Officially a restaurant, this surreal Aladdin's Cave is more a museum of curios than anything else, for the owner is primarily a collector of magical things. Artifacts, paintings and busts (some quite rare) are distributed throughout the rambling rooms here, and the owner has 1001 stories about his collection to whet your curiosity while you wait for your Peruvian-Chinese meal (mains S15 to S30).
