It was a gathering for my dear birthday with a group of friends so I went google for nice zi char place and found this Por Kee Eating House behind Tiong Bahru market. Por Kee is situated in a carpark at tiong bahru, is a
old style chinese restaurant. They have both outdoor and indoor which is their so called 'aircon' place and there is another aircon place beside the main restaurant. Luckily I have made the reservation if not I doubt we can find any seat. They are already packed by 630pm, all outdoor seats are filled up and the indoor are mainly for reservation only.
We ordered their specialist dish Champagne Pork Rib, Cereal Prawn, Dou Miao and Baby Squid. At first I wanted their deep fried sotong but the auntie told us not to ordered because is not nice and so she suggested the baby squid. Peanut and wet tissue is a must even we have tried to return it lolz... Total bill is about $105 for 6 person. I would said their price range is slightly higher than those normal zi char we ate at coffeeshop maybe is due to their popularity I guess.
Champagne Pork Rib ~ I never tried this dish due to my allergy to alcohol but the smell of the champagne is strong and fragrant and sweet. My friends who tried said they can't taste any champagne but all of those who tired said they quite like this champagne pork rib.
Cereal Prawn ~I love the cereal which looks like pork floss to me lolz. The cereal taste very buttery but the prawn are a bit tough if not this dish will be perfect.
Dou Miao ~ Their dou miao here is very different from what I ate outside. It is bigger and not those tiny dou miao than I usually ate. Overall this dou miao is not too bad, at least it is soft and don't taste 'old'.
Baby Squid ~ Sweet and crunchy baby squid with a touch of spiciness, good recommendation from the auntie.
