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:
3. Three Coloured Silky Eggs with Rice, $9.90
Assuming you love eggs as much as we do, the Three Coloured Silky Eggs with Rice is a must-try.
The time-honoured Hong Kong dish is great for sharing, with its generous portion and rich flavours.
Diners can opt to have the silky smooth and barely set omelette topped with ingredients such as Roasted Pork & Prawns, Roasted Pork & Beef, Roasted Pork & Crispy Pork Belly and sprigs of blanched kailan.
Underneath it all is a mould of steamed rice, meant to mop up all that eggy goodness.
