For those who find joy in comforting Hong Kong-style classics and deliciously simple meals, there is a reason to pause this July. Tai Cheong Bakery—long renowned for their silky egg tarts and cha chaan teng-style fare—is offering something heart-warming and satisfying that doesn’t break the bank. From 1 to 31 July 2025, they are introducing a Chicken Macaroni Soup Set for just $9.90, served with a choice of tea or coffee. It’s the kind of deal that makes a lunch out feel like a small luxury, especially in today’s rising cost environment.
Now, let’s talk about why this is a food deal worth noting and why fans of hearty comfort food should not sit this one out.
A Taste of Hong Kong in the Heart of Singapore
Tai Cheong Bakery has long been a favourite among locals and tourists who appreciate authentic flavours that are nostalgic yet timeless. Famous for their signature egg tarts, which boast a buttery shortcrust base and smooth, custard-like filling, they have also carved out a reputation for their all-day cha chaan teng menu. This July special further builds on that.
The Chicken Macaroni Soup Set is the type of humble, no-fuss comfort food that’s common in traditional Hong Kong diners. It brings together familiar ingredients in a way that’s both nourishing and satisfying—perfect for a quick bite, a casual catch-up over lunch, or even an early dinner. With a choice between classic chicken broth or rich tomato soup, the set allows diners to customise their meal depending on their cravings. Whether you prefer the clean, savoury depth of chicken soup or the tangy richness of tomato, there’s something to satisfy either preference.
Affordable Dining Without Sacrificing Quality
In an era where it’s becoming increasingly challenging to find a full meal with drink included for under $10, Tai Cheong Bakery’s July deal is both refreshing and commendable. At just $9.90, this set includes not just the macaroni soup (which is filling on its own) but also a hot beverage—either tea or coffee, both essential to complete the cha chaan teng experience.
Consider this: a regular café coffee alone can easily cost around $5 these days. Add a light meal to that, and you’re looking at a minimum of $15 in most cases. Tai Cheong is offering the whole set—meal and drink—at under $10, making it perfect for budget-conscious individuals, students, and anyone who appreciates value-for-money dining without compromising on taste or ambiance.
Ideal for Casual Meet-Ups or Solo Comfort Food Sessions
The cosy outlet at 31 Lorong Liput in Holland Village offers an inviting and relaxed setting to enjoy this promotional set. Whether it’s a solo lunch escape from work or a casual brunch with friends, the restaurant offers both ambience and authenticity.
There’s something almost romantic about tucking into a hot bowl of macaroni soup while the rain taps gently outside—an experience that resonates with anyone who’s ever craved warmth and nostalgia in a single dish. And if it happens to be paired with a proper cha chaan teng-style milk tea or hot coffee? That’s the kind of satisfaction money usually can’t buy—except, in this case, it can, and at a remarkably fair price.
A Perfect Excuse to Introduce Friends to Something New
Tai Cheong’s team is also encouraging diners to not keep this treat to themselves. This isn’t a solo affair unless that’s your preference—bring a friend along and share the experience. For many Singaporeans who have not yet dined in a traditional Hong Kong cha chaan teng setting, this is the perfect opportunity to sample a dish that’s commonly served in local cafés across Hong Kong.
It’s a fun way to try something a little different from the typical hawker lunch or café sandwich. Macaroni soup might not be the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about comfort food, but once tasted, it’s likely to become a new favourite.
Don’t Miss the Limited-Time Offer
As with all good things, this promotion isn’t here to stay forever. Running from 1 to 31 July 2025, it’s a month-long offer that gives just enough time for repeat visits—but not so long that one can afford to put it off indefinitely.
Whether you’re working in the area, staying nearby, or planning a food trail through Holland Village, it’s a worthwhile stop to pencil in. The outlet is conveniently located, easy to reach via public transport, and surrounded by plenty of other cafés and shops if you’re in the mood to make a day of it.
