[2025 Kuala Lumpur Restaurant] Travel Guide for Old China Cafe (Updated May)

#springitinerary Stepping into Warong Old China in Kuala Lumpur feels like walking into a time capsule — one that blends warm heritage vibes with the comforting aroma of traditional Malaysian cuisine. Located in a charming corner of the city, this eatery captures the spirit of old Malaya, with antique furniture, vintage floor tiles, and faded portraits that add to its nostalgic allure. The menu is a homage to Nyonya and local kampung-style dishes, each served with authenticity and heart. I ordered their signature Nyonya Laksa and it did not disappoint — rich, aromatic, with a good balance of spice and coconut cream. What makes Warong Old China truly special, though, is the vibe. Soft traditional music plays in the background, the staff are welcoming without being overbearing, and there’s a certain calmness to the space — a rare find in the busy city. It’s the kind of place where you linger a little longer, sip your kopi o, and imagine stories from decades past. Tips: Come during off-peak hours to soak in the atmosphere. The restaurant can get crowded during lunch. If you're looking for a meal that’s not just tasty but also rich in heritage and soul, Warong Old China is worth a visit. It’s more than just food — it’s a warm journey into Malaysia’s culinary and cultural past.

Rating: ★★★★☆ Old China Café is a hidden gem in Kuala Lumpur, offering a taste of authentic Peranakan and Malaysian cuisine in a beautifully preserved heritage setting. The décor transports you back in time, with vintage wooden furniture, antique decorations, and a cozy, old-world charm. The Nyonya laksa is rich and aromatic, with a perfect balance of coconut milk and spices. The lemak Nyonya chicken is tender and flavorful, while the asam fish packs a nice tangy kick. Don’t miss their pie tee and otak-otak as appetizers. Service is generally friendly, though it can be slow during peak hours. Prices are reasonable, averaging around RM40–RM60 per person, depending on your order. The only downside is the limited seating, so it’s best to book ahead or come early. Overall, a great place to experience traditional Peranakan flavors in a charming atmosphere. Highly recommended for history and food lovers!

The fragrant aroma fills the air as you indulge in the freshest picks, making it a must-visit for an unforgettable durian experience right in the heart of KL! #favouriteitinerary

Kuala Lumpur Central Art Gallery, a shopping mall with local characteristics, brings together the traditional cultural features of Malaysia's various states. In addition to selling all kinds of handicrafts, souvenirs and silverware, you can also find handicrafts from other Southeast Asian countries. Amway, a restaurant with a Nanyang style in the Central Art Gallery, is not only delicious, but also suitable for taking pictures: the pcecious old china cafe on the second floor, and the search for the grandmother's family. The various decorations in the store are collected by the boss from all over the place. The stained glass and the old-fashioned screen are super-superior. It is said that the most expensive old thing is the wooden door of the toilet. Nyonya Xiaojin Cup and Durian fragrance are net red signature dishes, don't miss it!
