Por Kee Eating House

Went to Por Kee Eating House last week and ordered their Fried Dice Chicken with Dry Chilli, Sambal Kangkong, Hotplate Tofu, and their Yang Zhou Fried Rice! Total bill was $56 for 2 pax😇 Overall ratings 8/10! Food was good but was a little pricey... would head back again for special family occasions😁

Por kee is an old school zhi char restaurant located at Tiong Bahru and has been around since the 90s.

There were many open air tables for dining, but there's always a worry that it may rain. Thank goodness we managed to get a small table under shelter this time around as it started to drizzle.

Their signature most popular food here is their Champagne Pork Ribs, which is a must have here.

Their Home-Made Beancurd was the biggest surprise for me here, its 5/5 for me, the best beancurd I ever eaten ever. A must order, once u try it, u will know why its so good.

Sambal Kangkong also on point here.

🍴TAKE OUT🍴

As we cannot dine in larger groups yet, our family decide to opt for an occasional takeout.☺️ Today, we had some hearty zi char fare from por kee eating house. We tried some of their more popular dishes such as champagne pork ribs, homemade tofu and hor fun🍲. While we were excited for their beef hor fun, it sadly fell short of our expectations as it lacked that distinct wok hey. However, we absolutely loved their homemade beancurd which was super soft and nicely braised. A dish we would definitely go back for~👍

Out of all their dishes, I found their signature Crispy Deep Fried Chicken ($18 for Half) which is essentially crispy roast chicken to be far too dry. While it was not too oily and its skin lived up to its name, I would go for more affordable, tender and juicy ones found at hawker centres instead. I really like this stall! https://www.burpple.com/f/eCk9jDH9

Overall, my first visit was spectacular enough to warrant a second visit. With outstanding service, divine food and reasonable prices for the quality offered, apart from having a nicer dining environment and being able to enjoy their food for free, I can’t see how it can get any better. Unfortunately, I saw how it got worse. Experiencing a price hike and tasting their more mediocre dishes on my second visit, I can’t say that there will be a third visit anytime soon.
Price: 5/10
Food: 8.5/10 (Huge variety of dishes done right)
Ambience: 5/10 (This is for the location situated basically on a sidewalk)
Service: 8/10
Overall: 6/10 (Worth a try for first-timers)
