Enjoyed a specially arranged dinner function at the Tea Cafe which usually closes at 7pm. Home cooked food, cozy ambience, strong airconditioning, good company - not much else to ask for.

Food: specially catered food included a cream/mock crab dip with freshly cut carrots, rocket salad, sour plum drink (we had our own wine). mains were popiah all wrapped up, thai fried rice crackers with chicken cream topping, roast beef. Skipped the braised duck and mushroom-black fungus as I couldn't figure out what they were. Had a tasty clam and fish soup. Dessert was sweet potato in ginger soup. Food isn't outstanding but tasty.

Ambience: Set on the second level of a terrace shop house, it is well laid out with comfortable chairs and nooks and corners for smaller groups to get together and have a decent conversation, soft Corrinne May music in the background completes the picture. Aircon works well too.

Value: Reasonable.

Service: 4 staff on standby who are knowledgeable and helpful

 
Must Tries: Dips and popiah
