About Seng Hing Gourmet

Generations of Monash students and nostalgic regulars fill Seng Hing Gourmet for unpretentious, fast-paced Cantonese comfort. The room carries the no-frills hum of an old-school Hong Kong diner, moving hearty plates from the wok at student-friendly prices. Regulars zero in on item A1—the deep-fried spicy pork chops over steamed rice, tossed with spring onion and paired with house crispy chili oil. For something distinct, roast duck arrives blanketed in Cantonese-style soft scrambled eggs over rice.

  • Signature A1 Spicy Pork Chops: Crispy seasoned pork chops over steamed rice, tossed with spring onion and chili and served alongside homemade crispy chili oil.
  • Roast Duck with Scrambled Egg: Tender roast duck served over rice topped with velvety Cantonese scrambled eggs.
  • Decades-Long Monash Institution: Serving hearty, budget-friendly Cantonese staples near Monash University for over two decades without changing its core recipes.
