Liang Kee Teochew Restaurant

Somewhere along Robertson Quay's rows of boutique hotels, offices and apartments lies a hidden treasure that's yet to be discovered. A family-run Teochew restaurant that caters to family. The decor is simple and homely. However, the ingredients used are very fresh and prices are affordable and reasonable too. Most of the diners are regulars there.


For the Teochew, they like to start-off their meal with a Cold Dish. The prawn salad in the combination platter is very nice. A good mix of fried and non-fried appetizer.

The Teochew like braised duck and goose. (While the Cantonese prefer roast duck & goose.) The meat and sauce are very tasty and nice. The briased beancurd is also a hot favourite.

This is a stachy type of fish maw soup. I like to add lots of pepper to enhance the taste. According to my mom, fish maws are good for lungs. They are the air bladder of fish that enable them to control their buoyancy in the water. They are becoming popular due to high source of collagen.



 This dish is quite normal as I dislike the taste of salad cream. I prefer my prawns to be steamed.

The Teochew named the dish, Oh Luak. The Hokkien prefer to call them O-Chian. Generous portion of eggs. The giant oysters are hidden below. This version is not so oily but also not so crispy.

The steamed red grouper is so popular that before I could take a pix, half the fish is gone! The Teochews like their fish fresh and steamed with salted veg, ginger and sour preserved plum. The sauce is so tasty that you could even drink it like a soup. The best way to eat steamed fish is to eat them while it's steaming hot. The fish is so fresh and the meat so tender! So delicious!




This is another popular Teochew dish. The Teochew considered sea cucumber and fish maw as delicacy. My mom also informed me that they are high in collagen. So ladies, eat more if you want radiant looking skin!

The handmade buns are really nice. Very soft and yet chewy. They go well with the braised pork. Teochew meal isn't complete without the famous dessert, Orh Nee. A yam paste with gingko nut. The paste is smooth and not too sweet or oily.


Overall, Liang Kee is a nice place to enjoy simple Teochew food with your family or friends. Prices are reasonable. You can also try other signature dishes like cold crabs, steamed pomfret and sambal crayfish.
