I went to Seng Kee yesterday after work to catch up with the friend over dinner. Located just behind Kembangan MRT, it is just a short 15 minutes drive from Changi Business Park. Reached there about 6:20pm, which was still rather early. Parking was limited, thus was already full. Following online recommendations, I parked at the taoist temple right opposite Seng Kee. 福生无量天尊. Heard that the car park is opened till 11pm.
Tried the famed pork kidney mee sua ($5/$6) along with salted egg yolk in squid paste ($11) and beancurd with chicken floss ($9).
The mee sua comes with pork slices, liver and kidney in which you can choose your combinations according to own preference. I had all three while the friend only wanted pork slices. It featured a rich herbal broth lined with pork protein strands. Very appetising just to look at it. Definitely a good and balanced combination with the flavourful soup not overpowering the other ingredients. The kidney is crispy and well washed. Good presentation with its uniformed criss cross cuts. Pork slices are good even on its own. Tender and smooth. No doubt about the mee sua. Wonderfully done to my liking. Soft but not lumpy, and the taste is well controlled, not overly salty. However the liver was slightly overcooked and too hard.
Next up is the salted egg yolk in squid paste. Looked really appetising. Very unique dish that featured a soft inside and a contrast crispy skin. Appetite whetting. The salted egg yolk while retaining the fragrant of salted egg, had do away with the saltiness. Thumbs up. I liked this dish. Will order again next time.
Finally the beancurd with chicken floss. First bite of it was totally... Blissful! The outside is well done to a crisp. The beancurd is so smooth. The sauce added some flavour to the chicken floss and prevented the entire dish from being too dry.
It would have won over the last dish if only there is more quality control in it. Unfortunately, down to the last two pieces, the beancurd was sour! Probably to do with the freshness of ingredient or that I'm just unlucky. We didn't ask for a replacement since we were pretty much done with it. However I did feedback to the waitress to caution the kitchen and avoid serving food of same standard to next customers. Not sure if she did feedback cause I didn't see her go into the kitchen at first opportunity.
Bill came up to $32.50 for one big one small mee sua and the two sides. Reasonable given the quality and quantity. But the sour beancurd can do better. Either way, I enjoyed my dinner. The rest is history.
