“My family loves to go to Sin Chao Gardens at River Valley. It’s a heritage Teochew culinary institution run by a Teochew owner. The prices are fair and you can also dine in air-conditioned comfort. We will always have the pomfret of course. They serve it with pride here, and most times, it’s steamed to perfection with the classic slices of pork fat beneath the fish. Another must-have is the Teochew fish cake, which is full of flavour and has just the right bounce and bite, unlike other more commercialised versions.”
