Chinese New Year might be coming to an end soon, but many of us are still riding on the mahjong high! 

Nevertheless, whether you’re an expert mahjong player or just a foodie that loves good food at even better prices, we might’ve just found the perfect place for you. 

Located just across the border in Johor Bahru, Thirteen Units Hong Kong Cafe is a super IG and TikTok-worthy mahjong-themed cafe offering comforting Hong Kong fare at affordable prices

As you enter the cafe, you’ll find yourself surrounded by quirky mahjong-inspired and retro decor — it’ll almost feel like you’re stepping into a nostalgic 90s Hong Kong movie. 

For a hearty and wholesome meal, order the Curry Fishball Mee (S$3.90) packed full of yummy ingredients like fried egg and crispy spam, or the Signature Nissin Noodles (S$3.30), a HK classic that everybody loves, and many more.

Other than mains, the cafe also serves up an array of favourite HK sides like Polo Buns (from S$1.50), Chee Cheong Fun (S$1.80), Portuguese Egg Tarts (S$1.20/piece) and many other options. 

As for a little something to-go, the cafe also has Bubble Waffles (which many of us know as egglets) with some pretty unique and savoury flavours — Corn Cheese (S$2.75), Chicken Floss Peanut (S$2.75), Double Egg Sausage Cheese (S$3.40), and more.

And of course, HK fare is known for their yummy, milky beverages like Silk Milk Tea (S$2.10) and Yuan Yang (S$2.10) for when you want the best of both worlds (coffee and milk tea).

And here’s something fun and unique that the cafe offers — a Bottle Milk Tea (S$3) that comes in an adorable container that’s fashioned after a mahjong tile (bring it to your mahjong sessions with your kakis for more huat)!
