About Ming Kee Live Seafood (Macpherson)
Ming Kee Live Seafood (MacPherson) is a bustling, family-friendly zi char-style seafood restaurant tucked in the MacPherson heartland, popular with neighbourhood families and groups celebrating special occasions. Expect live seafood tanks, long shared tables and a lively atmosphere that’s quintessentially Singapore — a place where orders come fast, plates are shared and the rice bowls keep coming.
