I'm Malaysian, and boy do I LOVE my Malaysian food. But, This restaurant absolutely positively was a massive disappointment. We didnt even finish our food. The only good tasting dish was the coconut rice. Everything else was bland or too greasy. We had the honey pork - 6/10. The kailan stir fried with garlic - 5/10, ju hu char 7/10, and some other non-memorable dish we didnt finish. So we thought, maybe the drinks would be OK. We ordered the masala tea. OMG. how can you mess up a Malaysian classic ?! Bland. 5/10. We also ordered two glasses of the house wine. It definitely had been opened for a few days and tasted off. I honestly didn't feel like there was anything 'authentic' about the food. I had just come from Penang where I had a fabulous dinner at a little Nyonya restaurant.... and Old China Cafe pales in comparison. I would not recommend this restaurant to any of my friends. And I certainly would never take my expat friends here as an introduction to Peranakan food!
