Hiong Kee Dumplings

Kee Changs ($1.60) aren’t readily available in Singapore, but you do find alkaline rice dumplings here, where they’re personally wrapped by Richard Lim, Hiong Kee’s second-generation owner. Aside from offering the breakfast favourite – usually sold out by lunchtime – another must try is the signature dumpling of lean pork and salty egg ($3.60) filled with sweet, still crunchy chestnuts and mushrooms, with a full salted egg and well-flavoured chunks of pork; definitely one of the better dumplings we’ve had. The kicker as well is their homemade chilli pepper, a secret mix of chilli, dried prawns and sugar that brings all the flavours together.
