Heard about this place but never gets a chance to go until recently. It only opens till 7pm and does not open on sunday, thus it is a bit hard to arrange for working people.
From the address, I know it is the at seah street besides Raffles Hotel. The thing is I often walk pass the street but have never see a tea cafe there before. Where exactly is it?
Oh it is nicely tucked on the 2nd floor of a shop house, which is why I have missed it so many times.
The place gives a laidback & cosy feeling. The setting is simple yet elegant. There is not many seats, I guess the maximum capacity is around 20 people.
I ordered the Melon Tea ($12) and my sister ordered Lemongrass Tea ($12) & Grilled Fishstrip ($6).
When we first sat down, the waitress brought towels to clean our hands, a small cup of refreshing drink plus some chips. This was really a nice start.
The teas come in a set, with a small snacks each. I am a fan (not a crazy one, just ordinary fan) of lemongrass and found most lemongrass drinks rather ordinary. I must say this lemongrass tea is one of the better ones I tried before. I can smell and taste the lemongrass distinctly! Nice!
For my melon tea, the taste is great! I was not sure what to expected since I have never drank a melon tea before. I was glad to find my melon tea refreshing. Is much better than I expect. Also like the snack that comes with it. The snack tastes like hawthorn.
The total bill comes up to $31.90. The tea is on the costly side I have to say. The menu has tea eggs that cost $3 each (i think so, cannot remember exactly) and other items that I find expensive. However the tea tastes better than most other tea cafes I have been. And these days quite a number of tea cafes charge prices like this or even more expensive even though they have teas that taste rather normal.
I am already looking forward to going there again to try out the other teas in their menu. Just that it may be a headache for planning with their limited opening hours.
