Traditional Chinese teahouses aren’t exactly the IG-worthy cafés of our day, but Tea Chapter is a true relic. Not only is it the first pre-war shophouse to have been carefully restored in the late 80s but it’s also been visited by heavyweights and dignitaries alike: the Queen Elizabeth II and our own PM Lee Hsien Loong have stepped through these very doors. And what exceptional doors they are – hats off to URA for a conservation job well done – with a wealth of history and stories of yesteryear hiding behind.
