I haven't tried the Canberra outlet before. I've been visiting Chin Lee since I was young, but at the Bedok outlet. My great-grandmother used to book 4 to 5 tables there to celebrate her birthday. Those were the days when the suckling pig was still being roasted in charcoal behind the restaurant. Overall, the food was not bad. I liked the crispy oyster omelette, and the steamed pomfret was fresh. I always like eating orh nee, and this version wasn't too sweet, so it was quite good.

Dim Sum brunch. The food is hit or miss. The Ngo Hiang is really good and has a generous serving. The rest of the dim sum is alright. The carrot cake is fragrant. The seafood crispy noodles come with a lot of fish and deshelled prawns! Instead of dim sum, I think going for Teochew food might be better. Service is excellent and attentive. The environment is clean, but the air conditioning is very strong.

The food is alright; it's average, traditional Teochew-style dining. There's room for improvement in the food to attract a younger crowd. The service staff is friendly and accommodates food requests. They also change your plates promptly. The ambiance is classic, with very traditional, old-school Teochew restaurant vibes. I will be back to try more dishes 🌟

On February 6, a group of eight colleagues gathered at Chin Lee Tea & Dine for a festive Lou Hei lunch to celebrate Chinese New Year. As a Teochew restaurant, it emphasizes a healthier style of cooking. We ordered a variety of dishes, including a uniquely prepared Lou Hei. Notably, the meal left no aftertaste of thirst, which was a pleasant surprise. I was especially pleased to enjoy the yam paste dessert with a vegan option, meaning it was served without pork lard. The service was excellent, with attentive servers who promptly replaced our plates and ensured our tea was constantly refilled. Overall, we had a sumptuous and satisfying meal, well worth the price. No regrets!

"Very good food! Especially the black granite yam cake and beancurd skin roll. They were so good that we ordered a second plate."

The food is excellent. The service is way above excellent. The Seafood Crispy Noodles has a lot of sauce, and the shrimp are huge and fresh. The chicken feet are succulent and tasty. The sweet and sour pork tastes 10/10, and the Teochew pork cold dish is yummy.

"It was my first time having dinner here to celebrate a birthday with my family. Overall, the experience was just so-so. The food portions were pathetically small for the five of us. Considering the portion sizes, the price felt high and not worth it."

"Great experience for the price, and a great selection of songs. Even if a song wasn't in the database, you could find it using the YouTube function."

The ever-reliable Teo Heng! It's reasonably priced, and you can walk in without a reservation for a quick karaoke session. Canned drinks are $1 each.

The old woman working at the counter gave us death stares and didn't want to let us in, apparently because we looked like gangsters. They told us to come at 8:15, so we waited outside. When we returned at 8:15, because we didn't have a booking, they gave our table to a couple who arrived later. Absolutely shameful!
