"Cafe TPT is an all-people, all-occasions, all-dependably-delicious choice in Chinatown that’s open until midnight on Friday and Saturday. At the Hong Kong-inspired canteen, you can get a full meal with friends, have a catch-up, or eat solo if you have no friends but still want chow mein. It serves Cantonese and Malaysian dishes, and the honey-glazed char siu pork is a favourite, piled on top of rice with some cursory (but appreciated) steamed cabbage underneath." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
"If you feel like you’ve been in a conscious, eye-open coma with a rain soundtrack for the past week, then let us suggest you double down on that feeling in a big, béchamel-heavy way by heading to Café TPT. The classic Chinese diner in Chinatown offers a huge range of delicious dishes, from sweet and moist char siu pork, to beef flank curry, to hot and sour soup. But the Macau-style pork chop on rice—chilli oil-fried pork strips covered in a curry-tasting, cheesy béchamel sauce—will make you embrace the sound of rain, and remind you that there are still things to be grateful for.
