Duddell Street - Bing sutt Starbucks
Most of the people wouldn't notice there is a unique Starbucks located in Duddell Street, literally between the 4 gas lamps.
While strolling down the street near the Pedder Street ( I was looking for the Stone steps street), suddenly I felt exhausted and thirsty. As a local, we would just go for a drink quickly.
I saw the Starbucks logo and decided to go for a drink while walking in, there was an extraordinary smell...
I smell ' Egg tarts'?? - You wouldn't get such things in other Starbucks in Hong Kong.
Little history behind the Bing sutt.
Hong Kong retail design store G.O.D. collaborated with Starbucks and created a store with a "Bing Sutt Corner" at their store on Duddell Street. It is a concept that fuses the retro bing sutt, a Hong Kong teahouse style with the contemporary look of a coffeehouse.
Bing sutt is a type of traditional coffee house in Hong Kong. Commonly found in 1950s and 1960s-era, it is characterized by old furniture and settings such as the small tiled floors, hanging fans, folding chairs and so on. Bing Sutt provides light meals and drinks and is neighbourhood-oriented.[1] It is believed to be the predecessor of Cha Chaan Teng.
Hong Konger's love to spend their tea time inside a bing sutt or somewhere nice. - Only wealthy people go to cafes or restaurants back in the days!!!
It is situated between the stairs (or an alley if you say so!)
