Fook Kin Review – Fook Kin restaurant, Killiney Road
Located at 111 Killiney Road, just a hop off Orchard Road and a few minutes’ stroll from Somerset MRT, Fook Kin (福劲)—which translates to “Fortune Strength”— offers traditional cantonese flavours and upgraded Zi Char dishes.
The restaurant’s decor is a mix of old-school charm and modern flair with hints of retro elegance, reminiscent of Singapore’s bygone era. Contemporary touches like graffiti art and neon accents infuse the space with a youthful energy, creating a casual yet charismatic atmosphere that feels unpretentious, easy, and welcoming.
Fook Kin Roast Pork & Char Siew
Fookkin’ Mix Platter (from S$35) – The stars of the show are undeniably Fook Kin’s roast meats. The roast pork had a satisfyingly crispy, crackling skin that gave way to tender, somewhat buttery meat. The char siew featured a very nice mix of textures, with a nicely burnt, sweet, caramelized crust and a tender, fatty, succulent middle. Both meats were truly enjoyable.
Fook Kin Sweet and Sour Pork
Fook Kin Sweet and Sour Pork Gems (S$16) – This sweet and sour pork dish that is commonly found on many Zi Char menus, is novelly presented on a bed of dry ice. The smoke show isn’t just for visual effects though, the dry ice works to cool the sugared and tangy sauce that coats the deep fried pork, giving you a very satisfying sweet and savoury crunch that leads to warm, juicy and tender pork meat inside. Extremely enjoyable and arguably one of the best sweet and sour pork in Singapore—at this price point, at least.
Fook Kin Fried Rice
Sio Bak Fried Rice (S$8) – Surprisingly good fried rice with each grain standing distinct and not clumped up, with just enough oil used to give it a glossy sheen of yummy-ness. It had a good mix of eggs and scallions, as well as enough wok hei to keep you going back for more. Addictively good.
Fook Kin Golden Truffle Roast Duck
The Golden Truffle Roast Duck (S$33.20), as its name suggest, is a truffle-infused duck dusted in gold—because why not? It was tender and juicy, not too gamey, and had a mild herbal flavour with a hint of truffle. It’s a solid plate of duck no doubt, but I’ve got to say, I’m more of a roast pork kind of person.
Fook Kin Noodles – Mee Pok or Mee Kia
Last but not least, Fook Kin’s Minced Meat Noodles ($4), available in Mee Pok and Mee Kia, might seem simple, but they were a sneaky delight. With their springy texture and a hit of umami from the lard, they were a surprisingly great match for the other dishes. Think of them as the underdog hero of the meal—unassuming but totally worth it.
In conclusion
I’ll wrap up this Fook Kin review by saying they serve some truly excellent meat dishes. The Roast Pork, Char Siew, Sweet and Sour Pork, and Sio Bak Fried Rice were all outstanding dishes worth coming back for. In short, delicious food, nice easy ambiance, 100% must try.
