Dining At Home During Circuit Breaker - Keng Eng Kee (KEK) Seafood

KEK1

Keng Eng Kee Seafood at Alexandra has always been one of my go to places for zichar dishes with my family, friends and even overseas friends visiting Singapore. While I can't dine-in at the restaurant during the COVID-19 circuit breaker period, I am glad that it now offers island-wide delivery, bringing its delicious food to every corner of Singapore.

KEK2
Moonlight Horfun

If you have been to KEK Seafood, you will probably notice a popular dish on every diner's table. It is none other than their Moonlight Horfun. The dish got its name from the runny egg yolk that shines brightly on top of wok-fried rice noodles that is packed with intense flavours. You need not worry as the dish travel well with distance during delivery.

KEK3
Salted Egg Prawn

We had the Couple Set Menu B, which consists of the Moonlight Horfun, Salted Egg Prawn, Spinach with Ikan Bilis and Coffee Pork Ribs. The salted egg prawn has huge and crunchy, coated in finger-licking good salted egg sauce. What I like about the sauce, is they use real salted egg yolk to make it instead of powder.

KEK5
Spinach with Ikan Bilis

I didn't bring justice to the Spinach with Ikan Bilis. The ikan bilis is packed separately, and I forgot to garnish it to the dish when I took the photo. It is very thoughtful of the restaurant, so that the ikan bilis remains crispy, providing the contrasting texture for the vegetable.

KEK4
Coffee Pork Ribs

Another popular dish at KEK Seafood is their Coffee Pork Ribs. If you have dined at the restaurant before, you will smell the coffee aroma from a distance. Besides the aroma, the pork ribs are tender and juicy too.

Takeaway and island-wide delivery are available at https://kengengkee.oddle.me/en_SG. Besides a la carte menu, it even have couple and family set menus for easy order. You can also order their sister brand burgers from Wok-In Burger on the same site.

Dining at Home During Circuit Breaker - The Salted Plum

TheSaltedPlum1

With the COVID-19 pandemic, we have to shelve our travel plan until all the travel ban and restriction is lifted. If you have been to Taiwan and miss its cuisine, let The Salted Plum brings a piece of their Taiwanese Zichar rendition to your home during the circuit breaker period.

TheSaltedplum3
Lu Rou and 12-hr Eggs

The Family Value Set which comes with options for 3-4 pax and 5-6 pax. Customers can also choose to upgrade their rice to sweet potato congee. I had the regular family set which comes with Lu Rou, 12-hr Eggs, Cold Tofu, Oyster Mushrooms, Smashed Potatoes, Smashed Cucumber, Pork Chop, Burnt Chilli Chicken, Mei Cai and Red Tea Jelly Dessert.

Cold Tofu

Among the spread of dishes, I really enjoyed the fork-tender Braised Pork Belly and the soft, silky Cold Tofu.

TheSaltedPlum4
Oyster Mushrooms, Smashed Potatoes, Pork Chop

The Oyster Mushrooms, Smashed Potatoes and Pork Chop are deep-fried to a delightful bite, but I just felt that there was too much fried stuff.

TheSaltedPlum5
Burnt Chilli Chicken

Tender and juicy is the Burnt Chilli Chicken. I like the hint of smokiness on top of that spicy kick.

TheSaltedPlum6
Mei Cai

I like my Mei Cai, but the seasoning was a bit heavy for my delivery. I am sure they can do better in standard and consistency.

TheSaltedPlum7
Red Tea Jelly Dessert

Last but not least, wrapped up the meal with Red Tea Jelly Dessert. It even comes with chewy tapioca balls giving the dessert a pleasing textural contrast to the crunchy, gelatin jelly.

The Salted Plum offers both takeaway and island-wide delivery. To order visit https://www.saltedplum.co.
