Por Kee Eating House


Air "Conditional" Funny! Haha!

This is another air-conditioned Tze Char place that I brought my casino guests to and they keep going back.
Por Kee is ideal for gatherings of more than 5 people so that you are able to sample their popular dishes.
It was a last minute decision to head down to Por Kee with Eunice and gang and boy were we glad we went! :-)

Just next to the Carpark

Stepping into the restaurant, we were transported back to the eighties, with big groups of people of all ages gathering around the different big round tables chatting and eating. Live seafood displayed in tanks near the kitchen area and most of the service staff are local aunties who probably have been working for Por Kee since their youth.

Home Made Bean Curd With Beans and Mushrooms

You just have to try the Home Made Bean Curd With Beans and Mushrooms! It's fried to golden perfection and served with carrots, sweet beans, mushrooms and sea cucumber.
I really wonder how they did it. The beancurd is very soft and very fragrant. I wonder if they drizzled some special sauces over it to give it that fragrance and savouriness!
A very humble and ordinary dish by appearance. But the bean curd is out of this world! As I am writing this, I have deleted countless of adjectives like "smooth", "light" and "flavourful", and I am stuck as I really cannot find an appropriate word to describe this dish. Yes the dish is smooth, light and flavourful, but its better than that! You just have to try it for yourself. Best tofu dish I've tried at zichar stall.
**PS : Bernard, this is much much much better than the tofu at Two Chefs. I swear. It's TMD 好吃!

Crunchy Fried Egg With Shrimp

Their Fried Egg With Shrimp is is really good! the sides are really crispy.. the centre is ok fluffy and the shrimps are soooo crunchy! very nice!

Frog Legs with Chicken Essence

I am not a fan of chicken essence. Bleah...!!! But for some strange reason I love the Frog Legs with Chicken Essence here. It's so good! The sauce yummy and the frog legs are so tender! 
ITS SO DAMN GOOD!!!

Champagne Pork Ribs (small version)

Champagne Pork Ribs. This is one of their specialty and the presentation is so old school! It has been ages since I saw these flowers used as deocrations on plates. LOL..

Fried Salt & Pepper Chicken

Next came the Crispy Fried Salt & Pepper Chicken. This dish was well executed as the skin was super crispy, no fats under the skin (wonder what is their secret?) and the meat moist and juicy. When dipped in the salt provided, it was a delightful burst of flavours! 

Salted egg crayfish

The Salted Egg Crayfish was very good! A very distinctive salted egg taste, very crispy some so crispy that you could even eat part of the shell. The meat was firm and juicy.

Steam Fish Thai Style

A must try is the Steam Fish Thai style - the steam fish is served in a metal plate. the waitress will then pour the spicy thai soup over the fish. the fire below is really strong, which allowed the soup to keep boiling. Fish is fresh and sweet. Highly recommended, but is quite spicy.
