Ordered the set meal of Har chi min with prawn dumplings and came with a prawn in beancurd skin appetiser. Topped up with herbal jelly dessert for a small sum.
Dumplings and the iced HK milk tea were excellent. Noodles a bit plasticky in taste but sauce was just right. The appetiser and dessert were ok.
Overall a nice experience.

Porridge a little on the bland side and more liquidy than I expected. Thought it shld have been a thicker congee like. Fish is good though. Prawn cake is nice. Overall, price point is definitely too high for the quality.

🇭🇰Hong Kong Comfort, Right Here in Singapore 🇸🇬
Had lunch at Mui Kee (Singapore) and, wow, what a comforting bowl of nostalgia! The house-made pork meatball porridge was velvety smooth and packed with flavour. The century egg with crispy dough fritters was that perfect mix of silky and crunchy (the kind that makes you pause mid-bite just to appreciate life).
The beef brisket? Fall-apart tender like it’s been slow-cooked with love and a dash of old Hong Kong soul.
And then there’s the tau suan: not your average bowl, mind you. The hint of orange peel gave it this subtle citrus lift that made it stand out—simple, but genius.
Bonus points for the Canto oldies playing in the background. Felt like being transported to a cosy 茶餐厅 cha chaan teng somewhere in Kowloon, minus the frantic pace and noise.
I feel Mui Kee doesn’t just serve porridge. It serves memories. ❤️🍲

Yummy and hearty congee place in town! Although it's quite pricey for the bowl of congee, it's quite worth it as it has a special taste to it.
Our must orders are the fish congee, beef claypot and youtiao! Drinks wise - hot barley water is great, though the chrysanthemum tasted abit unique?
♿️ wheelchair accessible entrance and able to sit inside as there is quite some space.

Went to Mui Kee for dinner. There was no queue around 6pm but starts to fill up fast around 7pm.
The century egg was surprisingly nice, and mixed together with the congee, it taste very good.
The Mushroom with Broccoli was well made, with the Broccoli and Mushroom balancing the taste of each other.

Have visited a few times over the years and we personally feel the best way to enjoy Mui Kee is to order a plain congee and pair it with a few ala carte dishes. While it is almost expected for them to excel in their congee (and they do), some of their ala carte dishes are also outstanding.
We recommend the White Pepper Frog Legs (crispy, well-seasoned and surprisingly meaty), Pork Liver (cooked to the exact right doneness) and the Century Egg (creamy and packed with umami). The claypot congee despite being plain is still seasoned well and the natural sweetness of the congee comes through much more clearly.
It is however a little on the pricier side so be wary of any unrestrained ordering which can quickly add up.

Knowing that Mui Kee originally came from Hong Kong, we decided to give it a try.
1. Hong Kong Milk Tea – This was the first item served, and it turned out to be very disappointing. It tasted exactly like regular kopitiam milk tea. They clearly didn’t use the proper tea blend or the brewing method typical of authentic Hong Kong milk tea. Not worth ordering if you’re looking for a true Hong Kong-style version.
2. Sakura Shrimp Cheung Fun – Both the shrimp and cheung fun were nicely done. The fragrance of the sakura shrimp complemented the delicate rice rolls well. The cheung fun itself was thin and smooth, not overly soft or mushy.
3. Fried Wonton – The menu photo looked like it would be 錦鹵雲吞 (crispy wonton with sauce), but the actual dish was just plain deep-fried wontons. A bit disappointing in presentation and expectation, though the sweet and sour dipping sauce was pleasant.
4. Superior Soy Sauce Noodles with Prawns (豉油王炒麵) – Available only on weekends. The noodle texture was good, springy and not overcooked, but the flavor of the soy sauce was very mild. The portion was also much smaller than expected, with just 3–4 prawns for $13.90. (I took a photo of the actual portion.)
5. White Pepper Fried Squid – Too oily, with the pieces lacking structure. It seemed the squid was soaked in tenderizing powder (likely baking soda) for too long, resulting in an overly soft texture that didn’t taste like squid at all.
6. Noodles with Minced Pork (炸醬麵) – An authentic version should have a sweet-and-sour flavor base with mild spice. This version was mildly spicy but lacked the characteristic sweet and tangy balance. The sauce tasted flat overall.

We walk in hungry, ordered dishes instead of their famous porridge and claypot. Ordered rice which is available when requested but cost u $2.50 each. Try out their weekend only braised chicken. Its serve cold, first one come w blood at the bone area, reject. Very graceful, they replace it w no question ask. Very impressed by their service. Braise chicken is good. The minced pork w preserved mui choy very good. The simple kailan boiled w oyster sauce very good too. Then we decide to try their porridge. We ordered a kosong porridge, make it or break it test. Its simply excellent. If u r early u can get a window seat if u don't need big tables. Very impressed by tis Les Amis restuarant

Chanced upon Mui Kee after trying the original branch in Hong Kong, so it was hard not to compare. The porridge here is good; comforting and well-cooked, but lacks that “wow” factor that would draw me back. The coffee is pleasantly fragrant, a step above the usual coffee-shop brew. I like the décor, which showcases the brand’s history with nostalgic, old-school touches, and the soft Cantonese music adds a nice, subtle atmosphere. Overall, a decent experience, but nothing particularly memorable.

Beef brisket soup is very fragrant, beef is tender and wanton mee is very springy and eggie.
The fish in the porridge is the bigger cut which is nicer to eat. Pair the porridge with You Tiao and it’ll be perfect.
Milk tea and coffee is pretty average, not like Hong kong. I would skip it.
Soy chicken is only on weekends, worth trying.
Other than that overall the food is tasty and identical to HK.
