Shan Cha

Cafes in Chinatown are a dime a dozen but Shan Cha is here to shake things up in Singapore with its handmade mountain oolong and black teas, Japanese sakes, and fresh pastries. In line with the soothing properties of tea, Shan Cha’s stylish wood-panelled interiors evoke a rustic feel which makes you feel close to nature. Tea drinkers will love the generous selection of leaves flown in from Taiwan, while those in need of a stiff drink will be able to choose from a wide range of Japanese and Taiwanese imports which includes names like Shirataki and Ka Va Lan. No matter the time of the day, feel at home at this Cross Street hotspot but don’t forget to book a table in advance.
