blast to the past

We were doing a site recce today in Petaling Street when we stumbled upon this tiny little cafe called "Old China". It was a rather small cafe drown by many big colourful sign of its neighbours. We decided to stop for a cuppa, and of course, to check out this very unique cafe. The entrance of the shop has this old cowboy town type of door - where you push it and it will swing back. Very antique indeed. The place was very dimly lit and there was only a table occupied by a group of Japanese tourist, having their late lunch. Chinese classic song was being played (I remembered a song by "Ge Lan" - as I am quite a fan of these classic old song myself) - and the walls were filled with old pictures (in sepia), chinese words and vintage posters. We quickly scanned through the place, caught the attention of the waiting staff and ordered our drinks. Food menu was pretty decent and intensive from fish head curry, assam fish, stuffed tofu to many other nyonya-style cuisine. It was quite an experience for us all - after all, it is quite hard to find a cafe with such character nowadays.

I thought it would make quite a nice place for a private small event for a hens night, birthday party or even a Shanghai night theme party. Whilst we send our Hunter & Gatherer team to package up something amazing with this unique place, do contact our Pleasure Team should you wish to have an experience there either for yourself or for someone who has the soft spot for all things old and vintage.

Lovely, isn't it?
