I have a theory that hidden somewhere in Malaysia, there is one secret factory or company that owns the sole rights to produce dining equipment for all the kopitiams in Malaysia. And by kopitiams, I don't mean the traditional Chinese coffee shops, but those newfangled modernized kopitiams with free wi-fi where people go in with there with their laptops so they can look cool in front of people they don't know. That includes me sometimes, but I have an excuse coz' my internet at home sux to the max. These places have different names but all look pretty much the same. Don't believe my theory? Let us view the evidence and then play a little game.
Exhibit A: Old Town Kopitiam, Taipan USJ
Exhibit B: Old TASTE Kopitiam, Taipan USJ
Exhibit C: Hainanese Kopitiam, Taman Tun Dr. Ismail
The game now is to Spot the Difference. What differences do you see? Far as I can tell, only the uniforms of the workers are the three shops differ. Other than that, everything else is the SAME.
All three shops have huge pics of food and the menu displayed above the counters.
The drinks and food counter at all shops is out in the open for everyone to see.
The chairs are the SAME!
The round tables are the SAME (Old Town has some square ones though. Whoop de doo)!
The lights are the same!!
Even the tissue boxes look the same!!!
So now I'm wondering of all these kopitiam owners are really so unoriginal, or are they trying to ride off the success of the 'original' modernized kopitiam by making it all look the same?? Which one is the original one now I also dunno, though I suspect it is Old Town. -_-
