Last updated 3 Aug 2026
Our take: Jinjin Tea Restaurant, also known as Chin Chin Eating House, is a long-standing Hainanese institution in the Downtown Core, known for its traditional Chinese fare.
The standout dish is undoubtedly the Hainanese chicken rice, praised for its tender, silky chicken and fragrant, chicken-stock-infused rice.
The accompanying chili sauce is noted for its balanced heat.
Beyond chicken rice, other popular items include fried rice, fried noodles, Hainanese pork chop, and curry fish head.
While the restaurant maintains an old-school charm with marble tables and ceiling fans, service is often described as brisk, and expectations for attentive service should be managed.
We'd recommend visiting for a taste of authentic Hainanese cooking, especially if you appreciate a nostalgic dining experience.
The queue, though potentially long, is reported to move quickly.
Be mindful of operating hours, as they may turn away customers during cleaning times between lunch and dinner.
A reliable choice for a comforting, traditional meal.
