We found Double Dogs by accident when being swept along the crazy main street in Chinatown. What a joy to step into their beautifully neat and serene room, and be greeted by the proprietor, who explained the menu to us in his gentle and good-humoured way. We selected a variety of tea and a plate of mixed Chinese biscuits, then settled in to enjoy the peaceful room and the delicious treats. We tried a hot tea, which comes in a gleaming pot, and a cold tea in a tall glass, looking like beer. The proprietor showed us how to serve and enjoy the tea, and happily offered to take a photo of us, also to be photographed himself.
The room is lovely - minimalist decor, so different to the world outside the tea shop. You can also buy a selection of teas and tea-related gifts.
Recommended for a break of sanity in the chaos of Chinatown!
