15 Best Stalls To Visit At Twilight: Flea & Feast – Indoor Bazaar With All-S’porean Food, Clothes And Crafts
Did you hear? The highly anticipated Twilight: Flea and Feast is back again for it’s third edition! If you missed out on #TWILIGHT18 earlier on in February, don’t fret. From 3 – 5 August, make your way down to the Suntec Convention & Exhibition Centre for a day of browsing through dozens of flea stalls, free movie screenings and of course, sinking your teeth in tasty eats!
This indoor bazaar houses over 100 stalls selling popular street food, clothes, accessories and handmade crafts. This time round, you guys are in for a real treat as you’ll find more than 50 F&B vendors – you probably won’t know where to start!
For the first time since its inception, all vendors showcased at the event will be local. Which is why this year’s edition of TWILIGHT will be themed “Proudly Local” so both vendors and visitors get to celebrate everything we love and remember about Singapore.
To help you out with your upcoming shopping and gastronomic adventure, we’ve listed out some of our favourite makan and shopping vendors that you HAVE to visit!
What To Makan
1. Saiko
Think of Saiko as the elevated version of your typical pasar malam takoyaki joint!
Serving up Japanese street food realness, Saiko serves takoyaki in sizeable portions with full bite-sized fillings. You can choose from 3 different fillings – octopus, chicken and braised mushrooms. You also have the option of mixing 2 different fillings in one serving.
[caption id="attachment_36276" align="aligncenter" width="3807"]

Other selections include Classic, Dashi (takoyaki with dashi broth, bonito flakes and scallions) and Miso (takoyaki with miso butter and rice krispies). Top it all off with a perfectly cooked onsen egg for just an additional $2!
We promise you that the takoyaki from Saiko won’t disappoint!
2. Burgernomics
Burgernomics got everyone raving over them when they first opened at Pasir Ris Central Hawker Centre. They aim to differentiate themselves by keeping their burgers honest and simple, but with a distinctive Asian twist.
[caption id="attachment_36277" align="aligncenter" width="1240"]
Image Credit: @burgernomics_sg[/caption]
This time round, you get to satisfy your burger cravings without having to travel all the way down to Pasir Ris!
We heard that their burgers are really popular at events so head down early to avoid the long queues.
3. Inariku
If you eat, sleep and breathe all things Japanese, then you’re going to love this one.
Trained at the Tokyo Sushi Academy to fortify her passion for Japanese cooking, you can expect her highly raved lobster inari which comes in small sets of 4, ramen, unagi bento and more!
[caption id="attachment_36278" align="aligncenter" width="1680"]
Image Credit: @ria897[/caption]
We recommend getting her lobster inari which is a combination of lobster and squid salad which sits atop a bed of sushi rice. All these premium ingredients are nestled within some Inariage aka Aburaage (the sweet beancurd pouch) and finished off with some Japanese mayonnaise.
4. O’Braim
O’Braim entered the pasar malam circuit around 2016 selling goreng pisang (banana fritters) with a modern twist.
They sell banana fritters in different flavours, including chocolate and cheese with condensed milk, while using a goreng pisang recipe passed down from their grandmother.
[caption id="attachment_36279" align="aligncenter" width="1254"]
Image Credit: @redroselips[/caption]
You’ll always find long queues at their stall which also means “confirm plus chop good”.
5. Ikan1986
A must have at every BBQ, their freshly grilled otah is one of the best we’ve had at any pop-up events!
Based on a traditional family recipe dating back to 1986, their staple menu item has fed scores of people ever since.
[caption id="attachment_36280" align="aligncenter" width="1886"]
Image Credit: @ikan1986[/caption]
Made with fresh mackerel and a select number of equally fresh herbs and spices, their freshly grilled otah remains a delightful way to please the palate and tummy; either as an afternoon snack or part of a meal.
6. Egg Stop
Opening early August 2018 at Paya Lebar Square, you’ll get to try their sandwiches first at Twilight Flea & Feast.
Although we don’t know much about them yet, their sandwiches look like the perfect mid-afternoon snack.
[caption id="attachment_36281" align="aligncenter" width="1256"]
Image Credit: @eggstopsg[/caption]
Just look at all that filling spilling out of their sandwich. We don’t know about you, but we’re definitely excited to try this one out!
7. Katoshka
Katoshka needs no introduction from us. They’re seen at almost every bazaar/pop-up events that they’re pretty much a household name by now.
They go by a very simple concept: good ol’ fries served in cups laden in different sauces, from special cheese, sour ranch, chilli beef and sambal cheese.
[caption id="attachment_36282" align="aligncenter" width="1254"]
Image Credit: @thekatoshka[/caption]
If you love their fries as much as we do, then go get yourself a cup (or two) at Twilight!
8. Naughty Boyz
Known for their spicy mac and cheese, this is the perfect meal for sharing.
[caption id="attachment_36283" align="aligncenter" width="1786"]
Image Credit: @naughtyboyz_[/caption]
Their mac and cheese is bound to be a gooey delight. I mean, who doesn’t like cheese?
9. BOO:EH
BOO:EH serves up inspired butterbeer like the ones you see in Harry Potter World. This homemade brew consists of 2 parts – soothing liquid gold and dreamy butterscotch foam.
[caption id="attachment_36284" align="aligncenter" width="1032"]
Image Credit: @boo.eh[/caption]
The flavour is so rejuvenating and unique that it transports you to a magical world at the first sip.

