Do you still remember the char-grilled bread that you ate when you were a child? The time-honored Duochun Tea House is located in Xinjie, hidden in an inconspicuous alley, but it sells nostalgic old-style charcoal-flavored bread and Hainanese coffee!

Although there is no gorgeous decoration in the store, it does not prevent diners from going here to taste the most authentic old taste here. Warm toasted bread, topped with kaya butter and other sauces, and paired with strong Hainanese coffee, it is simple but delicious. By the way, egg toast is also one of the must-orders. Baked toast with two soft-boiled eggs is super fresh!
