Old CHina Cafe, KL


Old China Cafe, a well established brand name famous among the tourist in KL. It's famous of it's authentic nyonya food, and of course the old traditional antique design...



I really love the ambiance of this cafe coz i feel like i'm in the 60s.. with the old Chinese song playing as a background. Every pieces of furniture there is antique and personally, i love the old-fashion fridge so much


A cup of hot "KOPI" is alwiz so suitable in that environment. The old traditional cup with the green colour flower image is like a trademark of those old traditional "kopitiam".
The method of serving "KOPI" here was slightly different where they will served us a big pot of coffee with a strainer to strain off the coffee powder.

Here's my cup of iced coffee. A bit sweet for me but i love the full bodied of the local black coffee


Nasi lemak - a dish strongly recommended by the waitress........ It's something special becoz the rice is in blue colour and it's served with sambal, ikan bilis, cucumber, kangkung, boiled egg and rendang chicken. Taste wise was just acceptable....

Nyonya curry laksa is a bit disappointed as i still prefer the one in Red Ginger, North Point. The taste was a bit bland for me and it's just a very normal curry laksa.




Not to comment so much on the food coz they basically served to the tourist crowd. But definitely i will come back again becoz of the friendly staff and nice ambiance.

I love this kind of restaurants, it has a lot of character...there are quite a few like this in Penang...it's awesome...something that modern chi chi frou frou pretentious restaurants can never offer, the ambiance.