8 Hawker Food Haunts That Are Tried, Tasted, And Recommended By True Blue S’poreans
Sometimes, with so many food options available in Singapore, I tend to forget what my favourite food is. It’s Mee Hoon Kueh.
Everyone has like, 3 favourites so it’s really hard to choose one. But here are some favourites that I’ve managed to source from my friends, with their favourite place to go for that particular dish.
Here we go.
Bak Chor Mee
1. Meng Kitchen
Meng Kitchen has been around since 1946, serving up bowls of fishball noodles and mushroom minced pork noodle (bak chor mee).
[caption id="attachment_36231" align="aligncenter" width="3968"]
Image Credit: yumyumformytumtum[/caption]
They’re better known for their Bak Chor Mee. For just $4, you get a bowl of minced pork, meatball, springy mee pok coated with chilli, vinegar, and garnished with crispy pork lard.
[caption id="attachment_36230" align="aligncenter" width="645"]

Meng Kitchen used to be 24 hours though now they close from 5am. It still remains a popular supper spot for many.
Meng Kitchen
Address: 246B Upper Thomson Road, Thomson Garden Estate, Singapore 574370
Opening Hours: Daily: 9am – 5am
Contact no.: 6455 4890
Fish Soup
2. Blanco Court Fish Soup
Blanco Court Fried Fish Soup is one of the old greats that used to reside in the now-demolished Blanco Court Food Centre.
The broth here is flavourful though some find the soup too salty.
The fried fish is crispy and chunky and the broth is served with plenty of deep fried egg batter.
[caption id="attachment_32157" align="aligncenter" width="640"]
Image Credit: Burpple User Justin Teo[/caption]
They also use spinach in their soup (we LOVE spinach), which imparts a different texture and taste to the dish compared to the more bitter chye sim variants.
They’ve moved to a new standalone shophouse at Beach Road and they added other dishes such as Black Bean Fish Head with Bittergourd, Prawn Rolls and Chicken Wings besides their signature Fried Fish Soup.
Blanco Court Fried Fish Soup
Address: 325 Beach Road, Singapore, 199559
Opening Hours: Mon – Sat: 10am – 7.30pm
Contact no.: 9151 2401
3. Yong Lai Fa Ji Shu Shi
Yong Lai Fa Ji Shu Shi looks like a run-of-the-mill fish soup stall, but the queues are always long – a clear indicator of good food.
[caption id="attachment_36238" align="aligncenter" width="2048"]
Image Credit: Philip Lim[/caption]
The fish is always freshly picked every morning by the stall owner, and each bowl of fish soup is cooked only upon order.
For $4, you get a no-frills bowl of fresh sliced fish soup with lettuce, seaweed and white tofu. Add on 50 cents for a bowl of rice to go with your soup for a more substantial meal.

Yong Lai Fa Ji Shu Shi
Address: Circuit Road Food Centre #01-66, 79A Circuit Road, Singapore 370079
Opening Hours: Fri – Wed: 12pm – 8pm, Thu: Closed
Ban Mian
4. Qiu Lian Ban Mee
Qiu Lian Ban Mian first started in Bishan and has since expanded, with multiple outlets all over the island.
They’re known for their Ban Mian ($4.50), I mean it’s in the name after all.
If you love your Ban Mian, this is one that you need try. There’s really nothing much to say about this except that it’s really good Ban Mian.
The ingredients are pretty standard – egg, minced pork, vegetables, and their handmade ban mian in the signature broth.
[caption id="attachment_36246" align="aligncenter" width="645"]

You can find the full list of Qiu Lian Ban Mian below.

