Chin Chin Eating House

Colonial District, the Quays & Marina Bay


For a no-fuss Chinese comfort feed, step into Chin Chin's halogen glow. Top billing goes to the Hainanese specialities, from the celebrated chicken rice and claypot mutton, to the golden pork chop. Breaded and fried, the chop is crunchy and surprisingly light, served with home-style roast potatoes, peas and a vinegary, HP dipping sauce. Highly popular with the lunchtime work crowd.
