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:
2. French Toast, $6.50
What your favourite brunch spot can do, Hong Kong cafes can probably do better.
Tai Cheong Bakery’s French Toast features slightly sweet white bread coated in an egg wash before being pan-fried till golden brown, resulting in its fluffy yet crisp texture.
We recommend enjoying each mouthful with a bit of salted butter and a drizzle of maple syrup, or their homemade dulce de leche.
