The art on the wall is from a popular artist invited up to decorate this place, from Taichung. It’s fun!
The layout is a lot like Beer and Cheese just up the road. They could perhaps do with a description about the flavours and differences…
Upstairs:
The atmosphere certainly feels comfortable, I could whittle away a few hours sat in the window watching the rain, that’s for sure (but that’s not me, I’m here to eat!).

I do love a good pad thai. This one is raw, so it isn’t cooked in any way – quite different to the pad thai I usually indulge in. However, it still worked well. There are plenty of peanuts lending a hard crunch and plenty of finely sliced raw veggies allowing a softer crunch.
It was good but it wasn’t as good as it looked.
Plant-based burger with Kimchi Mayo
全植泡菜美乃滋
quán zhí pào cài měi nǎi sī hàn bǎo

Definitely a top dessert, right here!
If you ever want to indulge in chocolate naughtiness in a vegan way, this is the one for you. However, be aware, it is big! This took two of us to finish it.
The salt on the top complimented the dark chocolate and pulled out more flavours. The ice cream in the middle added good texture and made it feel even more naughty. Finally, the bottom layer of chocolate was soft, chewy and a great way to end the mouthful of chocolaty goodness.
Definitely save room for this!
