Worth it for / Skip if
Worth it for — knowing the bill before you go — the venue publishes S$19.80 to S$27.80 across the individual items on record; a table you can lock in — seats are booked through reserve.oddle.me.
Skip if — you are deciding at the door: the record carries a booking route, not a walk-in policy; you want to step off the train into the room — it is 13 minutes on foot from Queenstown MRT.
Every clause above is drawn from a named field in this venue's record — a published price, a booking route, the verified hours — and nothing else.
What it costs
The venue publishes S$19.80 to S$27.80 across the 7 individual menu items in this selection. No service-charge or GST note is recorded against any priced row, so no all-in figure is estimated here.
Confirm the current price with the venue when you book. Forkin publishes prices only where a dated public source carries them, and flags it when sources disagree. Source: Keng Eng Kee Seafood (Bukit Merah) official menu. Last checked 3 September 2026.

The longer version
The MICHELIN Guide’s own inspector page for the Bukit Merah outlet calls it a popular cze char restaurant that “does some great dishes”, naming the fried salted egg crab, coffee pork ribs and claypot duck with sea cucumber, while noting it is not conveniently placed and that the setting is not unlike a hawker centre. The Infatuation Singapore, which dines anonymously and pays for every meal, reviewed the same address in May 2026 and frames it as a third-generation institution that sticks close to its old-school open-air format. A dated April 2018 DanielFoodDiary review of the same Alexandra premises records the moonlight horfun and coffee ribs as the dishes it is known for.

Signature dishes
No dish is named for this venue in any source on record. Dishes are listed here only where an official source names them, so none are guessed from menus or reviews.
Opening hours
Day-by-day hours are not verified for this venue. Hours are published here only once a dated source has been read for the whole week, so a partial week is never shown as a full one.

WORTH A LOOK
Confidence: mediumForkin desk assessment of attributable public coverage — not a personal dining review.
Re-evidenced 17 Aug 2026. Two countable exact-outlet sources survive: the MICHELIN Guide inspector page for Keng Eng Kee (Bukit Merah), and a May 2026 signed review by The Infatuation Singapore, a publisher that declares anonymous visits and that it never accepts free meals. The previous record’s claim that the outlet "holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand distinction" is not supported by the cited MICHELIN page, which displays no award level; that claim is withdrawn. Two distinct publishers, one of them a major critic, support a WORTH A LOOK stamp but not the top band.

The previous record asserted a Bib Gourmand distinction; that assertion is withdrawn as unsupported by the cited source. Three distinct publishers are now countable, one of them a major critic. The band was set on 17 August 2026 on the stated ground that only two were countable; that ground has changed, and the band has deliberately not been raised in this pass. It should be reviewed in a normal assessment cohort rather than moved as a side effect of a records repair. MICHELIN also records a non-food caveat about the location and the hawker-centre-like setting. The DanielFoodDiary review is eight years old. It is dated, exact-outlet and independent, so it counts, but it carries no weight as evidence of how the restaurant cooks today; evidence recency rests on the 2026 MICHELIN and Infatuation entries. Condé Nast Traveler publishes a substantive review of this exact outlet but is undated: re-checked 4 September 2026, the page carries no article:published_time, no structured-data publication date and no date rendered to a reader. It stays context-only on that ground alone, which is its own ground and not the withdrawn DanielFoodDiary one. Miss Tam Chiak (27 Jul 2015) is substantive and dated but the author discloses a pre-existing personal relationship with the chef ("I have known Chef Wayne for some time"), so it is not counted as independent.
