Old China Café offers a blend of Straits Chinese and Malay delicacies, set in a building rich with history. Once the guild hall of the Selangor & Federal Territory Laundry Association, the premises have stood in Chinatown since the 1920s.
Traditional feng shui mirrors and wooden kitchen door latches remain as a nod to the past. These rare pre-war shophouses are becoming increasingly scarce, as much of the surrounding neighborhood has been renovated or demolished.
Old China Café stands as a tribute to early Chinese settlers, whose hard work helped shape the thriving Kuala Lumpur we know today. Come for the food, stay for the history.
