OUR STORY

Can you keep a secret?
You’re looking for something new, something you’ve never experienced before. A way to escape the ordinary and free yourself from the crowd. A place you can only journey to at night, that greets you with neon lights, crimson walls, and tiled walkways leading to secret spaces. A place where others sweep past in the shadows, 
half-hidden behind privacy screens, causing you to double take.
Did you see them?
Did they see you?

Maybe you’ll wait at the cocktail bar. Run your fingers across its polished surface as your drink is made in front of you. Or perhaps you’ll sink into a deep velvet banquette, glass in hand, and get lost staring into the mirrored ceiling.

                    You may want to dine near the open kitchen, or go out onto 
the secluded terrace, to share plates of exquisite Cantonese cuisine. A wine list will be consulted. The night will grow late. You’ll not want 
to leave.

and so all our dishes are sharing plates.

            Our menu is inspired by Cantonese cuisine with additional Southeast Asian flavours. Desserts are western influenced. Specialities include the Cherry Wood Peking Duck, Szechuan Pepper Black Cod, or Dim Sum.

            An extensive wine list is complemented by our signature cocktails that draw upon Chinese pop culture. Favourites include the rum based Pop Corn Highball, the tequila-paloma Year of the Dragon, and the Fortune Teller with Bourbon whisky and salted caramel.
