Mi Chaii

You'll find Mi Chaii tucked away on Victoria Road in the southside, where it's quietly become one of those spots locals actually return to. It's not trying to be anything other than what it is—a proper tea café with a genuine grip on Thai flavours. The loose-leaf selection is taken seriously here, and they're not just pushing the obvious stuff; there's real knowledge behind the counter. The food's designed to complement the drinks rather than overshadow them, which means you're getting thoughtful small plates that taste like someone actually cares about the pairing. It's the kind of place where you can spend an afternoon without feeling rushed, nursing tea and picking at something genuinely tasty.
