For the first time in its history, the awards ceremony for the annual World’s 50 Best Restaurants ranking is held in Singapore. The shindig takes place today (June 25) at Marina Bay Sands, which means our little island is suddenly crammed with a lot of the world’s top chefs, who are all in town to attend the awards.
If you’re a foodie who’ve had the good fortune of dining at their restaurants, or at least watched Chef’s Table on Netflix, you’d be familiar with some of these big names — Massimo Bottura, the Italian chef-owner of Osteria Francescana, which was ranked the world’s top restaurant last year, Eric Ripert of three-Michelin-starred seafood restaurant Le Bernardin in Manhattan, Daniel Humm of New York celeb hotspot Eleven Madison Park… the list goes on.
But where do chefs eat when they’re off-duty? And where do they makan when they’re in Singapore? As it turns out, they also throng beloved local zi char restaurant Keng Eng Kee Seafood like the rest of us.

Eric also shares that KEK is late chef and food personality Anthony Bourdain’s favourite spot for chilli crabs, saying: “I go to this place where Anthony Bourdain used to love to visit all the time.” Okay, it just might get harder to snag a table there after this.
