Chee Kei (池記) – Popular Hong Kong Wanton Noodle Shop Opens at Changi Airport
February 20, 2019
Hong Kong’s wonton noodle chain, Chee Kei (池記), has opened its first Singapore outlet at Changi Airport Terminal 2.
Known for their plump and juicy wantons, Chee Kei started out on Russell Street at Causeway bay in 1994. They have since expanded, and now have five other branches in Hong Kong.
Each bowl of Shrimp Wanton Noodles ($8.95) comes with thin noodles and fat wantons. The noodles are less QQ than expected but the wantons are indeed big, filled with a generous amount of fresh crunchy prawns.
Dumpling in Chilli Oil (5 for $10.95) is the dish that I fell in love with only recently. Now, when I visit a Chinese restaurant, this is something I must order. The signature wantons are great, but I would have preferred the chilli to have more punch. It was pretty watered down on my visit.
Besides the shrimp wanton noodles, there were other specialties such as Dry Scallops and Shrimp Balls in Soup Rice ($10.95), Braised Beef Tendon and Brisket with Vegetable Rice ($14.95), and Shredded Pork & Century Egg Congee ($9.95).
It was breakfast time for us, and my friend was craving for something soupy yet substantial. Soup rice, it is! This is a comforting dish with minced meat and dried scallops. Delicious!
The Braised Beef Tendon and Brisket was not too bad. The beef tendon was simmered long enough to achieve a really soft texture. I wished that the beef brisket could be more tender though.
The food is pretty decent. I won’t mind coming here to have a quick meal before my flight. Don’t forget to get a cup of HK milk tea to go along!
