Artco De Cafe — Restaurant in Zhongshan District

I arrived at this place at about 1.30pm thinking of grabbing a sandwich and coffee. Apparently they only start serving sandwiches after 2pm. So I ordered the Japanese style pan fried fish. I have no issue with the food except that I do not take the soup with beef stock and also the bamboo shoots they served was way to pungent to my liking.
