Qi Pao is a charming little corner shop that’s straight out of 80s Hong Kong with its eclectic, slightly overwhelming decor (everything from Chinese New Year hangings to leftover Christmas trees), and open-air view of the busy street. Grab a seat at the bar outside and chug down some strong drinks and small bites. This is the perfect place for a fuss-free night out with friends, and chances are it’ll be super uproarious with the approachably priced booze and boisterous staff. Pick your spirit of choice and tuck into a simple but delicious selection of bar snacks. Kindle your tastebuds with some Chinese Pickles before diving into crispy deep fried treats like Fried Chicken Nuggets and Crispy Cheese Balls. For something more substantial, there’s an unexpectedly elegant Smoked Salmon Salad and a hearty Ham & Sausage Plate. On Sundays, enjoy an alternative Yum Cha with their selection of Western brunch plates. Poached Eggs with Salmon, Rye Toast with Avocado, and a divine Cheese Eggs Benedict with Smoked Ham make the perfect Sunday brunch, and those toasty aromas will leave curious passersby more than a little jealous.
