Shanghai / Bakery

Since I found my preferable toast, Over. has quickly become my favorite artisanal bakery shop in the hood. All natural yeast-based breads freshly baked everyday, this is the first baker's place in town where I keep returning for the authentic and seasonal flavors, bread talks with friends and the occasional art and craft exhibitions curated by the owner.

Shanghai / Gallery

A stylish combination of a local fashion brand's atelier, retail shop and coffee stand operated by a respected local coffee brand. The ground floor also hosts exhibition occasionally. Outdoor seating is quite comfy too. Another lovely place for daylight coffee in the hood.

Shanghai / Restaurant

An immediate neighborly cafe and bar which is also one of favorite meet-up points in town for authentic French crepe, Sunday brunch and delightful drinks in the evening. Community and family-friendly menu, service and the uniquely chilling vibes here from the coffee stand to the shared table inside are just so addictive!

Shanghai / Shop

Surrounded by historic architectures and cultural institutes, it is a new retail concept aimed to be creative community hub for shopping and events. Personally, not a fan of the select shop but the coffee shop and the outdoor setting is a nice place to hang in the quieter end of the hood.

Shanghai / Restaurant

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
