Tong Shui Cafe

Located in Liang Seah Street, this Hong Kong mirrored Cha Chan Teng, as it is commonly known, is dressed in its fine pink and green. The oldish look of the furniture gives unique flavor to the shop. Accompanied with the modern paintwork, the place is interesting to dine in. Another self-ordering place this is, where you place your orders by writing the numbers of the food on the food ticket. Didn't really try much there, since it was close to midnight and I was saving space for dessert at Ah Chew's. The food is cheap, as compared to other Cha Chan Tengs in Singapore. Of course, if you go to JB, 'cheap' is totally brought to another level. The famous nissin noodles ($3.88) have a light taste to them, unlike the ones that you cook at home with lots of msg. So yes, it is worth paying to have your instant noodles cooked by Tong Shui Cafe. Topped with a sunny side-up, greens and luncheon meat, it is sure to leave u satisfied. I tried the chee cheong fun with egg as well ($2.88). Nothing special, really. What is really worth mentioning and what I will label as a "if you dont try you will regret" specialty is their thick toast with peanut butter and condensed milk ($2.88). The thick piece of bread is so well-toasted, crispy on the outside. When you cut into it, the peanut butter oozes out. Matched with the sweetness of the condensed milk, I tell you, it's heaven. Every bite you take leaves you silent for 30secs or so, not only cuz its so good, but also cuz the stickiness of the generous gooey peanut butter prevents you from talking. GOOD STUFF. everyone shld really try this. No regrets, coming from me at least.
