Lin's Braised - 271 Onan Rd

Chunky fish soup and tender pork! I will definitely be back back to try their other pork dishes and la mian. Fish soup is on the saltier side.

5.80 fish soup is on the high side for hawker, but most value for money fish soup I had. Their fish are chunky and not sliced paper thin like how others like to do it to short change customers. It's fresh and the soup is flavourful. I didn't try the pork rice but my partner did and sing praises for it too. Serving size is generous, hope it stays this way.

Amazing Hakka braised pork rice, brought my grandpa to eat and he absolutely loved it. Comes with eggs and preserved vegetables. The braised pork rice bowl is not too saltly, unlike other rice bowl. Very aromatic and well seasoned. Super authentic and a rare find in Singapore, this is a hidden gem! There really isn't any store like this. There might be a queue at times but it's worth the wait. The price is very worth it, very fulling. The big bowl can be shared by 2 small eaters and it comes with an additional tofu, so I would recommend getting someone with you to eat a big bowl!

This is a surprise find. All the better known stalls in the food centre is almost closed by the time I reached there. Browsed round the remaining atalls at least 4 rounds before I settle on Lin’s and boy am I glad that I chose that. Ordered a braised pork trotter rice that was a rice bowl filled with chunks of meat. The trotter skin was tender yet not totally soft so that you can still feel it’s texture, and the meat has absorbed all the strong braised flavors and hence a delight. Strongly recommend to add another beancurd if you can as it was extremely good soaked in the braised sauce. Of course such combinations can be found in some other similar stalls but Lin’s bowl does not give you the usual greasy after taste and you will not feel icky after downing the entire bowl. So do drop in and try something new instead of all the usual popular stalls there. Enjoy ?

I tried the braised platter with dry spicy la mian. My oh my! Let's review the la mian first... * Great QQ texture * Asorbs the spicy sauce very well * Insane but enjoyable level of spices in the sauce, with a tinge of vinegar and sesame seeds for that aroma. Braised platter is very enjoyable as well. My only complaint is that the braised sauce is quite salty, I would prefer it to be less salty but more aromatic and a little sweeter. Noteworthy mention on the big intestine - well cooked with no smell. The braised platter consists of big intestine, pork belly, pork skin, one full egg, tau kwa and tau pok. The dishes are definitely cooked with love. I will be back to try other dishes and support this little gem in the East.

Lin's Braised. 271 Onan Rd, #02-29, Singapore 424768. That's Dunman Food Centre. Daily from 1100H until 2030H. Closed on Saturdays. Ordered the Chef's Recommendation, Signature "Hakka" Braised Pork rice bowl. Served with Beancurd, Braised egg, Taupok, Preserved vegetables. Served with rice. I've never been a fan of Taiwanese cuisine, except for their braised Pork, be it Pork belly or mince. Other items are just too oily. Their deep fried stuff are just way too bland, even for a Teochew boy. They'd add taste by sprinkling Plum powder, Chilli powder, Pepper blah blah blah. I'm not saying that Taiwanese cuisine is bad, just to set the records straight. I'm just not a fan, that's all. That said, the dish here is amazeballs. The Pork belly was melt-in-your-mouth. The Taupok soaked up all of the love potion, hence its plump appearance. When you bite into it, I swear. I thought Ah Mei was singing 听海 behind me. It was a burst, or should I say, explosion of flavours (from the herbs and spices used to braise). Good lah, I tells ya. Don't get me started on the Pig's intestines. But screw it. I'm starting now. It was so well done that it was buttery. No hints of Porkie-pigginess. None. Nada. Slightly chewy in a good way, but melts away, at the core. Definitely one of the best Pig's intestines to have ever danced in my mouth. Oh. It was actually peppery in taste too. It was like magic. Where did she hide the Pepper? Love it. Rice was short, unlike the regular Jasmines. Pearly goodness. Soaking up the broth from the Witch's cauldron. This is the only time, where I have a lumpy, soggy portion of rice. I'm a very dry rice kind of eating machine. The chilli dip? Nice. The tangy bit helped chase the greasiness away from the proteins. Spiciness level was neutral, to me that is. Garlicky goodness too. I spoke to the lady and she said that she tweaked the recipe a little, to suit our local palate, hence "Hakka", to cut down the sweetness, as the original Taiwanese dish is much sweeter. Good job, good foresight. Overall, very impressive, for a nondescript stall. I'd be seen here more often. *the flow of customers just kept on coming to her. 1400H on a Monday. 9.5/10

The large intestines and salted vege are well prepared and the chili sauce is pretty good too. However I personally did not enjoy the braised pork rice as much as I thought I would but I feel that’s more of a personal taste. There were lots of others ordering it. Would be back to try her other dishes.

Definitely one of the better stalls for all things braised pork. This gem is a one lady show so do expect to wait abit though she is pretty efficient and quick. There will be a queue. The pigs trotter was perfectly cooked (really tender) and the tau pok is as good as any I have tried. The braised intestines is one of the best I have had. If u love kway chap, you will love this. The fish soup is really good as well. Definitely coming back
