Seetoh Kok Fye (born 1962),[1][2] better known as KF Seetoh, is a Singaporean food critic, author, restaurateur, and television personality.

The fourth of five children, Seetoh attended St. Joseph's Institution and the Baharuddin Vocational Institute. Beginning in 1983, he worked as a photographer for local newspaper The Straits Times, but left in 1990 to establish his own photographic studio.[3] In 1998, Seetoh and Lim Moh Cher founded Makansutra (a portmanteau combining "makan" and "sutra"),[4] a food guide publisher dedicated to Asian cuisine.[5]

In 2021, Seetoh collaborated with Urbanspace, a company managing food halls in the United States, to open a Singaporean hawker centre, near Times Square, New York, United States in 2022.[6]
