Old China Cafe

Arnold Euphor

I enjoyed coming to this cafe as it's like stepping back into the 60's. The interior is very nostalgic, the food is the same as what you'd expected of a typical Malaysian taste with its rich spices. Even the crockeries are the same as what was used during those days. Unfortunately the service part I would give it a 2 as the lady who serves me isn't very friendly, doesn't smile and basically look grumpy.

My first visit was about 15 years ago, I really liked this place then. I especially love the worn-out squeaky wooden swinging doors. It is adorned with classic memorabilia keepsakes like antique pendulum clocks that no longer tick or tock, metal standing fans, wall full of old sepia tint pictures that gives you a real sense of nostalgia, truly a blast from the past. It could be a place what Nana and Grandpa would have liked. Old China has been serving up signature Peranakan cuisine for years. The star of the show for us had to be the Chicken Rendang it arrived at our marble topped table piping hot, it was divine with the right balance of spices and coconut milk. Order a comforting plate of Nasi Lemak with rice beautifully colored with bunga telang and Mee Siam. I would skip the Nyonya Laksa(noodles cooked in a spicy coconut gravy with prawns, tofu and boiled eggs) and the Lemak Nenas Squid, they were pretty average. The place is best enjoyed by families, or those who just want to feel a little touch of nostalgia for simpler times. Service: used to be very good but now it is sporadic and slow. The local wait staffs had been replaced by foreign workers who might just decide to give you an attitude if the place is very busy. It is challenging to find a decent carpark, take the MRT it is within 500m of the Pasar Seni MRT station

One of the most awesome Nyonya Laksa in KL!! The ambience is very very old world... seems u entered another era, but it coukd be done better.. white wash the walls n make it more organised and cleaner but keep that charm!!The sago gula melaka was bad, coconut cream was not fresh.Please, when u order it just might be that u dont get ur entire order!! Our ikan api api went missing in action!!But still fir that Laksa would go again!!So Laksa fans ... get going!!
