Warm fuzzy nostalgia engulfed me the moment I walked into the retro-themed cafe. From the old rotary dial telephone to the vintage treadle sewing machine and the wooden box TV, everything on display was a reminder of the fond old times I had spent growing up in a kampung in the 1970s and 1980s.
My wide-eyed teenage daughter was equally smitten. She loves vintage stuff.
