They confiscated my power bank ...because it didn't have any label on it. When you bring a power bank over, make sure that it has all the labels.

No idea which you talking about but there are actually quite a few I'd visited setting literally in a modern house as in like terrace house but has a few tables inside and they don't cater for really big group. One I really like is in Hongqiao area opposite a large park forgot the name of the restaurant.
