Keco Food & Health is a casual Chinese restaurant at 8 Botolph Alley near Monument. It specialises in quick, affordable meals for City workers, residents and visitors, with food available to dine in, collect or have delivered. A daily changing lunch buffet sits alongside an extensive cooked to order menu drawing on northern Chinese, Cantonese, Sichuan and familiar takeaway traditions.
Starters include vegetable spring rolls, salt and pepper tofu, chicken wings, ribs, squid and prawns. Dumplings, soup filled xiao long bao, siu mai, buns and pancakes extend the smaller dishes and make it easy to assemble a shared lunch. These choices move from crisp fried snacks to soft steamed doughs and savoury fillings.
Fried rice and noodles can be ordered with chicken, beef, prawns or vegetables, with wide beef ho fun and rice noodles adding different textures. Main dishes served with jasmine rice include sweet and sour chicken or pork, black pepper beef, roast duck, char siu, kung pao chicken and twice cooked pork. Chicken and mushroom stew and braised beef with tofu curd provide slower cooked alternatives.
Mapo tofu, braised tofu and vegetable rice dishes give meat free diners substantial choices rather than simple sides. Congee offers a gentler meal, while the changing buffet allows customers to build a box from rice, soup and several daily dishes. Keco also prepares platters and miniature buffets for meetings and events, extending its practical City lunch format to larger groups.
