New Chinese bistro inspired by cyber punk and re-imagined by a young pair of modern food culture enthusiasts at downtown, Shanghai. Great for casual dinner and natural wines with folks

A decent coffee stop for urban cyclists and people feel connected to the community. The variety of house blend speciality coffee is as good as the the line-up of the fancy bikes at the doorstep:-)

The one of a kind pocket park in the middle of old town Shanghai built for and loved by the local community. An inspiring Utopian urban living in reality, I used to commute a lot both for pleasure and field research of my service design assignment. It's currently used by the local government as a PCR test spot. Wish it could reopen soon to public! 

A recent favorite place for the authentic Tokyo-style ramen and side dishes featuring house-made noodles from Japan and original recipes. Taste superb! 

A perfect blend of Aussie cafe style and Shanghai neighborhood culture: great coffee, good crowd and plenty of sunshine if you're lucky:-) The caffeinated vibe there has the speciality ingredients that I missed about independent coffee shops in town. Ben, the owner curate pop-up gallery program in-store where I also had a chance to exhibit my latest personal paintings earlier this year.
