Popular Hong Kong congee stall, Mui Kee, has opened a pop-up restaurant in Singapore. In partnership with Les Amis Group, the Hong Kong institution will start a six month-long pop-up at Casa Verde in Singapore Botanic Gardens.

Mui Kee itself has a long and rich heritage, but what draws its customer fan base is the unique taste and texture of the congee itself. Using fish broth, pork bones and other ingredients like century egg, this congee takes comfort food to a whole new level. Those familiar with the name would know just how amazing their fish broth porridge is, and for those who are not, just imagine silky-smooth, velvety congee that brims with flavour.

This is comfort food like you have never had before, and if you ever needed a solid pick-me-up on a cold rainy day (or any day) then Mui Kee is definitely one to consider.

At Mui Kee’s pop-up, diners can choose from eight different types of congee that are popular among Mui Kee’s Hong Kong customers. They feature ingredients such as dace fish belly sautéed with rice wine, meatballs, pig’s innards and sliced beef.

The plain congee is perfect for a light yet satisfying meal—the fluffy, smooth texture is second to none. Meanwhile, the delicious fish stock adds a sweet and savoury aroma that makes the congee anything but plain.

The Cantonese-style porridge is available only in sets here, priced at S$12.50 and S$14.50.

Apart from congee as the main dish, each set comes with crispy dough fritters and sliced century eggs topped with preserved ginger. Diners can also select other side dishes such as drunken chicken (S$10) and blanched kai lan (S$7).

Mui Kee is slated to open its own proper restaurant at the end of the year, with a fuller range of congee choices. For now, you can head to Mui Kee’s pop-up restaurant at Casa Verde. Do note that the congee will be available only during breakfast and lunch.

Bee’s Knees at The Garage, nestled within Singapore Botanic Gardens, is a hideout away from the hustle and bustle of the city that allows you to dine within lush greenery, which makes it a perfect spot for weekend brunch.

The pet-friendly cafe serves a range of western dishes and specialises in pizza, pasta, sandwiches and desserts. Drivers should go by Cluny Park Road for direct access to Bee’s Knees.

Walk up a small pathway to a historical building which is home to two dining establishments—Bee’s Knees on the ground level and Botanico at the Garage right above.

Running a semi-self service concept, visitors have to make their orders at the counter and pick up the food at the collection point. No service charge is included in your bill.

You can choose to sit in the alfresco area during fine weather with your fur kids or head indoors to dine in an air-conditioned room.

We enjoyed the buttery Tiger Prawns (S$18+) pasta, which was full flavoured and came with plenty of juicy prawns and cherry tomatoes.

Waffles at Bee’s Knees are extremely photogenic and we decided to go for the Caramelised Apples, Greek Yoghurt and Cranberries waffle. Those who prefer soft Belgium waffles as opposed to crispy ones will enjoy this.

Good for sharing, and you can expect a combination of sweet and sour tones from the fruits and greek yoghurt.

Other dishes on the menu include Carnivore Pizza (S$25+), Truffle Carbonara Pasta (S$18+) and Beef Cheek Bolognese (S$16+). Dessert options include cake, churros and a variety of ice cream flavours.
