RU? Cafe - inconspicuous location but making a good effort
From the outside of this cafe on XinZha Rd across from One Park Plaza, you can only see the "?" sign. The building that houses the cafe was on the city's demolition list and then it was not, making the survival of this little place questionable. However, walking into the cafe yesterday, I was greeted by the cheerful New Zealand-Chinese owner(forgot to ask for her name) who took us upstairs for a look. It seems to be a perfect weekend read-a-book hide-out for the expat residents of the nearby highrises. We ordered some smoothies, which were thick and substantial. The baguette sandwich was decent with a side of salad. The hostess said their dinner entrees are also very good. They also have a pretty innovative take-out service, where you can text them w/ codes of items from the menu and they will decode what you want.
Will go back to try out some other stuff. Remember to ask to sit upstairs.
