1. 天津茶室 Restoran Thean Chun

Restoran Thean Chun is just opposite Mistress Lane, and it is a tea room where many tourists come to eat. The signature here is chicken noodle and stewed egg. Chicken Shredded Sand Hor Fun is another unpretentious but delicious dish. The broth stewed with chicken bones and shrimp shells is very sweet, and the Sha Hor Fun is creamy and smooth.

Stewed eggs are better than eating desserts. The slight fishy smell of eggs and the sweetness of caramel are well balanced, and the feeling of popping in your mouth is super happy!
