Seng Kee was started by Uncle Lee in 1979 and gained a following in the early 1980s when he was operating in a Eunos coffee shop.
Known for his robust, umami-rich soup and flavourful bak chor mee, the stall steadily built a loyal following over the years, including Tampines GRC MP Baey Yam Keng.
Uncle Lee was also known for his noodle-tossing technique while cooking, a signature style that became part of the stall’s identity.
To this day, he has remained committed to his principle of not using MSG or seasoning powder in his soup.
