One of the few zichar/ chinese restaurants that we frequent since young, dining at chin chin eating house again after so long really brings back feelings of nostalgia.😍 Though famed for their chicken rice, their other dishes such as hainanese pork chop and prawn roll are our absolute favourites that we never fail to get!🍲 Have to admit the food quality has declined slightly over the years, but it nonetheless serves up pretty decent Hainanese fare.👍 Furthermore, dining here is more of a fond memory to us and this restaurant will always hold a special place in our hearts.☺️

Flipping through the menu and I noticed that they have many stir fry dishes, including the chicken rice that most people go there for. As their roasted chicken was sold out for the day, we got the traditional Hainanese poached chicken, which was perhaps my preferred choice these days. From my seated position, I am able to see that the staff actually submerge the cooked chickens into a cold water bath before it gets hung up, waiting to be chopped. This dipping into cold water stops the chicken from cooking further and results in a gelatinous layer underneath the skin, which is commonly found in Hainanese chicken rice. Overall, not the best I’ve eaten, but definitely a decent one.

The chicken rice here is very flavourful and steamed chicken is always very soft and tender. However, what I I like most about this place is that they serve traditional Hainanese delights, and my favourite is their chives with vermicelli.

Coming here of course must order their chicken plate. Their roasted chicken got the texture and also juicy.

It took me long enough to finally came here for meal. One of their signature item would be this pork chop serving with a cup of tomato sauce and potato wedges.

Their Hainanese pork chop wasn’t impressive as I though especially the tomato sauce doesn’t really improve the taste. And the pork was in the soft and dry side.

Ordered chicken rice for 2 persons. $4.8 each. It is okay.

Going to Chin Chin is like going back home for dinner. It feels very homely and the food is not mind blowing, but more of your basic comfort food.

For those with a chicken rice craving, you found the spot!

Not a very memorable plate of chicken rice, although price is reasonable for the area. Soup was downright bland. Still prefer Sin Swee Kee one street over!

This Bugis stalwart is a hotspot for groups at lunch time, thanks to the variety of dishes that you can have alongside a great plate of chicken rice. The Chicken Rice ($4.40) sees perfectly steamed breast meat and fluffy rice. Share dishes such as the Hainanese Chap Chye ($10) that's full of wok hei, the flavourful Bittergourd With Scrambled Egg ($10), the rich Mutton Soup ($7) and the savoury Eggplant with Salted Fish ($10).

There are number of chicken rice shops around the Bras Brasah Area and Chin Chin Eating House is the one that really caught my eye due to the crazy lunch crowds that they attracted. Other than the standard chicken rice dishes such as roasted chicken and wenchang chicken, they also have a selection of tze char dishes. Very solid ingredients although taste-wise there are better eateries I could think of.

I have been in search for the perfect sin chow bee hoon and it’s been an arduous journey - I thought I’d never find it .

My first mouthful of the sin chow bee hoon just brought a feeling of excitement to my taste senses and warmth to my belly.

The bee hoon had such a good wok hei and it was not greasy at all - how did the Chef even do that ?

Well balanced in flavour , moist and the use of fresh shrimps just made this fish even better .

Squeeze on some lime and you are ready to roll....

Definitely one of my favourite places for an affordable “ home cooked “ meal 😊.

This place was flooded by groups during lunch time but I didn’t find it particularly delicious to warrant me coming a second time. The rice though fragrant, was a bit hard. Soup was light and cleansing for the palate. Chicken was nothing much to shout about.

It’s Chin Chin for some yummy tender chicken for us, with their satisfying chilli of cos.
Add some Hainanese crispy pork chop and sambal Kang kong for a complete meal. If only there were more of us we’d add on their popular claypot curry fish head. But regardless, the chicken was already a winner for us.

This is one of my favourite places for chicken breast meat rice! The meat is tender and juicy, not dry like most other places. The single portion of chicken rice also comes with generous portion of meat! Chicken rice is also very fragrant and tasty! Always tempted to order 2nd round!

And this is half chicken ($14)?! Super big portion and yes definitely going back for more. Personally I think this is better than the famous chicken rice (B.T.K) haha! The waitress said that they made the white chicken themselves while the roasted chicken was taken from another place.
Overall: ❤❤❤❤❤

While most may cringe at the sight of chicken breast .... they are default choice parts of a chicken.

Well poached chicken through not as good As boon tong kee’s but good enough for a fuss free meal .

The rice is not greasy and portions are huge for 4 dollars .

The best about their chicken rice must be their extra spicy chilli and flavourful chilli . It’s the kind of heat that just gets elevated exponentially with every dip .

So lovers of spicy chilli - their housemade chilli is one fiery fiery treat 😊

My must order dish when I am at chin Chin ...

Their dishes tend to be a little greasy so it is best to ask for less oily and I must say that they really do pay attention to my requirements .

A flavourful vegetable dish with the umami from dried shrimps and dried cuttlefish -

Yes - you didn’t read wrongly . .. like a fusion dish 😛

I like Chin Chin’s version of this dish because

1) there is evidently a lot of bittergourd
2) the bittergourd was well cooked
2) the eggs are fluffy and not drenched with oil
3) the eggs are cooked scrambled egg style

Yums !
A simple dish but not many are able to do this properly .

For those of you who dislike onions , remember to order your dish without onions because ordinarily they do add onions to this dish 😊🙏
