Chuan Kee Seafood — Restaurant in Singapore

This is my family's 2nd year having our reunion dinner here.

Based on last year's experience, food was good, and the portion was big. Sadly, our patronage this round was disappointing.

It's was a package dinner that almost cost $700. Price aside, but one would expect the quality of taste, food and portion.

Dishes that were served in order of sequence: Lobster done in 2 ways (lobster roll with mayo and deep fried in batter sweet sauce) I felt it was alright, nothing spectacular. The roll wasn't crunchy but soft when placed into the mouth. Deep fried version was salty.

"Shark Fin" soup made up of crabmeat, fish maw(I think) and tang hoon. it was overly done with corn starch and had a little weird taste.

Steam whole fish timing was alright but can be better as the texture of fish was little firm fish was fresh for me, the seasoning was well-balanced, not overly salted soy sauce

Dong Po Rou served slightly differently as compared to other places. instead of the pork being in slices wrapped in buns, the pork came as a big chunk. Pork was super tough, unbreakable with chopsticks that we had to have a few pairs of hands to tear apart the meat. Buns were deep fried and to eat with the pork but not wrap around it my grandparents with dentures had a hard time biting it and complained gums pain

Broccoli with shimeiji mushrooms and fish maw. vegetables were crunchy, fish maw were sliced up to strips, making it bite size however, again, it's salty for me.

Glutinous Rice I like the taste! lightly seasoned with mushrooms, cured meat(lap cheong) top half of the rice is black while bottom half is white.

Cheng Teng Dessert refreshing on a hot night! interesting combination of desserts: Longans Red dates Sea coconut Apricots Basil seeds.

Overall, the standard had dropped compared to last year. Food was overly salted, quality not great! I guess the kitchen can't manage/cope that each dish served, there's a lapse of...

honestly this place is overrated, the food is not anything to shout about, very mid. regarding the reservation, they will not honor it and u have to queue regardless, we asked the guy in front of us whether he also reserved then he angrily shouted at us that this place does not have good management and stomped off after they tell him no reservation even tho they do "take down" the number when you call to reserve. regarding the food, many of us agree that it is not well seasoned and also the seasoning is all at the bottom of the plate, such as the haebee on sijidou all below the beans... all items not enough taste for reference we ordered: salt n pepper sotong, chili crab, sweet sour pork, sijidou, haezhor, hot plate tofu, yam ring, mantou sweet sour pork was still pretty good and crab was fresh enough but the sauce taste like jelly nothing tasted above average, even regular below the block zichar is better, also the crab they dont crack at all and they didnt give us the shell cracker we have to ownself walk to counter to get it regarding the environment, it was the worst place ive ever been to, swarming with kids who dont know how to behave, they are all running around shouting and crying and disturbing everyone. this place also has self service helium balloon for children, not only do the adults keep bursting the balloon every minute and shocking everyone who is eating, the children keep releasing balloon into the sky which is bad for the environment, this isnt limited to kids, even some teens and young adults find joy in releasing 5 balloons into the sky for no reason food: mid, bad even price: $34/person too ex, not worth for the standard environment: HORRIBLE, even sitting outside is bad as there is no wind since the industrial buildings are blocking all the wind will never come...

A hidden gem in Lower Delta - prices were reasonable (and serving sizes were alright), and not only do they offer zhi char dishes, they also have lok lok, satay, and even freshly shucked oysters. All dine-in customers are also entitled to complimentary desserts. The service here is pretty good too, we would return. . Fried Tofu with Pepper and Salt (S$10) - individual fried silken tofu cubes, crispy and yummy! . Four Heavenly Kings (S$10) and Sambal Kang Kong (S$8) - the kang kong came piping hot, and it was spicy, with a good amount of shrimps in the dish. The 4 Heavenly Kings was also fragrant and yummy with a different type of sambal.

Fried Chicken with Dried Chilli (S$12) - deep fried till golden brown, served with dried chilli. Slightly different cooking style from the typical dried chilli chicken, but still yummy. Would have liked more fried peanuts though. . Lok Lok (S$1.50 per stick) - a bit greasy. Bacon with enoki mushroom - quite nice but there was lots of fried batter. Fried flat fish - it was quite hard to eat (it wasn’t that crispy and it was a bit sweet), neither was this filling. We also had Japanese scallop (lots of fried batter too, pretty good), some kind of Chinese fish ball (no batter, just deep fried, interesting but didn’t know what flavour this was), and beancurd skin (no batter and my favourite item of the lot).

About the free desserts: Beancurd - quite a small serving, not bad for a free dessert but had a slightly different smell to it. Popcorn - this was very popular, there wasn’t much of this left. Pretty basic. . I found their sambal chilli interesting too, although my family didn’t quite like it. . I also bought their rice dumpling at the cashier (S$3.20) - not too bad.
