Menu
Chin Lee Restaurant was first established in Bedok, Singapore in 1973 and remains an icon to this day, serving classic old-school Teochew cuisine. A favorite among guests is their Teochew Steamed Pomfret ($86++/$109++/$132++). Steamed alongside mushrooms, tomatoes and pickled mustard greens to bring out its natural sweetness.
Other dishes to try include Hei Zhou, which features succulent oysters in crispy egg batter. This elevated version of an oyster omelette makes an ideal start to your meal; furthermore, Fried Oyster Pancake ($15) should not be missed either!
If you’re craving noodles, look no further than Chai Por Kway Teow ($14++/$21++/$28++). This delectable flat rice noodle stir-fried with garlic, preserved dried radish and kailan is sure to please – though requires skilled frying skills for optimal results!
