Those familiar with Hong Kong chaa chan tengs (tea restaurants) know that part of their attraction lies in the bustling vibes, the cosy booth seats and the joys of tucking into fuss-free and comforting eats.
Here in Singapore, diners can experience a slice of that ambience at the newly opened Tai Cheong Bakery at Holland Village — sans elbowing strangers.
The brand’s first dine-in concept comes a year after the opening of its takeaway kiosk at Takashimaya, where long queues often form for their famed egg tarts.
At the newly opened chaa chan teng, diners can tuck into authentic Hong Kong-style eats from bolo buns to macaroni soups, alongside outlet-exclusives like the indulgent Durian and Cheese Tart!
Here are our top picks from the menu:
1. Three-Egg Macaroni Soup with Luncheon Meat, $8.50
If there’s one dish that could turn a bad day around, this would be it. Warm, hearty and filling all at once, the Three-Egg Macaroni Soup with Luncheon Meat is everything we want in a comfort meal.
Elbow macaroni is served in a moreish tomato and chicken broth, topped with crispy strips of luncheon meat ‘fries’ and three sunny-side-up eggs, no less.
