Hong Kong-style cafes or cha chaan teng appears to be rather popular in Singapore for its casual atmosphere, affordable prices, and fusion of Cantonese and Western cuisine.
However, reviews for many in Singapore have been pretty mixed so far. Friends Cafe HK 朋友冰室 at Springside Walk which is opened by a young couple, has done well enough to open a fuller-fledge café-restaurant at Neil Road. Branded as Friends Kitchen HK 朋友小厨, this is designed with nostalgic decor serving extensive Hong Kong café style food and dishes.
With the Cantonese songs playing in the background, there is that feel that may just transport you back to Hong Kong.
