Sum Kee Food is your classic family restaurant, the crowd was packed full house and easily made it look like there wasn't enough seats to go around. There is also a nice garden to stroll around and for kids to play outside.

As it was a family celebration event, we ordered a feast! We ordered the Ngo Hiong, Crispy Strips Prawn, Coffee Pork Ribs, Ultra Man Chicken, Cod Fish, Tofu Minced Pork Mushrooms, Fried Beef and Broccoli Scallops.


Ngo Hiong ($8 - small, $12 - medium, $16 - large) was tender and well cooked, sweet sauce made it even more addictive.


The next dish was the Crispy Strips Prawn, it is a very unique dish with many crispy strips draped and wrapped around a fresh juicy prawn. Quite interesting.


Coffee Pork Ribs ($10 - small, $15 - medium, $20 - large) smelled and tasted so good I almost wanted to order one more plate of it strictly to myself instead of sharing with the whole family. Thumbs up! Do try it if you are here as well.


Ultra Man Chicken ($10 - small, $15 - medium, $20 - large) was also very good. The lovely marriage of salted eggs and tender fried chicken in one dish... highly recommended!


Cod Fish was really fresh and light tasting as the meat broke almost on its own beautifully.


Tofu Minced Pork Mushrooms was average.


Fried Beef ($10 - small, $15 - medium, $20 - large) with spring onions was also good, the beef itself was tender and delicious, soaked in tasty sauce.


Broccoli Scallops ($18 - small, $28 - medium, $36 - large) was ordered to offset all the meats we were eating. The scallops were so nice, bouncy and fresh!

The staff are very helpful except one who was not handling the pressure from overwhelming crowds too well. It's my first time here, and I think the only easy way to get here is via car as it is quite out of the way.

Looking for new dessert place around town area and found Vanilla Bar & Café. I ordered a Chocolate Molten Cake. Warm dark brown cake was rich and luscious, when I cut into the middle of the dense cake, gooey and hot chocolate slowly flows out. Accompanied by cold smooth and velvety vanilla ice cream. This place is cozy and quiet, would definitely come back again to try the savory dishes.

As I live nearby about 5 minute drive away, I like to come here often to take a night stroll under the moonlight with the seabreeze…. No really actually the smells of the seafood!

We ordered Half Shell Scallop , Cereal Prawns and Chilli Crab with Fried Buns.

Fresh and succulent scallops covered with springy vermicelli , aromatic garlic and fried pickled radish with a splash of light sauce. This dish is savoury sweet and beautiful with being intact to the shell.

Crispy Cereal Prawns were coated with butter that has been specially infused with chilli padi and fragrant kariff leaves topped with crunchy and flavourful toasted cereal. The fresh crunchy prawns were fried well to the point where it didn’t need de-shelling and eat it whole (without the head unless you prefer).

Big meaty mud crab, beautifully placed like a sculpture in a pool of bright red eggy chilli tomato sauce. Sweet and tangy sauce coated the moist and scrumptious exposed crab parts (not the claws) , and upon breaking open the claws revealed phat crab meat that has preserved its natural juices and freshness. Simply delightful!

Hanging out at Dempsey Road, sometimes a little sick of eating all the usual Chinese/Japanese/Western so decided to try Indian Cuisine this time after hearing the hype about the Fishhead Curry. We ordered Fishhead Curry, Sotong Curry and Tandoori Chicken. Fishhead alone was massive sized in proportion to the bowl. The curry has a great seafood freshness and not the usual poultry curry taste. The fishmeat is soft and my favourite part is the fish eyes and the cheek which is the gem of tenderness! The fishhead has a lot of soft parts that are high in collagen, and collagen is great for us women who want to firm up our skin.Next dish was a great visual appeal of squid and onion sliced circles in a curry bowl. The squid meat is well cooked, firm, and not rubbery at all. This curry texture tasted a little different, like there’s additional tomato puree or something to thicken the gravy so there’s variety in each dish.Flavourful and aromatic tandoori chicken was small and shrivelled due to the prolonged cooking. Barely fills me up, but it’s alright if you’re in for the taste.

I wanted to order more, but by now I was a little sick of eating anything. Especially curry.
