Cheap, cheerful and authentic Chinese. One of our favourite places to grab a quick bite or order takeaways. We would recommend the stew or braised beef noodles and braised pork burgers!

Drinks & Nightlife

One of our favourite bars, very conveniently located in close proximity to the apartment. This is a secret bar hidden downstair of a club. There is no menu, instead, the bartenders will ask you what flavours you prefer and will create a cocktail tailored to your mood and taste preferences. Perfect, for a special night out and is definitely an experience.
