Chun Kee

My parents work across the street from this small «hawker center zi cha» stall, and I’ve seen it change over the years. It started out being absolutely amazing and my brother and I would meet our parents over at the stall to have a quick and simple, and CHEAP dinner. Apparently since I’ve left to pursue life in a different couple of continents, the main owner had passed away after becoming really ill. He had to sell the stall away to someone that really brought the place down. My parents even stopped their patronage.
About a year ago, the former owner’s brother took over the stall and has brought it back to greatness. If you’re visiting Queensway Shopping Centre, or Ikea, this is the place to go for a good meal. The fried beef kway teow is truly one of the best in the business, and has a much more local flavour than anything else I’ve had (Hong Kong style included), and the fish slice kway teow with bean sprouts is a definite staple for the place. I don’t think their shrimp paste fried chicken (har cheong gai) has returned to former glory, but it’s definitely good in the books.
The location is still a little out of the way, but it’s worth it if you drive or don’t mind a trek off the beaten path.
