Ked Teahouse and Bistro
Founded by an owner who has a deep affection for Chinese teas after having lived in China for over 10 years, this teahouse serves not just premium grade tea but also respects the tea culture, which adds an interesting dimension. Staff are properly trained by professional teachers so that they can conduct tea ceremonies, and all equipment is carefully selected and imported from China. Red pu’er tea, the signature tea, is rich in flavour due to its age and the sophisticated fermenting process, and is a must if you are a tea lover. For a little more of an aromatic sensation, the rose tea might be the one for you, or if you are seeking something with a fruity taste, the Chinese dried fruit tea is also an option. Here, you can enjoy a private tearoom with personal staff who will be pouring you ceremonial tea glass by glass, a perfect ambience for a private meeting. You can also enjoy a full meal with a variety of Thai-Chinese dishes on the menu.

Cha Cha Mabuhay Filipino Cuisine
Chiang Mai hasn’t had a Filipino restaurant for many years, so if you have a yearning for some exotic MSG-free homemade Filipino food, head on over. The Filipino chef will serve you a traditional recommended menu which of course includes the classic dish, adobo at family friendly prices. There is a special dish — relyeno — of milk fish which is taken off the bone, mixing the fish meat with various ingredients before stuffing it all back into the fish again. Most of the ingredients are imported from the Philippines for added authenticity. Vegans will find plenty of options with Royal Project produce. You can also make a night of it, grab a mic and get singing with their karaoke machine, while enjoying your meal with Filipino beers, making it a quality moment with family and friends.