5. Yumen Hut
Yumen Hut is the only place I know of that sells halal Ban Mian and Mee Hoon Kueh.
[caption id="attachment_36247" align="aligncenter" width="960"]
Image Credit: Susan Wong[/caption]
Instead of pork, they use chicken. Which seems odd, but it works, surprisingly.
[caption id="attachment_36248" align="aligncenter" width="720"]
Image Credit: Yumen Hut[/caption]
Apart from their Ban Mian and Mee Hoon Kueh, other bestsellers include their unique noodles made with different vegetables – pumpkin noodles, spinach noodles, and carrot noodles.
Yumen Hut And Mee Hoon Kueh should ALWAYS be hand-pulled. There’s just something about the texture that makes it that much better than the flat, uniform slices favoured by generic Mee Hoon Kueh stalls these days. If you’re not a fan of Mee Hoon Kueh, the stall also has Pork Porridge and Koka Noodles available. Ci Yuan Community Club Hawker Centre Mee Hoon Kueh 7. Katong Shopping Centre Delicious Boneless Chicken Rice Every time Katong Shopping Centre is mentioned, I hear about this chicken rice stall. And as someone who shuns chicken rice because bone-in chicken is too much of a hassle for my liking, boneless chicken rice is a God-send. And that’s not all, their boneless chicken rice comes with complimentary soup and free-flow achar. One thing to note is that the soup they serve is not your generic MSG water – they actually cook proper soups to go with their chicken rice. After all, good chicken rice should not overlook any aspect of the meal. Delicious Boneless Chicken Rice 8. Tong Fong Fatt Boneless Chicken Rice Tong Fong Fatt Boneless Chicken Rice is probably the ONLY chicken rice brand that’s primarily non-halal, but has a halal outlet at Bedok. Good guy Tong Fong Fatt. For $4.50, you get a plate of traditional Hainanese boneless chicken rice. The chicken is generously doused in their soya sauce, so you can be guaranteed that it’s not bland. The chilli sauce still has a spicy kick without being too overpowering. If you’re looking for another chicken rice spot to try, go for this. Tong Fong Fatt Boneless Chicken Rice 9. Hougang Fried Oyster Oyster Omelette, or Orh Luah, is a dish that I usually avoid because I don’t understand what compels people to eat something as slimy as oysters. Hougang Fried Oyster has been around for over 25 years, serving plate after plate of fried oyster omelette. For $4, you get a crispy yet fluffy omelette cooked in lard with 4 oysters, fish sauce and sambal chilli. There’s also a $5 option which gives you 6 oysters. The chilli here is homemade using fresh chilli, pork lard, and dried shrimp. Don’t underestimate this potent concoction because it packs a really strong punch. Hougang Fried Oyster 10. Ananda Bhavan “Ananda Bhavan has the BEST Masala Thosai in Singapore”, said my overenthusiastic friend. And for good reason too. It’s the most popular South Indian recipe and Ananda Bhavan does it well. Simple plain thosai is served with a side of mashed potatoes. No frills and extremely comforting. If you’re craving for a prata, I suggest you give Masala Thosai a try instead. It might (will) become your new favourite. Ananda Bhavan So there you have it. The food that Singaporeans cannot live without, and the best places for each dish. We’ll keep expanding this list as we go on. Do you have any you’d like to recommend? Let us know in the comments!

