| - Are you looking for the flavour of a "Cha Chan Teng" in the Toronto area? Well, if you are, this place may have your answer. A "Cha Chan Teng" is a small place that serves not only tea, but small dishes at cheap prices. They are commonly found in Hong Kong. You can order a small dish, or you can have a decent morning or afternoon meal. It's a little similar to the "American diner", but significantly better in terms of tastiness.
I came here on a very rainy afternoon with some interesting people and got some "Gong Sik Nai Cha", also known as the Hong Kong style milk tea that is fairly popular. You can get a small cup for less than $2 here. I took some sips, and I really enjoyed the warm richness of the tea. The creaminess was almost perfect, and the flavour was almost the ideal flavour on how I wanted my warm milk tea to be. It is an excellent choice if you are feeling a little chilly and the temperature outside is starting to be less than 20 degrees Celsius.
I have not had the food here, but if I come back here again, it will definitely be for the food. The menu is similar to a "Cha Chan Teng" (they offer macaroni soup) but they also serve doughnuts. Atmosphere is very casual, this is a place to just sit for a brief while to drink some tea or get a quick bite to eat
Overall, I really enjoyed the tea here, and I really hope to get a taste of the food that this place can serve. This place is a pretty good choice if you need your morning or afternoon milk tea. If I was living and working near a place like this, I would come here fairly frequently for my morning tea.
