ANG YI

Here’s to yet another hidden gem with the best vibes. The
newest and most interesting new bar in Oldtown is called
“Ang Yi”, an establishment that aims to put a new narrative
on Chinese secret societies. This bar uses its rustic aesthetic
to reshape the narrative, emphasising Chinese immigrants
coming together as a family rather than illicit activities.
