Hai Kee Seafood

Hai Kee Seafood operates at Newton Food Centre, located at 500 Clemenceau Avenue North, #01-78, positioning itself as a supplier of Singaporean seafood dishes at this legendary hawker center. The stall's Instagram account (@haikeeseafoodnewton) claims the business has been "serving Singaporean cuisine for more than 30 years at an affordable price," suggesting deep roots in Singapore's hawker culture.

The stall has become particularly known for BBQ Prawn, which appears as its signature dish across various listings. Operating at one of Singapore's most famous food centers, Hai Kee benefits from Newton's reputation as a must-visit destination for both locals and tourists seeking authentic hawker-style seafood in an outdoor, open-air setting.

Multiple sources describe Hai Kee Seafood as offering "great Singaporean and seafood dishes at unbelievably affordable rates," positioning it as a value-conscious option within Newton Food Centre where prices can sometimes climb higher than typical neighborhood hawker stalls. This affordability combined with quality execution has contributed to its longevity.

However, similar to other Newton stalls, Hai Kee Seafood faces conflicting information regarding its halal certification status. Several sources including Halal Tag Singapore, Asia Halal Directory, and the stall's own Instagram account list it as "Halal-Certified." HalalTrip describes it as a "Muslim friendly restaurant."

In direct contradiction, the Newton Food Centre website explicitly states: "No, this stall is not halal-certified, as it serves pork." This creates significant uncertainty about the current halal status.

This conflicting information could stem from several possibilities: different stalls with similar names at Newton, changes in certification status over time, or errors in directory listings. The mention of pork service in one source versus halal certification in others represents an irreconcilable contradiction.

Muslim diners are strongly urged to verify the halal certificate directly at the stall before ordering and to confirm the certification status with MUIS to ensure compliance with dietary requirements.
