Really tiny bowl, it's alright for one pax but damn pricey
It's good though, clearly you can see the yam paste and the pork lard. The pork lard carries a bit of savoury taste here which was nice, but not for everyone. The Gingko nuts were perfect, and overall it wasn't too sweet.
Had it been more generous in portion for the same price I would have loved it
Orh nee ($4+ per portion), a must-order on every visit to Chui Huay Lim. Smooth and roch without being overly rich. Other must-try dishes include the orh luak and fried kway teow. Classic teochew dining at its most refined. For special gatherings, you can even request for a private room with karaoke set, if you call in to reserve early enough!!
This average sized lobster was fresh and really yummy! They can prepare it in a few ways - steamed with chinese wine, steamed with egg, amongst others.
Generally, my family loves this restaurant because it's homely and reasonably priced! It is a teochew restaurant so if you are a fan of orh nee, be sure to try that out too! (The ngoh hiong and oyster omelette is super yums too)

While this dish isn't the simplest of meals to prepare, the rolls are first steamed and then deep fried before tossed in sweet and sour sauce. The tender pork belly is wrapped in a crust that remained crispy and not soggy with a sweet and sour punch. The crisp batter is thin that you can see the meat through it.
.
Crispy Fried Pork Belly and Water Chestnut Rolls is priced from S$18 (small). .

For dessert, I love their orh nee with pumpkin and gingko without coconut milk. It tastes so nice. One bowl is $5.20. This is the best orh nee out there. Not too mashy or sticky. Not too dry or wet. Not too oily too. It is just right. Perfecto.
not a teochew restaurant if it does not serve you orh nee. chui huay lin definitely serves up a better bowl of orh nee. this cny's variant with hashima
