As the woman who once ate her way through an arduous week-along Michelin food trail in Hong Kong, I simply knew I had to try the Singaporean-ized version of Tsui Wah!! Even though the setting is a lot more posh than what one would expect from a traditional cha chaan teng, it’s comforting to see the menu is pretty much the same, with their signature fare all available here.

The staples: Hot Milk Tea($4) & Condensed Milk ($4)! The first thing that strikes you is how the toast isn’t as instagrammable as the pics all over their adverts 😂 Nevertheless, with the condensed milk soaked up by the fluffy buns, each bite comes with a hint of sweetness that complements the savory butter. I wouldn’t have minded a lil’ more condensed milk, just for that extra sugar hit! 😋 The milk tea with its dominant tea essence was also more bitter than sweet - older folks who fear THE SUGAHS will no doubt enjoy sipping on a cup whilst watching the waiters bustle about!
