Straits Collection visited

Actually visited the Straits Collection quite a while ago, yeah procrastination ... Well, here it is the old style ( 1940s) coffee shop serving food in old style ambiance.


Straits collection front facade , I wish the cars weren't park there, it would be timeless.


A brochure of Straits Collection.

Located at the intersection of Steward Lane and Lorong Chulia, Straits Collection is not just a coffee bar, it also serves as a hotel.


Ordered cafe latte and tit bits including scones.

Cafe Latte for RM9.00


Mezze Plate, if not mistaken, is Hummus, Eggplant Dip, Feta Dip, Tzatziki, Dukka & Olive Oil served with Pita bread, going for RM22.

I didn't quite enjoy the dips, instead used olive oil and butter as substitute.


Pita Bread with dips.


A small table by the corner.


This reminds me of the old charm of sliding door.


Scones with cream cheese, butter and strawberry jam. Having just tried Joel Robuchon's scones these lacked the milky and butter taste.


Retro styling with my new try on sepia tones. The place is truly retro old style, so no air-conditioning.


Procrastination ... I have forgotten what this drink is ...


This used to be the kitchen, the stove, to be precise.


The reading room with books. The old decor retained.

(Best of 5 stars)
Food quality: 3.0 stars ( Food quality just okay )
Service: 2.5 stars ( Service can be improved, service is slow even without lots of customers )
Food portion: 3.0 stars ( Good, can be better if it is larger a bit )
Value: 2.80 stars ( Nice ambiance, air conditioning would help. )
