Review of So Good Café @ TripleOne Somerset
TripleOne Somerset’s So Good Café is one of their smallest yet most charming Hong Kong–style cafés. Despite its compact space, it’s always bustling with diners craving authentic HK comfort food. The adjoining bakery adds to the charm — filling the café with that irresistible buttery aroma that makes every visit extra comforting. It’s the perfect spot for a tea break or a simple lunch, though fair warning — you might walk out smelling like a croissant yourself! 😅
I’ve been here countless times, and my all-time favourite remains the fried rice with black pepper chicken chop, complete with egg and sausage — fragrant, satisfying, and full of that signature wok hei. The toasted baguette drizzled with condensed milk is another must-try, ideal for an afternoon snack. Their HK noodles also impress with their springy texture and rich flavour, pairing beautifully with the roasted meats and steamed chicken.
If you’re after a classic HK café experience, the ABC meals are worth a try — a comforting combo of macaroni with ham soup, sandwiches with eggs, and a drink.
While service has had its ups and downs in the past, the consistently good food and nostalgic HK café vibes keep me coming back. Overall, a cosy little gem at Somerset that continues to deliver honest, satisfying fare every visit.

Frills free char chan tang. Order on the dashboard, get seated and pick up your order when your table buzzer sounds. Taste is good especially the duck. Price is reasonable. Everything is self service including clearing your tray as there’s no service charge.

Ordered via 2 machines. Instructions on it not very clear so this can be improved.
Love the breakfast but if u choose the option to have carrot cake vs chee cheong fun, the serving of the carrot cake is miserable.

Food was not bad but a bit on the expensive side. Ordering is done on the kiosk. Unfortunately we lucked out and the kiosk system hung, so we had to do our ordering again (luckily, they had 2 kiosks).
The soya sauce chicken was flavourful, but the other components are just bang average. Only one small piece of limp vegetable accompanied the chicken rice.
The fish congee had the thinnest slice of fish I had ever seen.

No-frills Hong Kong cafe selling staple HK fare such as roasted meat rice, dim sum and other HK casual fare. Food is pretty acceptable at a decent price, a little higher than food court prices. Have to self-order from the kiosk and queue can be quite long

Probably one of the best Char Chan Tang in the Somerset area, quite a good spread of mains and set meals. Their Bolo Bun with Butter and Milk Tea is highly recommended.
Do try to be there early as they may be some wait time during peak hours.

Pretty busy small HK restaurant. Have to wait a bit.
Food is ok for a quick lunch. Not so comfortable to stay too long because of the crowds. Char Siu set tastes ok but felt like too much rice for the meat.
Milk tea is delicious.

I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve been to this cha chaan teng.
I ordered roast duck leg, braised pork knuckle, beef brisket noodles, and rice noodle rolls.
The food quality has always been very satisfying， especially their braised pork knuckle, which is incredibly flavorful.
The beef brisket, however, is a bit on the tough side.
The biggest downside lately is the long wait, especially during lunchtime.

Had a good lunch at So Good Char Chan Teng, Somerset branch.
Have tried their food at other branches and always taste good.
The curry beef brisket is delicious and can be better if the food was served a little warmer.
Their tea is also strong and fragrant.
Dining environment is compact and not comfortable.
Prices are reasonable.
But waiting staff not friendly. I will frequent their Tanjong Pagar outlet next time.

There was a long wait time to be seated during lunch time. I waited around 35 minutes to be seated. During busy periods, this is understandable.
However, I was sorely disappointed at the quality of the congee which was too watery. The iced yuan yang was not crafted well and had more coffee than tea, making it an overall unpleasant experience.
