The aromas wafting across Singapore’s famous street food vendors, some of whom have thrived across decades, thanks to age-old culinary secrets, have drawn visitors from all over the globe. Home to some of the world’s most bustling hawker markets, many of these iconic eateries have even won recognition from the prestigious Michelin Guide. To give Mumbai a taste of one of their most celebrated seafood eateries that opened in 1970, the Consulate General of the Republic of Singapore in Mumbai and the Singapore Tourism Board, along with The Soul Company and Monika Alcobev Limited, are bringing Keng Eng Kee Seafood (KEK) to Magazine St Kitchen in Byculla this weekend.
The family-run business is currently helmed by its third-generation siblings —Wayne Liew (head chef), Paul Liew (managing director) and Jiamin Liew (operations director). Ahead of their first-ever visit to India, Paul shares his excitement over a video call. “We are a four-member team. It’s our first visit to India, so we can’t wait to explore the local flavours. With its rich history there’s so much to learn,” he admits.
