This huge two-floor eatery opened in 2009 with the aim of building on the success of the famous Lin Heung Tea House in Wellington Street. It's modest inside but hugely popular and the dim sum trolley is a must, with customers keen to be the first to choose from its extensive offerings. The main menu offers classic Cantonese dishes with specialities such as Lin Heung special duck. Don’t miss the limited offered pig lungs soup with almond juice. The pastry shop below is worth a look on the way out.
Signature dishes include Eight treasures Duck, Malay Cake, and Pork Liver Siu Mai.

UNDERSTANDING THE MICHELIN AWARDS
STAR: Coveted by many chefs but bestowed upon only to an excellent few. Getting a star (or three) could change the fate of a restaurant.
BIB GOURMAND: Good quality, good value cooking.
Not quite a star, but most definitely not a consolation prize, the Bib Gourmand is a just-as-esteemed rating that recognizes friendly establishments that serve good food at moderate prices.
PLATE: Fresh ingredients, carefully prepared: a good meal.
In 2016 a brand new L’assiette or The Plate symbol was launched to recognize restaurants that 'simply serve good food'.
