Chong Wen Ge Café 崇文阁 - Peranakan Café

Peranakan / temple/museum? theme

The concept & decor is very unique.

Food

Spicy type

Laksa
Look good but taste normal.

I prefer katong laksa, hub taste the best claypot laksa hence he claim this one not as good.

Meesiam 
Alotof ppl claim it the best  or authentic one.

No lime was given.

Personally feel it taste very normal too.

I prefer Toastbox version.

The prawn is big but it farm prawn according to my mum who is expert in tasting seafood.

Others  

Queh:
5pcs +2drinks set $10.50

Drink limit to traditional.

They claim homemake.

My mum can taste it overnight 1 @_@

All of us prefer Bagawan solo version

taste normal too but alotof people claim it very traditional & best taste.

Drink

Signature teh c

Gula melaka milk tea

My husband give a thumb up.

Personally dont like this style.

It taste like hongkong milk tea style so if u like this style this is very good

Coconut 

My mum comment they are using old coconut not sure old or young are good 

Children friendly ?

They do ve baby chair but all the main course are spicy
so do bring ur children food if u are planning to bring them here.

My comment:

Hopefully they can improve on their food.

Love the style & environment.

Great place for shooting
Another great place to sit down relax enjoy the signature teh c.

My disappointment :

Limited meal choices and no dessert like chendol.

All the meal are spicy.
That my personal review alotof people claim their meesiam is the best & got the taste of peranakan.
Do support this cafe as it is very unique & unusual in Singapore.

Chanel’s pop-up cafe from 8 April to 16 April 2017

Each person entitle to 1 complimentary drink- bubble tea/coffee/tea upon entry without any payment.

There are few bar tables & only 2 cafe tables.

1bar/beverage counter & 1 dessert counter.

Complimentary drink menu

Highly recommend : 
1) Beauty Bubble Tea features a refreshing burst of hydration, consisting of coconut water, lychee popping boba pearls, butterfly pea flower, lemon, and lime.

2) Coffee- mocha is nice 

When u enter the cafe, the coffee bean smell so nice 

The tart

Very good

I like both salted caramel & speculoos; .The staff recommend lemon but i dont like too sour.

Only 2 table in the cafe & only limit to those who take the dessert.

Limited to around 30mins.

We stay for a while and didnt really time.

So far i see the staff didnt chase & the customer will make a move after taking picture & finished their dessert.

Shopping 

Look for the correct person @_@

I be looking for someone to get the product got rejected a few times

Every staff seem busy

1)I check with the 1 staff standing at the door,she told me to look for the staff inside

2) I look for 1 staff walking around , she ask me to look for someone with name tag but all of them are engaged in makeover.

3)I try my luck with some1 engaged in makeover.She ask me to wait.

Personally feel I cant possible waiting for the whole makeover finish then can my stuff.They should have someone around to incharge of getting the product ro the customer.

I search high & low for a staff almost give up then my husband spot one staff.

She is quite nice after checking the nail colour is out of stock, she suggest another nail colour.I dont want to try nail colour again find the troublesome to remove & she is nice to test the nail colour on her colour nail.

I realise the nail colour stay in the nail very fast when I tried their nail colour.I too have problem getting someone to help me to remove the nail colour until I found a lady in black to help me.She dont have any name tag.I think she is someone of higher authority.She is quite nice to help me & give me advice about painting the nail.

My encounter :

1)Once you are in , u can stay as long as you like until close...since this is temporary , do make time for this.

2)Free manicure- long waiting list.If you have the time ,can wait...the colour available are the preview ones.There is one nail colour already out of stock on that day I went.

3)Do queue at the photobooth for free photo & memory

According to strait times

http://www.straitstimes.com/lifestyle/free-makeovers-at-chanels-pop-up

Each customer who makes a purchase at the pop-up can select a free cake or tart, specially made for the beauty pop-up, to be enjoyed at Coco Cafe or for takeaway.

When I confirmed with the staff  about this she claimed I must spend $180 then can enjoy the free dessert.

I told her I shall consider cos I need to look around.Personally I dont know what to get to spend to the total of $180.I m not that spendthrift to spend whatever amount to try dessert hence decide to giveup so I take my coffee from the bar counter.

Later the staff came & told me any purchase can enjoy.
I m happy.

Actually I want to try both cakes & tart so I confirm is it i get 2 product i get to enjoy 2 meaning tart & cakes.In the end I bought 2 item can only choose 2 tarts or 1 cake -_-

So if you r gg with a friend , each person purchase 1 then can enjoy 2 different dessert.

The same staff told me if spend $180 can get a magnet & sticker...
Personally magnet & sticker is of no use to me.
In the end the cashier give me  the magnet.

Actually I spend less than $100.

The sticker is the door gift.

Still I enjoy the food &coffee & experience.

I think those people who do not want to spend anything will enjoy as there will not be hard sales...everybody except f&b is so busy.

Although the slot is fully reserved, they still welcome walk in.
