This shop in Wanchai is located on the 2nd floor of an old building, its main entrance is located at Wanchai Road with unique decoration of the exterior of the building. While this gives a wrong impressison to diners that the restaurant occupies the whole building, it creates a sense of uniqueness to visitors coming from the Wanchai Road entrance. Your visit starts like entering a time machine, which brings you from 2016 back to the year of 1963.When you entered the restaurant, it is fully decor
This shop in Wanchai is located on the 2nd floor of an old building, its main entrance is located at Wanchai Road with unique decoration of the exterior of the building. While this gives a wrong impressison to diners that the restaurant occupies the whole building, it creates a sense of uniqueness to visitors coming from the Wanchai Road entrance. Your visit starts like entering a time machine, which brings you from 2016 back to the year of 1963.
When you entered the restaurant, it is fully decorated by vintage furniture and creates a relaxing feeling of reminiscing the past. Old clocks which the date and time was halt at one specific moment in the past, old word infuser which was widely used before the invention of automatic printing machines.
The decoration of this shop is definitely the attraction of this restaurant, instead of solely providing Taiwanese food, the atmosphere offers diners a transient visit to the old times in Taiwan, with authentic vintage styles telephones and simple decorations. On one hand, this could promote the idea of recycling, as diners could have a chance to rethink the use of something which is considered outdated. On the other hand, reviving the old furniture (and even window frames) and decorations could help diners immerse into homely feeling of going back to the past, which is the theme of the restaurant. The walls are all painted with vintage style colours.
The restaurant occupies the whole 2nd floor of the building, which is very big, however, it is always crowded with diners, especially during lunch hours on both weekdays and weekends. Booking can be done via telephone, but it would be more secure if you book 1 or 2 weeks in advance for lunch hours in this restaurant.The menu of this restaurant is very simple, which is consistent with the decoration and the atmosphere as a whole.
The lunch sets are around HK$70 – HK$90, and diners can choose to order drinks by adding HK$15 or above. The drinks are mostly Taiwanese drinks handmade in the drinks bar.
I have been to this shop twice and ordered the following food:-台式三杯雞飯 (HK$70) (Taiwanese Style Chicken Rice)

The taste of the chicken is very strong in wine smell, the presentation of the lunch set looks like those Korean sets, with small dishes at side and small bowl of rice. On top of the chicken, there are spices to add colours and taste to the dish.
Some dried sakura shrimps are placed on top of the rice together with some sliced chicken, the taste of the rice is very unique. The variety of side dishes provides sensational excitement for diners. The sour tomatoes can initiate diners’ appetite.古早味老排骨飯 (HK$70) (Old Fashioned Sauce Pork Chop Rice)
The pork chop bone is placed on the dish to show the whole piece of pork chop. The taste of the pork chop is not those delicate type, but with very strong dipped sauce inside the meat texture. Taiwanese style minced pork is placed on top of rice.脆皮雞腿飯 (HK$68) (Crispy Chicken Leg Rice)
The chicken skin is very crispy and there is no additional flour placed outside the skin of the chicken. My friend has also ordered a rose coffee together with the set and she said that the coffee is surprisingly good. There are also biscuits coming along with the coffee.
The chopsticks in this restaurant are very special too, this restaurant provides a relaxing and humorous atmosphere for diners to enjoy Taiwanese food.
