My favourite spot for soup dumplings. Don’t forget to add chili oil and vinegar! I also highly recommend the snow pea leaf, or the Chinese broccoli in oyster sauce.

My favourite café in the city! I often go here for a coffee and to read a book, but it is equally nice for a drink in the evening. Very cozy with live jazz on Sunday nights.
