Messina Eats: Keng Eng Kee

Messina Eats: Keng Eng Kee

For the first time ever, we're teaming up with Singaporean hawker royalty for a two-day car park flavour feast.

Mark your bib-wearing calendars: on Friday 10th and Saturday 11th October, we're unleashing a flavour fest with Singapore's legendary Keng Eng Kee.

RSVP HERE

Founded in 1970 as a humble hawker stall, Keng Eng Kee has grown into a third-generation family-run powerhouse, dishing up their iconic Singaporean dishes across three restaurants. They’ve got a Michelin Plate (2016-2024) and have been featured in numerous series such as Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown, and Netflix's Street Food Asia to name a few. Not to mention their cult following (and yes that includes us).

Since opening our first Singapore store earlier this year, KEK has been our go-to chow-down spot every visit. So it felt only right to bring the feast to you.

And incase you wanted to pop the confetti, this also marks our first ever
international guest collab for Messina Eats.

WHAT'S ON THE CAR PARK MENU?

- Coffee Pork Bites($20) - Tender pork wok-tossed in KEK’ signature coffee, honey and apple jam sauce, finished with roasted sesame seeds.- Chilli Soft Shell Crab Burger ($25) - A whole crispy soft shell crab in a fluffy bun, drenched with chilli crab sauce.- Chilli Crab Meat With Fried Buns ($28) - De-shelled crab wok-tossed in a rich, egg-swirled chilli sauce, served with golden fried mantou.- Black Pepper Beef With Garlic Rice ($22) - Tender beef wok-fried with black pepper, dried shrimp and curry leaves, served with fragrant garlic rice.
And saving the sweetest for last, we have The Milo Dinosaur Sundae  ($14) - milk pudding, milo fudge choc malt gelato, milo crumble, condensed milk whipped cream, sprinkled with milo.
