Singapore HC shares “impossible” Chai experience in India; gets reply from Chaayos founder “guess we …” – Times of India

Singapore High Commissioner to India Simon Wong shared what he called an “impossible” Chai experience in India. Sharing his experience on social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, HC Wong wrote how he was not very pleased with the tea he had at a tea outlet in Gurgaon. Though he didn’t name the outlet, he shared the photo of a Chai Kulhad and the place he had the tea at (Chaayos outlet). The tweet got him not only a reply from Chaayos founder but also a flood of Chai invitations from people on Twitter.
The Twitter handle Simon Wong posted from is “Singapore in India.”

What Singapore HC wrote, and the replies

“The impossible happened. I just had a cup of tasteless #Chai in Gurgaon. Rs 169 with tax.🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️HC Wong,” wrote Wong. Replying to Wong’s tweet, Chayos founder Nitin Saluja wrote, “Hon’ble Mr Wong, I am Nitin, founder of Chaayos! In the name of deep India SG friendship, I invite you for a cup of Chai at a Chaayos near you! And as we enjoy our chai, i will share our commitment to get every chai right, including our no questions asked chai replacement policy!”
Wong thanked Nitin and clarified that the intention of his Twitter post was not to criticise Chaayos. “Dear Mr @Salujanitin, It is very gracious of you. I was in sector 59 looking at factory land. I googled best chai near me and found the shop. No shade intended.🙏🙏so much. HC Wong.”

“Google is right on Chai”

To this, Nitin said that Google is indeed right and that Chaayos is the Best Chai place. But he accepted that they may have messed up their Chai today. “Hon’ble Mr Wong, google is right. we are the best chai near you! however, looks like we messed up with your chai today! the weather calls for multiple chais a day, so i certainly look forward to having a chai together, so that you can conclude the same about our chai 💚,” wrote Nitin.

Singapore HC ‘thanks’ people for Chai invitations

Singapore HC Simon Wong also thanked people for all the Chai invites he received from them. “The true beauty of India lies in her people. I am overwhelmed by the torrent of invitations to have a cup of the best homemade #chai. I humbly thank you all. 🙏🙏HC Wong,” wrote Wong.
