Keng Eng Kee Seafood Singapore Reviews from The Last Year
cant really go wrong with KEK.
the food is delicious - we ordered the chili crab meat with mantou, coffee ribs, spinach and drunken prawns for dinner last night. service was prompt even though it was super crowded. ambiance's casual
This was my favorite restaurant so far during my 2 days in
This was my favorite restaurant so far during my 2 days in Singapore! We ordered the Chilli Crab, Signature Moonlight Horfun, Claypot Beancurd with Sea Cucumber, Chinese Spinach, and Buns. Everything was seeped in flavor... and I actually loved everything besides the Chilli Crab. I didn't think the crab had too much meat, which was a bit of a bummer.
Feels like a hawker center, but it's a restaurant that
Feels like a hawker center, but it's a restaurant that takes reservations, etc. The fish head curry was the most delicious curry I've had in a lifetime of enjoying curries. Huge serving, too. Next to us a family of 4 ordered it and just rice and vegetable for dinner. Cereal shrimp were simply terrific. The cereal seemed a bit like cornflakes; the shrimp were large and firm and lovely taste. The flavors unexpectedly merged and yum. The bee hoon (thin rice noodles) was just perfectly done. It's a dish that's easy to muddle. This is how it is supposed to be.
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
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!
Simply delicious
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.
The 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.
Great food in Singapore
Fabulous food. Chili and pepper crab was great and much better than Jumbo. Coffee ribs were fantastic too. Would highly recommend
Better 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!
Quality of the food has deteriorated immensely
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. 🤢
Chilli 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.
Classic Singaporean zichar fare for an affordable price.
We got a spread of disassembled chili crab, horfun, salted egg squid, coffee pork ribs, prawn paste chicken, cereal prawn, and stir fried kailan -- all for ~$30/person in a group of six, drinks included. Service is what you would expect from a typical Singaporean establishment too: quick, efficient, no nonsense, and mostly spoken in mandarin. Despite the spread, the food itself was ok and I've had better zichar elsewhere. The cereal jumbo prawns were my favorite, as the prawns were very juicy and fresh. But, the salted egg squid was dry and we regretted not getting the whole chili crab instead.
Not 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.
Average.
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.

Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.

Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid? |
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
Payouts
Anyone know how increase payout transfer to bank as I can only send $50 a day and they charge $5 for every transaction. There must be a way. I’ve contacted support two days ago and not a reply.

I have some reservations coming up tomorrow that have gotten lots of views but haven’t sold yet. I haven’t made a sale yet since I just joined this week.
