If you’re looking for another old-school, traditional zi char spot, look no further than Chuan Kee Seafood Restaurant. The highly-rated restaurant has been around since 1975, so you know they’re legit.  These Are The Best Zi Char Places In Singapore, According To Google Ratings What sets this restaurant apart from other typical zi char places is their service—here, customers can get free tidbits such as popcorn, ice cream, cotton candy, and even house-made tau huay. What’s more, those who opt for delivery can get free satay if they order more than $50!  Some must-try seafood dishes include their Sri Lankan Crabs (seasonal price) and Prawns (from $22++).

If you prefer something spicy, the Deep Fried Diced Chicken with Dried Chilli ($12++) comes highly recommended. Chuan Kee Seafood Restaurant often rolls out discounts on selected dishes too. They currently offer a Mini Buddha Jumps Over The Wall for $18.80++ per serving, perfect for those who want something light yet comforting.  The zi char restaurant has two outlets island-wide, both being approximately a 16-minute walk from Tiong Bahru MRT Station and Toa Payoh MRT Stations.  For more zi char fare, take a look at our Hong Sheng Restaurant coverage, another traditional zi char eatery with more than 50 years of history.
