restaurant
Restoran Central
Taiping, Malaysia
The huge dining room is host to a few street food stands that sell fish head soup, steam buns, and flat fried noodles. More than the food, come for the atmosphere. The room is decorated with old Chinese paintings of samurai wielding swords, beautiful girls being wooed by kings in a garden of flowers and symbolic phoenixes. The owner speaks little English but he tried his best to explain that although this isn’t a museum he is a fierce collector so it is almost like a gallery. Restoran Central has been featured in several Chinese newspapers noting the extensive collection of antiques, but as of yet this little gem has never been mentioned in an English travel guide.
