Teochew Dinner Gathering

Recently our ex-colleague Peter has returned to Millenia Tower for his new job in a Chinese company. After bumping into him a couple of times, we thought it will be good to meet up to do some catch up over dinner.


Steven kindly arranged dinner at a Teochew Restaurant at Boon Keng area. Though I have stayed in that area since my teenage years, I have never known any good Teochew Restaurants.

We went to Yuan Xin Teochew Restaurant located at Block 34, Whampoa West. When we arrived at the restaurant, it was almost empty with only 2 tables occupied. After browsing through the menu and ordered several popular dishes like cold crab, braised duck, steamed fish, prawn rolls, fried oyster omelette, vegetables with silver fish and stirred fried rice noodles with chai pok. All the mentioned dishes were delicious especially the rice noodles… THUMPS UP!

As for dessert, Steven ordered yam paste with ginko nuts. It was tasty but slightly oily for me. Overall the food served in this restaurant was great but I guess the pricing ain’t cheap. It was a treat from Peter as he mentioned that it was a great gathering after many years and he will be the host for tonight.

Thank you Peter for the wonderful dinner and Kai Ye for arranging!