If You Love The Beef Cubes At The Geylang Bazaar – They’re Opening A Store In Tampines Soon!
Tampines residents sure are spoilt for choice, with so many new eateries opening in Century Square.
First there was Seoul in a Sandwich, then Two Hana, and now Beef Bro will also be opening an outlet there on 5 August 2018!
If you were at the Geylang Serai Bazaar this year, you’ll probably recognise Beef Bro.
They were the newcomers at the annual Geylang Serai bazaar this year and generated long queues.
Beef, Bro
Opened by Mediacorp actor Danial Ashriq, Beef Bro made their debut at the Geylang Serai Bazaar this year and drew crowds with up to an hour and a half of waiting time.
[caption id="attachment_36199" align="aligncenter" width="768"]
Image Credit: Beef Bro SG[/caption]
What they’re known for is, of course, beef. Specifically, flame-grilled beef cubes, like the ones you find in Taiwan.
[caption id="attachment_36201" align="aligncenter" width="1080"]
Image Credit: Beef Bro SG[/caption]
[caption id="attachment_36202" align="aligncenter" width="1080"]
Image Credit: Beef Bro SG[/caption]
Each order of beef cubes is seared and cooked with a blow torch upon order and comes with a selection of toppings such as Mentaiko, Cheese, Garlic Chilli, Barbecue Sauce, and even their signature Sambal Belacan!
[caption id="attachment_36200" align="aligncenter" width="1080"]
Image Credit: Beef Bro SG[/caption]
Using a blow torch to cook beef cubes is not a new concept to Singaporeans. There’s Huoyanshaiziniu that opened in 313 Somerset earlier in January this year, who brought the concept of blow-torched beef cubes from Taiwan to Singapore.
The difference here is that Beef Bro is Muslim-owned and they use 100% halal ingredients. They’re currently working towards the MUIS Halal certification so our Muslim friends can rest assured that what they’re eating is Halal.
Their first outlet at Century Square will serve up their signature blow torch beef cubes as well as an expanded menu with bento sets.
For those of you who don’t eat beef, they also have flame-grilled seafood options too!
[caption id="attachment_36203" align="aligncenter" width="1080"]
Image Credit: Beef Bro SG[/caption]
[caption id="attachment_36204" align="aligncenter" width="768"]
Image Credit: Beef Bro SG[/caption]
The popular Mentaiko Beef Cubes will go for $14.90, while the Chicken Cubes and Mentaiko Scallops go for $5.90 and $11.90 respectively.
Bento sets go for $8 to $13, with an option to add mozzarella cheese for an extra $2.
[caption id="attachment_36205" align="aligncenter" width="1080"]
Image Credit: Beef Bro SG[/caption]
You’ll be able to choose your preferred doneness for the beef cubes. Though if you order it well done, then maybe you shouldn’t go for the beef. Just saying.
Beef Bro opens at Century Square on 5 August 2018 and the first 200 customers will get FREE beef cubes. Good things must share so don’t say we neh say.

We All Love Laksa, Curry And NESTUM, So Starbucks Turned Them Into Pies And Cakes
Starbucks has always been known as the boujee cousin of our local kopitiams.
However, people still flock to them for their beautiful, whipped cream-topped drinks, or a cold brew. Either way, Starbucks is no stranger to Singaporeans.
This National Day period, Starbucks pays tribute to the Lion City with a range of desserts with local flavours.
5 Stars For Starbucks
From savoury to sweets, Starbucks has got you covered with their local delights.
For something with a spicy kick, go for the “Mai Hum” Chicken Laksa Pie and the “Hiam Ah” Devil’s Curry Pie.
As its name suggests, the “Mai Hum” Chicken Laksa Pie does NOT come with clams. The “Hiam Ah” Devil’s Curry Pie consists of egg, chicken sausage, and potato cooked in curry.

[caption id="attachment_36191" align="aligncenter" width="1568"]

For the chocolate lovers, the “Orh Orh” KIT KAT® Chocolate Cake actually comes with a stick of KIT KAT® buried on top of each slice of cake.
[caption id="attachment_36192" align="aligncenter" width="1875"]
Image Credit: Starbucks Singapore[/caption]
Of course, KIT KAT® isn’t exactly a Singaporean flavour. But this next one definitely is.
This is the “Sedap Lah” Pandan Gula Melaka Cake. Gula melaka cream sandwiched between layers of pandan-infused sponge cake, and topped with coconut flakes.
[caption id="attachment_36193" align="aligncenter" width="1850"]
Image Credit: Starbucks Singapore[/caption]
The last one is my favourite – the “Tok Kong” NESTUM® Cake.
NESTUM® is such a nostalgic flavour. My mother used to make it for me for breakfast when I was younger. I loved it then, and I still love it now.
[caption id="attachment_36194" align="aligncenter" width="1870"]
Image Credit: Starbucks Singapore[/caption]
This “Tok Kong” NESTUM® Cake comes with creamy NESTUM® sandwiched between layers of almond sponge cake, and garnished generously with a speculoos crumble. Mmm…..
Seen anything that you’d like to try? You better hurry down to your nearest Starbucks to get it before it runs out!

