Our take: Meng Kee Zi Char offers a unique dining experience, set within the nostalgic confines of a former primary school canteen.
This spacious, open-air environment is a refreshing change from typical coffeeshop zi char, making it ideal for family gatherings or larger groups.
We note consistent praise for the value, with one reviewer mentioning a $150 bill for 10 people across 8 dishes, and another highlighting a four-dish set meal for under $50.
The food generally receives high marks for not being overly salty and for prompt service.
The pig trotter mee hoon, priced at $15, is a standout, described as generous enough for three people and enhanced by crispy pork lard.
The fish head curry also comes highly recommended.
We appreciate the transparent nett pricing, with no additional GST or service charge.
The complimentary iced sea coconut longan dessert is a nice touch.
This is a solid choice for a casual, value-for-money zi char meal in a distinctive setting.
Best for groups of 3 or more, especially if you're looking for a relaxed, uncrowded atmosphere.

It is quite interesting to eat in the school canteen. The zi char was good, food not too salty! The food was served rather quickly, we did not have to wait too long.
First time trying the zi char pig trotter mee hoon and the portion is generous. I ordered one plate $15 and can shared among 3 people. There are a lot of crispy pork lards and enhance the whole dish.…
Located in a previous primary school. It had a nostalgic feeling to it. The atmosphere is like the tuckshop of old. There were only 3 of them. One cook, one helper that took the order and one server.…
Really good. Fish head curry was one of the best I had. Will definitely be back again. Set meal of four dishes less than $50!
