Another week has passed by..another visit to a new place..With a cosy and homely ambiance, China House brings you a variety of 40 types of cakes, a selection of breakfast, lunch,dinner and drinks on the menu..


China House is a traditional pre-war shop house being converted into cafe, gallery and theatre..located at the Heritage Walk in Penang..China House was previously located at Stewart Lane with the well-known name of Kopi Cine behind the Goddess of Mercy Temple, however, they are now situated at a new location at Beach Street..
