Have a cup of real bitter tea after your meal - the Teochew style 
Traditional Teochew yam paste, with pumpkin and gingko nuts!
Miss Nicey Angeline wanted to recommend me this Teochew restaurant so we decided to head there this evening. Erm, is there something on my face that says I am kinda a glutton coz friends around me seemed to be recommending and bringing me to places to eat. Goodness, it must be my face :P Anyway, this Teochew restaurant is Chin Lee Restaurant. It's at Bedok North Road, located at Blk 115, #01-285. We were there pretty early so not many people. But according to Angeline, it's good to make reservation as it's usually quite crowded. Calvin also joined us for dinner. We ordered homemade tofu with mushroom (fresh and smooth!), roasted chicken with garlic (interesting but thought the garlic was kinda salty), sambal kangkong (vege was crunchy and sambal was nice!), fish maw soup (lotsa ingredients, I think my mummy will like it!) and fried kway tiao (Teochew style, good, not too oily). For dessert, we had the traditional yam paste, it was smooth and I really felt like a Teochew gal eating that, has just got that traditional flavour. My grandma will like it! Hmm, but we thought it was a bit too sweet. Realised that the menu also has some other interesting and traditional Teochew dishes. I think I am gonna bring my parents there one of these days. Heard the crispy pig trotters is good and should try the coffee pork ribs too, there seem many more kinds of dishes to try, greedy gal :P Thanks Miss Nicey Angeline for the recommendation! Thanks for the company too! Muack! :) Good, you are learning to enjoy yourself, ha, learning all the bad things from me!
