Ko Chow and Tiger go to a coffee shop to discuss business. In the background you can see some window decals with the name "D & D". However, more interesting is what is beyond the windows because you can make out the brickwork of the Fringe Club in the background. This means the coffee shop was located on the upper ground level of Wilson House on Wyndham Street. The same venue is also seen a short while later when Ko Chow meets his girlfriend, Hung, and agrees to marry her the next day at the registry office.
According to the most recent Streetview images (I can't go and see for myself as I am currently stuck inside under an isolation order with Covid19) there is currently a Korean Beauty parlour called "Seoul Aesthetic" occupying the space.
2024 Update: I've just discovered, courtesy of the excellent Dylan Cheung on Bluesky, that this cafe, D&D, was owned by a recently deceased, famous fashion designer called David Sheekwan and was a bit of a hotspot for movie actors back in the day. You can read Dylan's short thread about the man here.
