Swee Kee Eating House is a family owned restaurant, founded by the late Mr Tang Kwong Swee. With a rich history dating back to the 1930s, part of their heritage includes being a roadside hawker stall in the 1950s along Chin Chew Street (tofu street).
As pioneers of the traditional Cantonese-style fish soup in Singapore, the rich texture and colour of the soup that features a milky white broth is achieved through long-hour boiling of the stock over high heat, without adding milk.
Who is Ka-Soh one might ask? Ka Soh Por was a waitress hired together with her mother-in-law by the late Mr Tang Kwong Swee during the days of Swee Kee as a hawker stall along Chin Chew Street (Tofu Street). Despite her fiery temper and no-nonsense nature, regular customers remember her fondly and would constantly return to visit Ka Soh Por.
Intertwined with Swee Kee Eating House’s history, Ka-Soh is a house-hold name in the Singapore. Founded by Tang Tat Cheong in 1995, the brand came to be from the nickname which regular customers gave to Swee Kee Eating House.
