrated but it would probably be a great comfort dish, especially on a rainy day. π
Silky smooth mee sua in herbal soup. I had mine with sliced pork while they also have it with liver and kidney which can be customised accordingly to each individual preference. The herbal broth is flavourful and light with hints of sweetness. A comforting bowl to have especially on a chilly night.
Started about 50 years ago, @seng_kee_black_chicken was initially well-known for its Black Herbal Chicken Soup, and it became even more popular after it launched its Pork Kidney Mee Sua Soup. Over 10 types of herbs and pork bones are used to prepare the broth, which is simmered for 7-8 hours. Their flavourful broth and well-cooked ingredients (pork, liver & kidney) will certainly bowl you over!π
You must try/order their Har Cheong Gai too!ππ Crispy, flavourful and not at all oilyβ¦

Finally tried this bowl of mee sua (approx $6). Did not disappoint and wished I ordered a bigger bowl. Soup was really good and hugs you from the inside. Comfort food for a rainy day!
Tip: request for just pork slices if you aren't into innards.

This is one of the dish that seng kee is famous for: their mee sua with pig kidney and liver ($6.80). The soup is definitely a winner here, with its deep, bold herbal flavour. The mee sua is not too soft as well. The pig kidneys and liver are fresh and have little odour! Definitely a dish you can try when you are in the area π
Burnt in a very delicious way, very filling! π
Also had their specialty Mee Sua and the herbal soup taste is really good π Next time will try more of their Zichar dishes π
Good amount of ingredients and Mee Sua!
A little oily for the soup but great broth! Wish can be more herbally.
