✨ AI restaurant snapshot
Hidden in a lane off Zhongping Road in Xinzhuang, this industrial-style brunch spot plays with the theme of a film set. Most impressive is the clean air, with little cooking odor. The menu openly names respected suppliers such as A Fresh Milk, Haoye Duck, and Chinyi Eggs; even the pesto and chicken are prepared in-house. It is a sincere small restaurant with solid foundations, not one that passes off ready-made wholesale products.
● Lime Tea Chicken Thigh Set
The Lime Tea Chicken Thigh Set centers on house-prepared chicken thigh, tender and juicy, with candied lemon whose sweet acidity makes the skin's richness feel fresher. Brown-sugar French toast is lightly crisp outside and soft within; a sunny-side egg, salad, and sides keep the plate varied. Lemon fish-sauce dressing is also more appetizing than heavy mayonnaise. Eat chicken and toast hot—do not study the clapperboards until all the sincerity on the plate has gone cold.
● Lemon Tuna Croissant
The Lemon Tuna Croissant packs tuna-and-egg salad, lettuce, and apple slices into a crisp croissant. The filling is generous, and the apple's fresh sweetness and crunch prevent every bite from being only creamy tuna. It is easy to eat and sufficiently filling, though lemon acidity is less pronounced; anyone expecting forceful citrus may find the question more vivid than the answer. Take the first bite while the shell is crispest, then pair it with an unsweetened drink for an easier finish.
Choose the Lime Tea Chicken Thigh Set for a complete brunch, or the Lemon Tuna Croissant for a lighter handheld meal. Sets already include a drink, so check the contents before adding more. Arrive early or reserve on holidays, and allow a few extra minutes to find the address in the lane.

📌 Editor's conclusion
Many brunch shops sell photo-ready décor; this one sells the owner's conscience. Though it sits in a hard-to-find dead-end lane, its commitment to preparing most food and sauces with care genuinely creates a reason to return. For a holiday morning without cooking fumes, with good chicken and eggs, it is worth making the special turn into the lane.