We Can’t Believe It’s Not Prata – Jay Chou’s Favourite Scallion Pancake Sandwiches Are Now In S’pore
Singaporeans are spoilt when it comes to the variety of food that’s available.
There’s at least one new franchise opening an outlet in Singapore every month. Recently, Isaac Toast opened in Plaza Singapura’s basement.
Now, Liang Sandwich Bar from China has opened its first outlet in Singapore at Vivocity!
Scallion Pancake Sandwiches
The sandwiches at Liang Sandwich Bar aren’t made with bread. What’s used instead, are scallion pancakes that come with fillings such as chicken, shredded lettuce, egg crepe, and sauce.
[caption id="attachment_36180" align="aligncenter" width="1440"]
Image Credit: Liang Sandwich Bar[/caption]
Endorsed by iconic Taiwanese singer-songwriter, Jay Chou, Liang Sandwich Bar has over 12,000 outlets across 300+ cities such as Mainland China, Hong Kong, Japan, United States of America, Canada, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, and now Singapore!
If you’ve tried and love scallion pancakes, you’ll love this. Scallion pancakes are much more fragrant than toasts and already hold plenty of flavour on its own.
[caption id="attachment_36182" align="aligncenter" width="960"]
Image Credit: Liang Sandwich Bar HQ[/caption]
Throw in traditional sandwich ingredients and you have a Liang scallion pancake sandwich.
There are 9 different scallion pancake sandwiches on the menu for you choose from.

[caption id="attachment_36179" align="aligncenter" width="1080"]
Image Credit: Liang Sandwich Bar[/caption]
The Chicken Bolognese Sandwich ($5.50) and the Liang Chicken Sandwich ($5.90) are both recommended by Jay Chou.
The Liang Chicken Sandwich comes with savoury smoked chicken, shredded lettuce, egg crepe, and a sauce of your choice.

You can also choose the type of sauce you’d like to have in your sandwich. The recommended sauce is definitely the Liang’s Sauce that’s made from a special secret recipe.
Recently, Food League SG’s Zermatt Neo paid them a visit and scarfed 10 of the scallion pancake sandwiches.
https://www.facebook.com/LiangsandwichSG/videos/1053621838150972/
If you’re looking to get your hands on one of Liang’s scallion pancake sandwiches, better expect to queue and wait for a bit because each one is prepared upon order.

Slurp 11 Different Ramen While Enjoying J-Pop And An Eating Competition This Weekend
Whenever I’m having a bad day, one of the few things I find comfort in, is a hot bowl of ramen.
Singapore is no stranger to ramen establishments, with many dotting the island, serving up bowls of comforting noodle soup.
This weekend, Singapore’s largest and only ramen event, Ramen Revolution returns for its 2nd edition!
The Revolution Returns
This year’s Ramen Revolution will be bigger and better than last year’s, with an extensive event lineup spanning the weekend, taking place at Resorts World Sentosa, The Forum B1!

Not Your Average Sweet Treats – The M Plot’s Macarons Come In Flavours Like Salted Egg X Curry
What’s there not to love about macarons?
You might remember the snaking queue at Ladurée when they first opened in Singapore. Suddenly, almost every bakery stocked macarons. The two light and crisp cookie shells sandwiching jam or buttercream filling – is the ultimate indulgence for dessert lovers.
We recently came across The M Plot which offers macarons that are handcrafted with a unique flavour selection, ranging from Classic Dark Chocolate to their signature – Salted Egg Yolk x Curry, which was inspired by the Singaporean all-time favourite dish “salted egg yolk prawn”.

For Your Sweet Tooth
Prior to starting his business, Ryan Yong, co-founder of The M Plot was a former Senior Quantity Surveyor in the construction industry.
Despite his initial lack of knowledge in the F&B industry, he spent years learning how to perfect the texture and flavour of his macarons. “I did not go to culinary school, it was self-taught. I had done a lot of research on how to make macarons,” he added.
4 years ago while on a long break from his former job, he took a trip to Paris to visit his sister and immediately fell in love with French desserts. He was intrigued by the flavours, textures and how each dessert was eye-catching and delicious. Ever since that trip, Ryan decided to put all of his time into making macarons.
One of their iconic signature flavours would definitely be the Salted Egg Yolk x Curry macaron. While most Singaporeans would be more familiar with the sweet macarons, we were pleasantly surprised when we first tried the Salted Egg Yolk x Curry flavour.

