Water Drop Teahouse — Restaurant in Mississauga

WHAT TO TRY?!

Their noodles here. They specialize in vegetarian food or imitation meat with their noodles. The laksa noodle and the imitation beef noodle are fan favorites.

FYI, you need to have membership with the temple in order to get their vouchers though. You can try to ask on a regular day to see if you’re lucky but essentially the tea room doesn’t take cash. You buy your tickets at the counter when you come in and then you trade your ticket in for a bowl of noodle or a pot of tea or a sandwich combo, whatever you like. One ticket equals one item.

My favorite is the laksa noodle. Has a bit of spicy kick to the laksa and it’s very creamy because of the coconut concentrate they use in their laksa mixture. The bowl has shredded lettuce, some imitation fish balls and squid balls and tofu. Very yummy!

The imitation beef noodle is also yummy too. The pieces actually look like beef and the taste is great. One bowl is good for one person.

The servers are very kind and willing to serve you. Mind you, they’re all volunteers here! So be polite too and reciprocate their service with kindness. That’s why they don’t like strangers coming into the tea house because they had rude customers come in and hence why they started making tea house exclusive to members only. If you wanna try this place out, maybe give some offerings to the temple or donate some money and they’ll give you a ticket!

LAST TIP?!

I urge to also try their orange or ginger tea. Made with fresh orange peels, the tea is sweet and delightful to have...

Actually this place is in the Buddhism temple of the restaurant 🙌. It's temporary closed now, during COVID-19 pandemic. The restaurant is a great, nice 👌 and neat place for vegetarian only. But it was not open to the public ,only to the members and their families or friends a couple years ago. By the way, this place is belonged to the Temple. It is not personal owned, workers are all volunteers, no coffee and liquors supplies. But here, the popular famous are Chinese tea and fruit tea.If you have a chance to visit here, you can come and try them. Even though the second floor has a display 👌 room for free, it has a few different status of Buddhas.Those historical aged for hundred years ago and may be thousand years. Come and take a closer look, you will be surprised 😮! But you have to wait until after pandemic.The Temple doesn't open on Mondays,and weekends are usually more...

The teahouse is super clean and a really cozy spot. The volunteers are excellent and attentive. As this is at a temple, you will need a membership as well as purchase tickets to enter and order at the restaurant.

The tea served was excellent and if it is a fruit tea, I highly recommend going for it. I would not refill it though as it is much more astringent the second time around.

The laksa soup as well as the vegetarian soup are excellent, with the tofu cooked really well and flavorful. The lack of a larger menu does not help but since it is a volunteer run kitchen at a temple, that is completely understandable.

The temple service can also bring a lot of people into the teahouse so keep that in mind if you do want to dine in.

I highly recommend this teahouse as it is a wonderful location for some good...
