Owned by the same team behind Pondi (here ’s our full review of this charming bistro where bold Indian flavours meet French charm), Shop B boasts a punkier vibe than its sister venue. This is evident from the moment you arrive on Fuk Sau Lane in Sai Ying Pun where both venues share a common address. While Pondi enveloped you with warmth in soft ambiance, Shop B. strikes dark décor and rap tunes.
Opened in 2023, Shop B offers a modern take on the local Dai Pa Dong culture. Expect orange plastic chopsticks and a packed space reminiscent of a classic food stall experience, with a concise menu of dishes that nod to classic Dai Pa Song options. Opt for a beer to complete the experience, whether it’s a classic bottle of Blue Girl or a trendier option such as a draught Suntory or Yardley Brothers IPA. Alternatively, you can fancy things up with a cocktail inspired by Hong Kong’s iconic beverages, like the Vitasoy Milkpunch or Preserved Lemon Highball.
