Tucked away behind Sunny Park, this cute little café and bistro celebrates the marrying of centuries-old Asian cuisine with modern Australian dishes.
The laid back and rustic cafe serves up superb coffee, homemade cakes and a menu bursting with unique flavours and textures.
The young couple behind the popular haunt, Max Leung and Cindy Hsieh, are two culinary mavericks that are shaking up Sunnybank’s food scene.
Both second generation Australians, the duo merge the Chinese food they grew up eating with contemporary flavours, to create exciting and original dishes.
