KEK Keng Eng Kee Seafood (Alexandra)

I was disappointed that the salted egg sotong was dry instead of in a creamy salted egg sauce, as I had erroneously expected. Contrary to what many reviewers have said, I did not enjoy this dish very much. The salted egg flavour was lost in the thick starchy batter and the whole dish was far too salty and dry, it had me drinking gulps of water after every squid ring.

An absolute delight! The pork is extremely tender, and this pairs well with the crisp coat of caramelized coffee marinade. It can get a bit dry after a while though, despite the sweet sauce. Also, Medium size was probably a bit of an overkill for our party of 4 - Small should have been enough to satisfy everyone.

Maybe it was the busy crowd or maybe it was that strange cold spell in Singapore during mid-Dec...but the dish didn't serve up as piping hot as usual and that's why it wouldn't get 5 stars.

A yummy pot of seafood with mushrooms and vegetables. The sauce was light but flavourful. Ingredients given was generous but this is a small pot for $30.

Overall, a delightful dish. Best for those who love sea cucumber and fish maw.

We reached Kek at 6.30pm on a sat night and waited 20 mins got a seat. Food came in about 15 mins.

Moonlight Hor Fun is one of their signature dishes. A small plate costs you $6 which slightly on the high side for zhi char stalls though you hardly find any places offering you seafood stuff at $4 anymore. While we weren't expecting a hor fun with dark soy sauce, it was quite tasty with very strong wok hei. It was not too dry nor oily either.

Overall, it is decent but wasn't wow.

Finally a proper meal at KEK🤣 The first time I came was for reunion dinner and everything was such a rush.

The crabs were fresh, chili crab sauce was sticky sweet so I preferred the creamy butter crabs which is probably even more sinful. Everything was great but my favourites of the night were probably the crisp, smoky coffee pork ribs and moonlight horfun - the latter smooth, with a distinct wok hei😋
