I was introduced to the ones at Chin Chin Eating House recently by one of my blogger friends, a classic restaurant that brings the nostalgia back from the 1980s. Located at the corner of Purvis Street, Chin Chin is no stranger to Hainanese food lovers. Inside Chin Chin 津津, the old school restaurant founded in 1934 has a familiar, homely feel. Very clean and basic functional decor. Chin Chin is popular with families as their quite extensive, reasonably priced menu has something for every generation.
Sauces for chicken rice.
The dark soy sauce was a failed. It was very watery and lacking of taste.
The chilli sauce wasn't that spicy and fragrance too.
Lime Juice - $1.50
Normal.
Chicken rice - $1
The rice wasn't that fragrance and the rice was quite soggy.
Steamed Chicken - $13 (half)
The chicken on the other hand was tasty, tender and covered with a attractive layer of fat. The portion of chicken was surprisingly large.
Taste: 1.5/5
Sambal Kangkong - $6
The sambal kangkong was too watery and it was lacking of spiciness and the crunchiness in the kangkong.
Taste: 0.25/5
Chaipo Omelette - $6
The chaipo omelette was pretty normal. The omelette wasn't crispy and savory enough!!
Taste: 0.5/5
Food: 0.25/5
Ambiance: 0.5/5
Service: 0/5
Overall, the food was pretty average!! The ambiance was very noisy too and the service was even worst!! I had the worst experience at Chin Chin eating house!! I will never go back again!!
