Heritage Uniquely Artistic Cafe- China House

Can you still remember your ex-high school mates' names?
Do you still remember who was the one sit beside you in the classroom? 
Maybe you are cracking your head now.
Why don't organize an ex-classmates gathering?
Here, try this heritage feeling cafe. Yup i meant one of the cafe in Penang Island.

CHINA HOUSE
3 heritage buildings that linked by an open air courtyard. I guess this would be the longest cafe i have ever been to. It had been divided into 14spaces comprising shops, cafes, restaurants, and multi-purpose theatre.

There are 2 entrances available. One is through Beach Street and another is through Victoria Street.
For me that day i walk in through the entrance at Victoria Street.
As you walk in through the entrance at V Street, the 1st section is the Canteen and Bar (12noon-midnight).


See the drums there? They have live music on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Then as you walk through, the 2nd section would be the Courtyard Cafe&Burger Bar (noon-11pm).
You can just relax in the outdoor backyard under those mango trees. 


The next section to discover is the Reading Room.
They have some magazines and books for your pass time and inhouse browsing. No borrowing i guess.


Next to the reading room is the Vine & Single and 14 Chairs.
They have a special wine selection but im not a pro kaki regarding wine. Anyway you all may discover your self ya.

The 14Chairs section is a unique concept. Some kind of private dining area. I manage to capture it as the door was open at the moment. Or else they will just keep it close. Lucky! 
This space available for rent for private parties and cooking schools.

Then, we came to the Beach Street Bakery (9am-midnight).
They prepared lots kind of muffins, biscuits, breads, pies and cakes. All made in the premises itself.



One of the cakes is a must to recommend is their Best Seller- TIRAMITSU
No doubt is a tasty one but for me, my personal opinion la. It is kinda sweet. If you can accept the sweetness then is all right. You will love it.


Then next to it will be the BTB & Restaurants (6.30-10.30pm).
They served western style dishes and some fusion one too. Erm, seem like i unable to capture that section. 
So sorry!.XD

Then the last section also the 1st section through the Beach Street entrance is the Kopi C.Expresso (9am-midnight).
An Australian style that serve breakfast all day.



While the upstairs of the Bakery area is the Art and Theatre. 
They provide space for art gallery, serve as an art platform . They are art lovers. If you are artistic kind of people then you may find it interesting.


Another thing that is unique regarding this cafe is that you can enjoy drawing on the table.
They prepare mahjong paper on every table and crayon as well. Do your drawing there.
Who knows maybe one day your drawing may be hanging on the wall. 
*Artistic*
Okay i admit that i am suck in drawing.XD
