Overview

You know, if you’re ever wandering around Lavender Street in Singapore, you might stumble upon Cha Chaan Teng, and trust me, it’s not just any old joint. This place is like a time capsule, transporting you straight to the cozy-crazy vibe of Hong Kong’s cha chaan tengs. Seriously, you walk in, and it’s like you’ve stepped onto a Wong Kar Wai film set—complete with flickering neon lights and some retro Canto tunes wafting through the air.

Now, the food? It’s a delightful mashup of classic Hong Kong flavors with a modern twist. I’m talking about mouth-watering concoctions like the savory Wonton Noodles and the crispy Sai Do Si that keeps you reaching for more. And let’s not forget those addictive truffle fries! Heaven on a plate if you ask me. Sounds appealing, right?

As for drinks, you’ll want to dive into their cocktail offerings. They’ve got everything from the intriguing Ovaltine and Chrysanthemum cocktail to a flavorful take on smoked margaritas. Maybe pop in for their “happy hour,” and savor the creative flair they bring—some locals swear by it!

A couple of local brands also partner here, adding their unique touches. Bodough brings coffee and bakes into the mix, and Cult Sliders dishes out mouthwatering modern sliders. Seriously, these guys know how to pair food with a chill vibe.

Now, here’s the kicker: the atmosphere. It’s cozy yet vibrant, perfect for a night out with friends or even a casual date. And if you’re looking for a spot that’s LGBTQ+ friendly and welcoming, this is it!

But hey, keep in mind, they got some quirks. The service may not always be perfect, and prices can be a tad on the higher side, but the experience? That nostalgic charm makes it all worthwhile.

So, if you’re up for a culinary adventure that takes you back in time while keeping things modern, Cha Chaan Teng could just hit the spot. You might wanna make a reservation first, though—this hidden gem seems to have a following!
