Love this spot for a quick bite and drinks in the city. Especially after a long shopping day in soho. Watch out for the skater boys who are destined to ruin your life as supreme is right around the corner. Highly recommend the green papaya salad, ginger chicken, Chinese broccoli and fried rice!

Such a fun shopping experience, it’s giving clueless or laundrette! You can definitely find something cute in there exclusively from independent/upcoming designers. I particularly love their super weird selection of jewellery and accessories
