Anyway, basically there has been a proliferation of such establishments... kopitiam acquiring class and taste. Gone are the days of the single proprietor kopitiam where the proprietor (usually clad in the big shorts and white pagoda T-shirt) and his family run the kopitiam. You know when you order a Kopi-O, they'll holler your order and you actually hear your drink being made.... your drink being 'tarik'... these days all these are done more discreetly! Sometimes I wonder they tuang from a premix container....
Unlike the Old Town Kopitiam's which failed misreably. Incidentally, I was at Old Town recently for tea with a friend. Ordered the Kaya and Butter Extra Thick Toast (RM3.20) and guess what? Their 'butter' tasted like margarine. That's another thumbs down for Old Town... and I think I will try not to go there any more. Margarine for butter... patrons pay for butter but get margarine.
Food at GeorgeTown is so-so. Nothing to shout about. It's just another place to hang out, with wifi. But this wifi thing is beginning to be a norm these days. Drove past a carwash a few days ago, and they also have wifi.

Random Shots, location is important. Cafe 17 in front of SMJK Keat Hwa is doing a brisk business, especially after school and co-curricular activities.And also during school hours. Pack to capacity. In fact overflowing. The owner must be laughing all the way to the bank.Young people are given lots of pocket money to throw away.
Haha amused by ur 2-D and 3-D. But the colour of the curry chicken is slightly different.
from Wonderland.
Thomas: Young people today memang have a lot of money to throw around. Makes sense to open cafes near KH1... those kids got lots of money to spend cos how much they throw don't seem to burn any holes. KH1 is a goldmine.. even private colleges go there to canvas for students.
Wonderland... I figured if 3D looks as good as 2D, then it's okay.
Another trait that I am learning from you...carry my camera wherever I go. Not a habit, most of the time forget to take pics till the food is almost done. I like all these food blogs...you are quite a foodie.
Thanks Sia Mooi.. I started this blog more to encourage my kids to write... but in the process I found it a good outlet for a whole host of things.. rant and rave, jotting down the good times, the places that we've eaten... the sharing of lives... making friends, etc.... Happy Shooting!!!
now what wouldn't i give to be able to eat authentic cendol and nasi lemak.....?
PP... you can have authentic cendol and nasi lemak... from your kitchen. 8) Anyway, cendol here these days also has an artificial taste. The cendol that I had in this joint??? Well, I've tasted much better.
