Start with nyonya pai tee –- deep-fried wheat flour served with condiments such as bean sprouts , shredded turnip , carrots and dried shrimp –- which comes with a side of chili for stronger flavor. Read more

Love the environment here, food is good but the dishes portion is rather small... Service wise, certainly can improve... Must try is their local Melaka coffee , superb!

Alicia Lim

I having mee siam while my bf hving nasi lemak . I like the mee siam when it mix with the sauce. But its a bit pricy , as it is a tourist spot. Old style restaurant with old style smell as well .

Jill van den Bosch

The food is great and the location is cozy . The staff is fast & friendly . I dont understand why it has a 6.5 at the moment!

Anna May

As the others say it, the blue rice was delicious! The nenas sotong was really good. Unfortunately, the bubu chacha was gross. They put ice in it and the coconut milk was floating in chunks. Ew?

Sky Chew

Top hat not so nice . Have to make yourself but the shape is wrong it should be a good shape and size to put the whole thing in your mouth. The ingredients also wrong ...

A lot has been said about this place. It's just a restaurant . Come back if found the taste that you like. For the record, it's my kinda taste. #foodastic #oldchinacafe #malaysiaveryoriginal

Fried Mee (slightly spicy ) was great! So was the coconut rice . Babi Pongteh was interesting. But they've forgotten about my Itik Tim soup ...

You'd be forgiven for thinking that it s probably another one of those places meant for tourist tastebuds. But it's in fact a place that serves very good food!

Pineapple sotong with coconut milk delicious ???? I like the atmosphere there. My boss ordered for me a sort of iced coffee , I'll skip next time

Go 4 chicken rendang-right balance of spices and coconut milk , Tasty Mee Siam . I would skip the Nyonya laksa & lemak nenas squid , they were average. Service: used to be good, now its sporadic & slow.

Grayson Smith

Hidden gem of china town . The coconut rice + rendang chicken/beef is delicious

Vincent Tan

Devil pork curry is one of the good items here

tsuNami

I probably ordered the wrong items! Egg cinchalok but no taste of cinchalok. Assam fish but barely got Assam taste. Binjal balacan which can be merely tasted. Suitable for people with flavorless buds.

Julia Lodyguina

Adore the place! Must-try: Lemongrass juice , durian dessert and pie tees.

Gerard Condal

Lovely service. Great lady and really nice waiters . Really good quality-price food. Try it although it seems it's in a dead street.

Edwyn Low

Made my booking 3 weeks before the actual date and our table was given away to another group that made their booking 1 week before. Now we have to cramp everyone in a small table. Not happy & impress.

Ai Jou Chuah

Must-try: Blue coconut rice , Beef rendang , Ju hu char and Sambal petai prawn . Looking forward to try more dishes soon!

Nynke Bel

Great old place used to be a laundry. Try the home made juices and freshly made ice tea ! Good food.

Maweł Pazurkiewicz

Good food, very nice atmosphere, good service . Good place to take a brake from noisy chinatown :)

aLvin Yan

The environment is nostalgicly awesome. However the food are overly priced and small in portion. If you are a person who loves a good environment, then come. Or else, dont bother.

Lareina O

Decent nyonya-Chinese fare in retro settings. Blue coconut rice & beef rendang were good. But watch out for the cranky uncle in teahouse upstairs. Must be too much caffeine.

MeNa Kun

I would actually love to come here and eat more often but the location made me think twice. Not particularly the safest part of KL despite the police station is just opposite.

Christy Hoo

Nasi lemak & traditional melaka blend coffee ! ????????????

William Lau

Try the Sago Gula Melaka . It's epic!

Ms Teenwith

Environment is good, antique and classy , good for photography . Food is normal, and very small portion, but desserts are worth trying.

Maria Kolga

blue coconut rice and nyonya chicken rendang is super delicious!

Pamela Teh

Literally you'll feel like you've been transported to old china. Love the deco! Food is yummy!!! (y)

hChiang

Cozy place. Tried the mee siam and tasted ok. Pricey tho.

Cat Warhurst

Beautiful cafe . Lovely blue coconut rice !

amiologic

Beef Rendang is a must.

Low Casey

Recommended: beef rendang & santan rice . No no for Pork pongteh, they supposed to braise longer.

Danny Tee

Nice ambiance. Good food. A bit pricey though.

Cenk Yurtsever

Nice athmosphere to experience!

Mark Angelo Calibo

The good: Squid with some creamy curry sauce and pineapples .

Evonne's Travellogy

Service not bad.Food with moderate price .Not much local only "guai lou".Dont park car near the 1st corner park the car at next carpark,cheaper!

Yeo Siau Hui

Good ambient and service. However the Rendang not up to my expectation.

Borja Burgos

Come for the venue, which is worth seeing and experiencing, but not for the food (average). Touristic spot.

Ying Ying

Nice food and nice service here. Have to try it.

Gaddo

Superb Wifi connection .

L to the F

Pretty place. Prices surprsingly reasonable. Mostly patroned by backpacker tourists . They don't serve ice though.

Lee Ying

Food is not good. Lima belas is much better. Even their dessert is not edible. We returned their spoilt bubuchacha. They came back to us to declare that it is not spoilt. Not coming back here

Mike Watson

Great atmosphere, staff and food.

Elaine Lo

Nasi lemak with coconut rice . Slurp!

Max Sim

Overrated nyonya restaurant . Love the environment though. Food are just so so. Presentation of the food is beautiful but taste is just not there.

Sultanija J

Nyonya laksa is the best ... you have to try it.
