Long Jiang Chinos ('LJC') is a Chinese restaurant established by Long Jiang Culinary, an F&B group that has years of experience in the culinary industry. They are the main curator of F&B delights in Singapore Turf Club.
Located in quaint and serene ORTO in Yishun, LJC provides a unique dining experience in the North part of Singapore. It has an alfresco dining concept and most of the dining area faces the lake. The huge outdoor air circulator and cooling system will ensure you still dine in comfort during those hot and stuffy days. It is a good dining destination, within a close distance to Yishun heartland that re-live the Kampung spirit.

We kick start the tasting with Baby Squid ($14). A favourite entrée in seafood restaurants in Singapore. The little squid is deep fried till crispy and tossed with the sweet sauce that normally made from honey, light soy sauce, and dark soy sauce. It is delicious and you can't stop munching it.

Fish Skin with Salted Egg Yolk ($8.80) and Crispy Fried Har Chou ($12 for 8 pcs). It is actually two separate dishes, the kitchen put them together to make it look big. The fish skin is crispy topped with fluffy powdery salted egg yolk. The Har Chou is crisp with solid and generous fillings. I find both of this dishes actually complement each other nicely.

Seafood Hotpot ($128 good for 4 to 5 pax). The signature dish of LJC. The whole Soon Hock fish is simmered on a bed of cabbage with other live seafood such as prawns, clams, and squid with chicken stock.

Stir Fried Fine Beans & Crispy Shredded Yam in Guangzhou Style ($14). Crunchy fine beans topped with crisp shredded yam. LJC added lap cheong into this dish to perk up the taste and texture at the same time.

Cheesy Crab Bee Hoon with Crab Roe ($44.80). This dish uses 2 female mud crabs, similar to the Indonesian version of mud crabs. The broth is a fusion between a robust stock with creaminess from the cheese. The bee hoon did well to soaks up the full flavour of this dish while maintaining its texture. The crabs are sweet and love the roe in the crab shell.

Dessert was Yam Paste with Ginkgo Nuts ($12 - small). We were stuffed almost to the brim, so we decided to go for a small version of this dessert. The yam paste is soft, smooth but you can still taste the fiber from the yam, which is good. The pumpkin and ginkgo give this dish a contrasting flavour and texture. Definitely one of the better Orh Nee I ever tried.

Overall, Long Jiang Chinos offer a unique dining experience with Kampong atmosphere. The seafood are fresh, the price is reasonable and it tasted great as well. Definitely, a must try place in Yishun. Cheers!!
