Joo Hing

Joo Chiat may be peppered with dozens of fine eateries, but for sterling Canto-Teochew classics, Joo Hing – a zhi char-turned-restaurant – is one of your best bets. From the lush and homey dishes on offer, we recommend the rib-sticking fried pork doused in a dense, sweet-and-sour sauce, and steamed red tilapia basking in fermented bean paste topped with a sprinkling of pork lard.
