Housed since 1920 in a two-story building at 11 Jalan Balai Polis in Chinatown, Old China Cafe channels Straits Chinese Peranakan heritage through both its food and its setting. Walls covered with photographs from the Nanyang era, antique Baba Nyonya furniture, and pressed tin ceilings transport diners to colonial-era KL. The Nyonya and Peranakan dishes are the main draw, with coffee served in the traditional kopitiam fashion alongside a remarkable living piece of Chinese-Malaysian history.
