Lantine is a newly opened Chinese-style café that seamlessly blends modern aesthetics with Song Dynasty-inspired elegance. Designed as a serene retreat in the heart of the city, it offers an immersive experience where tea and desserts become expressions of artistry and culture. The menu showcases traditional flavors with a contemporary touch, with highlights such as the Roasted Milk Tea—slow-roasted for a deep tea aroma with caramelized notes, balanced by velvety milk for a rich, smooth taste. Another standout is the Taro Mochi, featuring creamy taro paste wrapped in chewy mochi, creating a delicate contrast in texture and flavor.
Located along Rangoon Road, Lantine has been gaining attention for its visually striking neo-Chinese interiors, which blend minimalist design with intricate Chinese motifs. Beyond its refined ambiance, the café offers an array of thoughtfully crafted desserts. Signature options include the Strawberry Soufflé, a trio of soft, fluffy pancakes topped with whipped cream and fresh strawberries, and the Matcha Soufflé, a variation dusted with matcha powder and paired with red beans. These generously portioned soufflés are ideal for sharing, while the petite Taro Mochi presents a delightful bite-sized indulgence with chewy mochi, taro, and flavored pearls.
The beverage selection at Lantine is equally impressive, with standout offerings like the Taro Latte and the Goji Berry & Red Date Roasted Milk Tea, served in an eye-catching bubbling pot. Conveniently located just a four-minute walk from Farrer Park MRT Station, the café is easily accessible for those looking to explore the area. Nearby, visitors can also discover Yeast Side, known for its fresh sourdough pizzas and circle croissants, or Midnight Noodle Club, a late-night spot offering a vast selection of instant noodle flavours.
