Lately there has been a cafe resurgence around Malaysia. Initially the craze started (and still infecting the young minds) with boutique guesthouses & quaint cafes that can barely sit a dozen of customers in Penang, then the addiction spreads southbound towards the other states. Ipoh was not spared when Burps & Giggles, Jose & Deli and B.E.D. joined the fray of an ‘ancient’ industry dominated by old timers like First Coffee House, Rendezvous and Miner’s Arms. (By the way, only 1 out of the 3 mentioned is still “alive”)
Refurbished colonial bungalow into an elegant mansion that fits the Tea House bill perfectly. Can you imagine coming here on a breezy, lazy Sunday afternoon with a book in hand and a cup of tea in the other?
Latest to jump on the bandwagon is STG (acronym for Sabah Tea Garden) Tea House Cafe occupying a double storey bungalow off Gopeng Road in Chateau Garden in Ipoh. Let’s see how this fares against the likes of Indulgence and Secret Garden.
