Dim Sum brunch. The food is hit or miss. The Ngo Hiang is really good and has a generous serving. The rest of the dim sum is alright. The carrot cake is fragrant. The seafood crispy noodles come with a lot of fish and deshelled prawns! Instead of dim sum, I think going for Teochew food might be better. Service is excellent and attentive. The environment is clean, but the air conditioning is very strong.

The food is alright; it's average, traditional Teochew-style dining. There's room for improvement in the food to attract a younger crowd. The service staff is friendly and accommodates food requests. They also change your plates promptly. The ambiance is classic, with very traditional, old-school Teochew restaurant vibes. I will be back to try more dishes 🌟

On February 6, a group of eight colleagues gathered at Chin Lee Tea & Dine for a festive Lou Hei lunch to celebrate Chinese New Year. As a Teochew restaurant, it emphasizes a healthier style of cooking. We ordered a variety of dishes, including a uniquely prepared Lou Hei. Notably, the meal left no aftertaste of thirst, which was a pleasant surprise. I was especially pleased to enjoy the yam paste dessert with a vegan option, meaning it was served without pork lard. The service was excellent, with attentive servers who promptly replaced our plates and ensured our tea was constantly refilled. Overall, we had a sumptuous and satisfying meal, well worth the price. No regrets!

"It was my first time having dinner here to celebrate a birthday with my family. Overall, the experience was just so-so. The food portions were pathetically small for the five of us. Considering the portion sizes, the price felt high and not worth it."

The food is excellent. The service is way above excellent. The Seafood Crispy Noodles has a lot of sauce, and the shrimp are huge and fresh. The chicken feet are succulent and tasty. The sweet and sour pork tastes 10/10, and the Teochew pork cold dish is yummy.

My relatives and family frequently visit this restaurant for rather authentic Teochew cuisine. Their Siew Mai is amazingly delicious, with water chestnut in it. Their prawn roll is very succulent too, and their pork jelly is an all-time hit with the elderly. Their signature tofu is nicely done, and their garlic chicken is very tender and meaty. The only two things that are just "meh" are their garlic fish slices (you can tell it's those frozen fish, and there's not much taste) and the signature mee sua. It just tastes like fried bee hoon and is overly salty. The chai poh kway teow is very uniquely Teochew, and they did it really well! It's my all-time favorite. Their oyster omelette is very succulent and fresh too. The chili is great! It's definitely a restaurant the elderly would love. There's a 15% discount with UOB or Citi cards when you dine in!

"Very good food! Especially the black granite yam cake and beancurd skin roll. They were so good that we ordered a second plate."
