Having walked around The Heritage 1881 space a few times and thought I already knew all about it, I was definitely embarrassed to discover that there's indeed a hidden cafe-slash-store hidden within the precinct, not accessable via normal means. One would naturally think this to be nigh on impossible, afterall the whole architectural concept is based on open courtyards, where every visual-stimilus with piled on fake heritage value always lie somewhere just right infront of you. Its extroverted

ENGLISH BREAKFAST TEA:
Very good indeed and fragrant, it started off being lightly grassily refreshing like a herbal tea before developing into something a bit more tannicky and black, pretty good for a tea bag! I did not feel like drinking coffee lately as once the impetus to seek out that better cup subsides, you go back to square one and recall the really good stuff that they roast and brew overseas but cannot be emulated here for some reason. No wonder people are drinking imported Winter Espresso blends lately and hooked with it. So tea does me fine and this delivered to expectations.
CRAB & URCHIN AVOCADO SALAD:
The kitchen is headed by an ex-hotel chef, so there are some light lunches as well as interesting tea snack options. (The food is not cooked upstairs at Busy Suzie: woops I just accidentally let out a HINT of where this cafe is located.) This salad was ok-good I suppose. Don't expect the sea urchin to be fresh like the daily imported ones from Hokkaido to Hong Kong restaurants via direct flight, this seemed a bit soft for non-spawning season. The other things were good just in dainty portions, even the dotted balsamic was of higher, aged grade.

NOW ONTO THE MAIN ATTRACTION : BROTHER & SISTER CONCEPT STORE'S SHOES!
A good selection of Tees, Skin Care Products plus Accessories and Watches are also available, but its their very limited availability shoes which would make me return to find that perfect pair! Caught glimpses of PUMA sneakers such as the latest Sergio Rossi x Puma Crossover series, or the lovely Mihara Yasuhiro x Puma's for guys. Other stuff include Adidas sought-afters, hand made sneakers, D&G's, Jeremy Scott crosses. Try some on whilst waiting for your tea and dessert. For a similar Clothing x Cafe experience, JFT LOUNGE is another good alternative, and coffee there won't cost you $55 like it would here either : http://www.openrice.com/restaurant/sr2.htm?shopid=38274
