Some people come in for a drink or two, others are practically part of the furniture. There's a group of people that show up about once a month to have really loud arguments about books, and there are those who have daily drunken conversations on the meaning of Life, the Universe and Everything.
Ever since we painted the wall red, we've noticed random strangers coming in. Occasionally there is someone chatting someone up in a corner, someone asking the fuwuyuan for the solutions to their Chinese homework, people talking business, or someone plugging in their ipod to put their new favourite song on.
Whereas some of these people insist on having the same pizza and a Dali every time, others are making their way through the entire selection of paninis and imported beers and above all imported wines. (Strangely enough, since we started having the Italian aperitif-buffet on Thursdays a few of the loyal Dali drinkers have now switched to Grappa). Hungry students barge in for the lunch specials, couples stop-by for a tiramisu, and another one, and one more, some others stop-by for a gelato on-the-go and locals are blown-away when they discover genuine Italian lasagna and red wine.
Whatever you want to eat, eat, whatever you want to drink, drink, whoever you want to meet, meet.
Live outside the box @ The Box.

Reviews
- Tuesday, 7th July 2009Just had a ginger tea here, which was nice and strong, although would have been even better with some tea leaves in addition to the ginger. Menu looked tempting, but alas, eating there wasn't meant to be this time. The visit would have been a lot more pleasant without the large, loud man sitting downstairs relaying his whole life story (in that slow, simplified English Hemingway once described) to what sounded like an unwitting victim next to him.
