Chin Chin Eating House (Purvis Street) Part 2

As promised, we returned to Chin Chin to try the famous Chicken Rice and Hainanese Pork Chop. (Read our earlier post here) At 7pm, there were only eleven white chickens left; all the roasted ones were sold out. It was very crowded and almost impossible to find seats.


No chicken rice meal is complete without abundant amounts of chili sauce, minced ginger and the mandatory dark soya sauce.



We ordered the small portion of the Hainanese Pork Chop ($6) and it came fried to a crisp, but slightly moist on the inside. On the side were some potato wedges and green peas that have been boiled till faded/yellowish-green. Goes without saying that we did not finish our peas.



The pork chops came with a bowl of tangy sweet tomato sauce with onions slices. While the sauce was mildly sweet and great for dunking the pork chop, it was too watery for our liking. Overall, S found this dish rather lacklustre. Sher on the other hand, thought it was decent (she loves anything fried & crispy).


Along with the pork chop, we had one portion of the chicken ($4). Despite being the chicken breast (because Sher didn't want bones), it was very succulent and went well with the fragrant rice.


Lastly, we shared a Fu Rong Omelette ($6). We were expecting prawns in our omelette but turns out that it did not contain any ingredients at all besides the obligatory bit of spring onion. Hmm ... so we paid $6 for a plain omelette?