“The Salted Egg Yolk x Curry was inspired by a local all-time favourite dish, “salted egg yolk prawn”, it took us 3 months in order to achieve the right ratio and flavour layering!” he exclaimed.
With just one bite, you will be delighted with a mouthful of salty creamy egg yolk and curry spice flavours. It’s truly a rollercoaster ride for your tastebuds.
One of their best selling flavours would be the Lychee x White Chocolate. So if you’re not as adventurous and looking for something on the sweeter side then this is the perfect choice for you.
Ryan also mentioned that his personal favourite flavour would be the Ginger x Chocolate. The chocolate ganache is infused with blended ginger and a slice of candied ginger in the middle of the macaron which elevates the overall taste of the dessert.

Their macarons are also 100% handmade and natural – they use only natural extracts like fruit purée to get the colour and flavouring, so they can only produce limited quantities each day.
Since their first debut at Artbox 2017, they see more returning customers and are starting to take on more events. They have taken on events such as Winter Wonderland at Gardens By The Bay and a pop-up at Orchard Central back in August.
The M Plot does their macarons right. They’ve got everything from texture to the flavour nailed down and not only are they Instagram aesthetic worthy, they taste pretty damn good too.

Popeyes Goes Local With Their Limited Edition Fried Mantou Sliders With Chilli Soft Shell Crab
In another attempt to capitalise on Singapore’s upcoming birthday, another fast food chain has jumped on bandwagon.
Introducing Popeyes‘ new Chic & Crab Mantou!

Fried Mantou Sliders With Chilli…Crab?
Available from now till 3 September 2018, the Chic & Crab Mantou will be available at all Popeyes outlets islandwide.
For just $9.90 for a set meal, you’ll get 2 fried mantou sliders with crisp, battered soft shell crab in one, and Popeyes’ signature fried chicken in the other, a side, and a regular drink.
[caption id="attachment_36141" align="aligncenter" width="1200"]

Both mantou sliders are topped with Popeyes’ special chilli sauce for a spicy kick.
However it doesn’t seem to be chilli crab sauce, so we’re skeptical. Though to be fair, the fried mantou is a nice touch.
Props to Popeyes for coming up with a locally-inspired menu item that’s relatively safe. Actual chilli crab sauce would be good though.
Or maybe chicken tenders with chilli crab dipping sauce? Just a thought.
Will you be giving the Chic & Crab Mantou a try?

Taiwan F&B Chain ‘Ten Ren Tea’ Brings Their Popular Bubble Tea To Singapore
If you’re as done as we are regarding Durian and Nasi Lemak-flavoured stuff, it’s about time we had something more….refreshing.
And this news could not have come at a better time.
Ten Ren Tea will be opening their very first Singapore outlet this Saturday, 28 July 2018, at Chinatown Point!
Leading Taiwanese Bubble Tea Brand
For those of you who are unfamiliar, Ten Ren Tea was established in 1953 and is THE leading tea retailer in Taiwan.
[caption id="attachment_36062" align="aligncenter" width="1080"]

That’s not all, they have over 2000 outlets in Australia, Japan, Canada, Malaysia, and North America.
If you don’t believe me, they’ve pasted their credentials all over the boards in Chinatown Point.
https://www.facebook.com/358984241283046/photos/a.371147290066741.1073741828.358984241283046/405030303345106/?type=3&theater
In China, they’re also known as Ten Fu, a subsidiary of Ten Ren Tea.
The Chinatown Point outlet will have a seating area that can accommodate up to 50 people.
While the menu isn’t revealed at the moment, the global outlets of Ten Ren Tea have been known to serve classic Taiwanese food such as beef noodles, pork cutlet rice, and even desserts like waffles and toasts.

Some of you might be skeptical as to Ten Ren Tea’s decision to serve food too, after all isn’t this a brand for TEA? Don’t worry, their food doesn’t come at the expense of the quality of their tea.

I personally, don’t doubt the standard of their tea. After all, my grandmother only buys her tea from Ten Fu Tea in China.
Ten Ren Tea will be having a “Buy 1 Get 1 Free” promotion on their first 2 opening days and the first 150 customers will receive a goody bag with products worth over $50.
