A cafe donned in a heavy dose of dark woods and black, furnished with bugs and skulls and taxidermied foxes. Good coffee.

This little cafe run by two friends – Rosa and Sharon – is Japanese in style and cute in every corner.

Lan’s Patisserie, a French style bakery in Chengdu, has been under fire since it opened earlier this year. Some people applaud it as “the best there is in Southwest China”, while others trash it for being “ridiculously overpriced”. Well, there’s no better way to find out than trying it myself…
一般說到成都，腦海裏冒出的不外乎是串串香、擔擔面、麻辣鍋之類的當地美食，不過這篇要介紹的，是看似和成都沒關係的法式甜點店。Lan’s Patisserie 自今年年初開店以來一直備受爭議 － 不少人稱贊它是西南區甜點界的標竿，更多人罵它貴的沒道理，連遠在上海的我都聽過一些故事，讓人十分好奇。正好它就開在這次入住的博舍酒店附近（確切地來說步行7分鍾），找了個下午來吃吃看。
The design is sleek and stylish – geometric shapes, sharp lines, black and white contrast dotted with soft-colored HAY furniture…
Lan’s Patisserie 門面由簡約大方的幾何線條組成，黑白對比強烈，在時髦的太古里周邊仍顯的搶眼（我想應該是成都網紅們拍照最愛的地點之一吧）。室內在黑白背景上再添加了色彩可愛的 HAY 椅子們，好看。

Small Company is a mobile coffee trolley located inside Hug boutique at Chengdu Times No. 1. Hug itself is an interesting space worth exploring – situated on the 1st floor of an office building (very curious choice, indeed), it is a bright and airy fashion select shop with an interesting play on interior space. Take some time to wander and explore its many hidden nooks. As for Small Company, try a cup of their iced latte to cool down this summer heat, takeouts might also be a good idea if you happen to work close by.
說 Small Company 是一家咖啡店其實過于牽強，其實它是一個位于買手店 Hug 的小小 coffee trolley。Hug 本身就很有意思，棲身于辦公樓內，由于四面都是大片的玻璃的關系，空間感覺特別通透。內部設計高低錯落、動線迂回，二樓還有棟梁的店中店，展示著不少中國設計師品牌的作品。Small Company 的咖啡車位于一樓，小小一個很可愛，大片玻璃窗旁的位置充滿了空氣感。可以來喝一杯冰拿鐵降降溫，在附近工作的話也可以叫外送服務。

Curiously, the famed Berlin coffee roaster Five Elephant has its one and only branch outside of Berlin in Chengdu, China, of all places. If you are wondering why, here’s a good read. While I wasn’t especially impressed by what I got that day (though it’s possibly because I used up my coffee quota at The Mondoli’s Blood earlier that day), it’s still a cute little shop worth visiting if you happen to be in the area.
柏林 Five Elephant 是非常有名的咖啡館，之前沒聽說在海外還有分店，沒想到居然在成都有一家。店裏的設計簡單舒服，用的自然是 Five Elephant 的豆子，雖然當天的出品沒有特別令人驚豔（也有可能是因爲在 The Mondoli’s Blood 已經用掉當天的咖啡配額了所以無法再 enjoy），不過小巧的店挺可愛，剛好在附近的話可以來窗邊坐坐。

The Temple House

Tel: 28 6636 9999

Please note that this was a complimentary stay arranged by the hotel.
Before embarking on my spontaneous Chengdu trip last week, there were a number of things I was looking forward to – Sichuan hotpot, chuanchuan-er, and The Temple House. Not sure if you’ve already read my post on The Upper House in Hong Kong, but I was absolutely swooned by that hotel (details here). Needless to say, I had high expectations for The Temple House, part of The House Collective along with The Upper House and The Opposite House (Beijing).
請注意本次是酒店安排的試住。
上個月來了一場說走就走的成都行，讓我期待不已的除了火鍋和串串兒之外，還有衆多朋友一致推薦的 “博舍 The Temple House” 。不知你是否有看我去年入住 香港奕居 The Upper House 後寫的文章，總之當時體驗幾乎完美，讓我到現在都還念念不忘。不用說，這次旅行，對出自同一系列*的博舍期待萬分。
*繼北京的瑜舍 The Opposite House 和香港的奕居 The Upper House 之後，博舍是 The House Collective 的第三家酒店。
After a 40-minute car ride from the airport, I arrived at the rather low-key entrance of the hotel. It blends in so well with its surrounding that if it weren’t for the hotel staff stationed right in front, I probably would’ve missed it. Entering the courtyard is like stepping back in time: built more than a hundred years ago during the Qing dynasty, the Bitieshi courtyard features traditional brickwork, wood carvings, timber ceilings and floors, step stones, flying eaves that have been preserved and enhanced. Beautiful in every aspect.
從機場坐車到位于太古里的博舍大約 40 分鍾。酒店入口低調，要不是有工作人員等候幫忙開車門拿行李，我甚至都沒注意到這裏就是大門。踏入擁有逾百年曆史、始建於清朝的筆帖式庭院裏，傳統青磚木刻、木造天花板和地板、石級、懸挑屋頂及飛檐都得到保留和翻修，四面的房屋將庭院合圍在中間，雖然位于繁華的商業區，卻鬧中取靜，怡然自得。瞬間，好感。
