I was introduced to this restaurant by a coursemate of mine but always didn't have the chance to dine in due to unforeseen circumstances. Finally, when the 8 of us had a gathering, we all decided to have our dinner here. It's better to come in larger groups so you have the options of ordering dishes instead of
a la carte meals.
As the name of restaurant would have implied, dishes here are infused with tea, even the rice.
绿茶饭 Green tea rice
玫瑰茶汤芫菜
Rose tea soup with chinese spinach
Tea used: 玫瑰花茶 Rose tea
Definitely very unique. The smell of roses have made this soup more appetizing.
芝士香橙茶虾
Sauteed prawn with orange and cheese with dressing in tea
Tea used: 绿茶龙井 Long jing green tea
I thought this was quite normal. Prawns were rather small (I thought they would be bigger for the price we paid for it) and the orange-y taste was quite bland.
龙井金瓜烩豆腐
Braised beancurd and golden pumpkin in tea sauce
Tea used: 绿茶龙井 Long jing green tea
My favourite! Sweetness of pumpkin complimented well with the beancurds which were tasteless.
姜茸蒸鱼片
Steamed slice fish with mashed ginger in tea sauce
Tea used: 茉莉香片 Jasmine Tea
Too much of ginger here that I could only tell that the fish slices were spicy. However, it did stimulate my senses to be better!
乌龙肉骨茶 (鸡肉)
Oolong bak kut teh
Tea used: 冻顶乌龙 Dong ding oolong
This is not your ordinary BKT. It was cooked with chicken instead of pork and the broth smelled and tasted like tea. The taste was not as flavourful as of those BKT broths you can find in other places such as Yip Yong.
Desserts!
Clockwise: 茉莉茶冻 Cold winter jelly, 绿茶布丁 Summer green pudding, 焦糖布丁 Spring romance pudding, 乌龙茶冻 Autumn tea jelly.
All of these puddings were really refreshing! Don't worry though, they weren't really sweet. I could finish all four on my own
