Seedlip is working with Magical Mushroom Company to make the packaging. Magical Mushroom adds mycelium to natural materials that farmers no longer need.

▅ "Completely overrated (评价过高)." We saw very good comments of this restaurant, but I think the service was terrible. We waited for 30 minutes before anyone even noticed us. We ordered noodles, but they were overcooked. I was angry here! ☆☆☆☆★Frank |
▅ "Visited twice in three days!" We had lovely food there for the first time. The fish was very fresh and it had delicious salad. The second time we went there, the waiters were friendly but left us alone for two hours!But it is near my home and easy to get to. ☆☆★★★Eric |
▅ "A nice place to meet friends." This is a good restaurant and it also serves us well, though it's a little expensive. I usually go there just for a drink. It is a place to have a drink, but it might be better to eat somewhere else. ☆★★★★Olivia |
