Our forefathers, Low Peck Yah and Koh Yok Jong, came to Singapore from Hainan Island, China in the 1950s. Equipped with authentic Hainanese cooking skills, they were determined to use their skills to wok up delectable local delights to the Chinese community.
The loving couple started out by selling Hainanese Chicken Rice in a small coffeeshop located at Old Havelock Road. Using the freshest ingredients combined with excellent culinary skills, the food suited the palate of the local community and soon, their business expanded.
As their business prospers, the couple expanded their business to open another hawker stall selling local “zi char” in the 1970s, along Old Havelock Road. With this “zi char” stall, came along the romance of the couples’ eldest daughter, Koh Liang Hong, and their employed chef, Liew Choy. Liang Hong was task to manage the “zi char” stall as her parents were occupied with the other stall. Through the tough time spend together managing the “zi char” business, love blossoms between Liang Hong and Liew Choy and eventually, they got married.
Over the years, their forefathers inculcated in their descendants good values such as diligence, hard work and commitment through managing their small business. Liew Choy acquired the authentic culinary skills of the old couple. Through many years of cooking experience and experimenting with local palates, he had mastered a unique culinary style of his own.
Upon the demolition of the former Havelock Road Hawker Centre, Keng Eng Kee Seafood shifted to Alexandra Village. Till now, the name had stayed with us for more than 20 years. We are fortunate that we had grown, from a small rented stall to a bigger premise at our current location.
We are also honoured that Keng Eng Kee Seafood has been recognised by establishments such as Makansutra, Singapore Brands and Singapore Entrepreneur. Most importantly, we are happy that we have gained the support of our loyal customers who had been dining with us through these years. For all the recognition and positive media branding, we would like to thank all our customers and patrons who have supported us.
With the 3rd generation taking over Keng Eng Kee Seafood, you can be assured that we will strive to serve our best ‘zi char’ to all our customers.
We hope that every dining experience in Keng Eng Kee Seafood restaurant will be a delightful gastronomy experience for you and your loved ones.
