About Us

The Teochews are the second largest Chinese dialect group in Singapore, and Teochew cuisine has established itself in the country. Among the many Teochew restaurants, Teochew Restaurant Huat Kee stands out with its consistent reputation.

In the 1920s, founder Mr. Lee Er Di arrived in Singapore and took charge of the kitchen. With nearly a century of culinary heritage, Teochew Restaurant Huat Kee has been operating for over 50 years.

Teochew Restaurant Huat Kee has expanded its business to include seafood processing, import-export, and more, with a complete production line—an exceptional feature in Southeast Asia.
