I had the pleasure of meeting the founder of Chan Ngee, Mr Goh Yong Chiang, and his son, Seng Ngee, at their shop recently. Besides the shop being a repository of artefacts dating back to the Qing Dynasty, as well as more affordable vintage items, it was amazing to hear fascinating stories about the Singapore of yore from its owners. The elder Goh, who is so warm and friendly, is a treasure trove of lively anecdotes of the past. He even performed the traditional Gongfu tea ceremony for me (with amazing deftness for an 80-year-old!) as we chatted.So grateful to be privy to one of Singapore's authentic historical narratives. His son, Seng Ngee, gives lots of context to the various pieces in the shops. The shop specialises in Yingxi teapots which are made of a super absorbant clay that retains the flavour of tea. They are also holding an exhibition on local and Chinese artisans their upper floor, which I suggest you go check out.
