Exactly what its name suggests: a white cube that makes a notable contrast to its surrounding neighbourhood and the public exercise facilities out front. Large square divans surround low-set tables in the front section, while a small private room lies off to the side and an elevated loft is tucked in the back. Manager Li Zhenhua (of Mustard Seed Garden fame) intends to use the venue for various exhibitions and events. Aside from its selection of decently priced drinks, authentic Yunnan food is offered, though it’s a bit of a challenge to dine on the tables. Reserve ahead for lunch.
