www.chabeiteacup.com Cha Bei is hard to miss, as its décor sets itself apart from the rest of Galaxy’s dining establishments. Resplendent in pastel colours and blooms of fine flowers adorning the interiors of the establishment, this cake shop and tea salon doubles as a restaurant. A wide-ranging selection of fresh, health-forward dishes with an international slant make up the menu, and Cha Bei’s savoury offerings are executed at a high standard. The signature avo bun burger is a revamp of the classic, replacing the bun with two halves of perfectly ripe avocado, while the sakura ebi spaghetti, is an example of western cuisine with a touch of Asian influence. Sweets at Cha Bei include its popular soufflé pancakes, which are perfectly executed—they’re fluffy, soft, and light paired with fresh fruits and a touch of cream and honey, and is worth saving your appetite for. Quite a few desserts have been crafted with a lower level of sweetness in mind, while fresh smoothies are made without additional sweeteners. Guests should look out for the creative cocktails, often prepared with tisane infusions and fresh herbs and spices combined with fruits.
