To locate this quaint art gallery and café is a blink-and-miss adventure of its own. To find this place, keep an eye out for its signature violet border. Chai’s bare, minimalist gallery interior highlights its simple, artsy treasures within. Check out their canvas bags, bottle cap necklaces, plush toys and even cute toddler shoes resting behind glass-covered displays. As for its cafe, chicken sandwich topped with greens and refreshing dragonfruit juice are part of its humble menu. For a proper dine-in, visitors can choose to rest on the sofas, backed with book shelves or make your way upstairs for outdoor seating.
