In celebration of its 1st anniversary, Hey Kee (嘻記) introduces 10 new dishes inspired by a recent culinary journey to Guangzhou and Shunde. This special menu refresh aims to bring a modern twist to traditional Cantonese flavours. To mark the occasion, diners can enjoy a 50% discount on 9 of the new dishes from 25 March to 27 March 2025, available for both lunch and dinner.
Lychee Prawn Balls with Worcestershire & Smoked Chilli Pipettes 4/5
We started our meal with the Lychee Prawn Balls ($16.80 for 6pc), a classic dish with an exciting twist. The prawn ball itself isn't entirely new, but what makes it special is the addition of two distinct sauces —Worcestershire and Smoked Chilli Pipettes. These sauces elevate the flavours, adding a tangy depth and a subtle smoky heat, making each bite more enjoyable.
"Hair Dryer" White Pepper Jumbo Prawns 4.2/5
A dish that truly stands out for its unique preparation is the "Hair Dryer" White Pepper Jumbo Prawns ($42.80). This dish utilises a traditional Cantonese technique, where jumbo river prawns are seasoned simply with Sarawak white pepper and salt. The hair dryer technique, used just before serving, creates a crispy and tantalising exterior while preserving the succulent texture of the prawns.
Braised Pork Trotters with Golden Oysters 4.2/5
The Braised Pork Trotters with Golden Oysters ($36.80) is a rich and gelatinous dish celebrated for its high collagen content. The addition of oysters infuses the braised pork trotter with a deep umami essence, enhancing the overall enjoyment of this hearty dish.
Flambe Angus Beef with Whisky 4.5/5
One of the most visually spectacular dishes of the evening was the Flambé Angus Beef with Whisky ($46.80). Served tableside, thick premium beef cubes are seared in a flavourful sauce before being ignited with high-proof whisky. The result is a deep caramelisation, a subtle smoky aroma, and perfectly tender, flavourful beef that melts in your mouth.
Braised Homemade Tofu with Crab Roe 4/5
This dish transforms humble homemade tofu into a luxurious delight. The silky Braised Homemade Tofu with Crab Roe ($24.80), lightly braised to a delicate crisp, is generously covered in a rich and velvety crab roe sauce. The sweetness of the handmade tofu provides the perfect base for the decadent flavours of crab meat and roe, making this an elegant yet comforting dish.
Nostalgic Simmered Tiger Grouper Fish Soup 4.2/5
The Nostalgic Simmered Tiger Grouper Fish Soup ($98) is both nourishing and indulgent. The tiger grouper, known for its firm, collagen-rich flesh, is double-boiled with its bones and skin intact, preserving its nutrients and natural sweetness. The broth is further enhanced with cabbage, tofu, tomatoes, and wolfberries, creating a deeply flavorful and revitalising soup.
Steamed Roe Crab with Glutinous Rice 4.5/5
A highlight and ultimate crab indulgence is the Steamed Roe Crab with Glutinous Rice ($138). A whole crab crowns a bed of fragrant glutinous rice steamed together in a bamboo basket. The fragrant rice is infused with the crab's succulent juices for a buttery and oceanic sweetness. Tender crab meat and luscious crab roe further enrich the dish.
Glutinous Rice Cake with Brown Sugar 4.5/5
For dessert, we ended our meal with the Glutinous Rice Cake with Brown Sugar ($8.80 for 5pc). These crispy, golden rice cakes feature a chewy, mochi-like texture inside, with a caramelized brown sugar coating that adds just the right amount of sweetness. Simple yet incredibly addictive!
With its modern take on Cantonese classics, Hey Kee (嘻記) continues to impress with its refined flavours and innovative techniques. The Hair Dryer White Pepper Jumbo Prawns and Flambé Angus Beef with Whisky stood out as must-try dishes, while the Steamed Roe Crab with Glutinous Rice is a showstopper for seafood lovers. If you're looking to explore new and exciting flavours, this anniversary menu is an excellent opportunity, especially with the limited-time 50% discount. Be sure to visit from 25 to 27 March 2025 to experience these freshly curated dishes!
