  • Toast with Condensed Milk

    Ordered the toast with condensed milk, and Hong Kong style tea. Realised I don’t enjoy sugar as much as I did a few years back. However it was as good as I imagine eating in Singapore or Hong Kong or Malaysia.

Before you head over

Practical advice on finding the counter, avoiding peak queues, and ordering meal deals

  • Find the stall on Level 2

    Head to Level 2 of Mandarin Centre rather than the ground floor. From the street, take two flights up past Level 1 to find the stall situated in the food court.

  • Opt for bundled set menus

    Look for weekday breakfast and lunch set menus that bundle dishes with a traditional hot or cold beverage for better overall value.

  • Plan around peak breakfast hours

    Expect peak crowds around 10:00 AM on weekdays and longer queues on weekends; order early or visit outside peak hours for faster service.
