Since my first visit here, I have always wanted to go again and I got the chance to visit this charming place again. The ambience is rather relaxing with experienced staff who will ask if you wished to let them show you how to make tea.
Usually, it's good to ask for their help since not everyone has a tea set at home and complete the art of making tea. We ordered Imperial Golden Cassia since it has a light taste and is suitable for those who dislike the strong bitter Chinese tea.
Refreshments included buns, toast, noodles and the meal set since it was near dinner time and we decided to settle it there. This place is also famous for its tea eggs. Although they are not suitable for vegetarians because of the stock used.
It was definitely a good time since 4pm on a weekday means you get to choose your table and stretch your legs when the other table is empty. We choose the third level since there were only 3 of us.
One thing to watch out for at some of the tables was the ceiling. Bending down is a must since you don't want to end up with a headache later on.
I was rather disappointed with the size of the burger since I had expected the usual burger buns. Other than that, the prices can be steep for the snacks.

If you're the sort who'd enjoy sipping tea from tiny cups in a relaxing environment away from the unceasing demands of a hectic work life, mayhap even engaging in a friendly game of Chinese chess with old friends... then 茶渊 aka Tea Chapter's the place for you.
I was first introduced to this joint back in my university days; our Buddhist Society would occasionally gather there at the end of various projects for a quiet afternoon of tea & reflections.
After depositing your footwear at the cupboards provided, you are given a choice of seatings; the 2nd story offers tables with an indentation below, such that you could comfortably sit in a normal position, whilst on the 3rd story it's just cushions on the floor.
The friendly staff will offer recommendations for their various Camellia Sinensis if asked (铁观音, anyone?), & gently guide you step-by-step through the proper method of brewing, whiffing, & sipping your tea once it arrives.
There's a wide variety of snacks available, my favourite of which would be the Ice Cream Puffs (brain freeze!). Their Japanese Crispy Chicken really hits the spot as well, but do note that these tasty tidbits could from time to time run out.
& as if that wasn't enough, they also stock all sorts of old school games that you can pick & choose from for a trip down memory lane; pick up sticks, five stones, animal chess, etc.
Games that only those born in the 1980s or earlier would recall, I suppose.
My only complaint? The prices are a bit stiff... but nothing good comes cheap, after all.
