Our destination today is Teakha, located on Tai Ping Shan Street (pretty much what we got in hand only). Equipped with google map, we are good to go.
Oh Lord, stairs…..and more stairs. Finally (after being like a tourist, asking help for directions, despite the fact that we are 100% locals), we reached Tai Ping Shan Street. It is right to call Teakha a hidden gem because it is TRULY well-hidden (Don’t be shy to ask for help!)

When you see the green teapot, congratulations, choosing what to order from menu is the next and only challenge ahead!

Decorated with flowers and wood, the cafe is warm and cozy. Definitely the place you would want to linger. There are not much seats left but we still manage to find one or two in no time.
We thought about having Masala Chai but gave up and decided to go for safer choice.
Green tea cheesecake, Keemun Rose Tea and Sea Salt Yin Yang. The lady gave us a square thing. It vibrates when food is ready.
There is a second entrance to the left where more seats are situated.

Apparently, the second floor is a lot quieter. Gentlemen in suits and ties are talking. I guess they now ditch doing the business talking in a fancy restaurant because the coziness of a small cafe adds confidence in negotiation? And a lady with headphones on is typing frantically. One thing I noticed: green tea cheesecake seems to be everyone’s favourite.

IT. VIBRATES.

The Yin Yang is like any other Yin Yang in Cha Chann Teng. What makes it different is the sea salt. It adds texture to it. Not bad but not impressively good.
The cheesecake is superb! Not hard like a New York Cheesecake. Not soft like a Japanese Cheesecake. It is in the middle and the balance is quite right. The taste of cheese slightly outweighs Matcha, but not too heavy. It is a delight to pair it with floral teas.

The Rose Tea took a bit longer but totally worth the waiting.
It is decorated with rose petals. drizzle with honey. Tea is hot enough. My throat is filled with aroma of rose. And it is not artificial at all! This sweet drink is recommended to all ladies. Simply irresistible.

My friends and I arrived at around 2.30 pm one sunny afternoon. It was initially not that crowded and we managed to find seats straight away (bear in mind that seating is quite limited here). I love the decor and styling of the cafe, which featured robin-egg blue walls throughout and lots of quirky and vintage-looking teapots and paintings. I especially loved the mason jar lights which hung across the room!We ordered a Roselle & Strawberry cheesecake to share. The portion was a bit small for the

We ordered a Roselle & Strawberry cheesecake to share. The portion was a bit small for the price but the cheesecake was delicious- I loved the fragrance of the yogurt combined with the fresh, tangy strawberries and the sweet yet sour taste of the roselle. The biscuit base tasted chocolatey which provided an interesting contrast to the filling.

I ordered a Sea Salt Yin Yang- a twist on the Hong Kong cha chan teng drink consisting of coffee blended with milk tea. The sea salt provided an interesting savoury touch to the drink and was very refreshing in the summer heat.

One of my friends ordered the Keemun Rose Tea- this took quite a long time to arrive at the table (approximately 15-20 minutes) and I took a sip of it. I enjoyed the frothy milk and the honey on top of the tea as well as the rosy fragrance of the tea itself. The tea was milky yet had a bitter aftertaste which I quite enjoyed. Although it was a little bit pricey it's not a drink that you can get anywhere else in Hong Kong so I think it's worth a try.

The place got really crowded after a while. It was so crowded that I felt like I was in a market rather than what was supposed to be a quiet, relaxing cafe. People who were ordering takeaways just stood around the already cramped room, talking loudly amongst themselves and blocking the entrance. Although there was extra room next door, customers were given buzzers notifying them when their orders were ready and would have to come back into the main seating area to collect their food- meaning that people kept coming in and out repeatedly and always left the door open.

Furthermore, people waiting for seats would also stay inside the cafe, hovering above people already seated. All of these factors combined meant that we couldn't truly relax in the atmosphere and left shortly after finishing our drinks and cake, as we felt that it would be inappropriate to keep sitting down when so many people were waiting.

All in all, I think that an experience at Tekaha would be much better if there was some form of crowd control- especially on weekends. The entire experience felt a little bit too rushed and chaotic compared to what I've experienced at other cafes. I'll probably be back to try one of their amazing-smelling brunches but will definitely try to come after summer when there are hopefully less people.
