hide-out at the heart of Georgetown

well, since I am publishing this...it will not be a hideout anymore :( The location? can walk from KOMTAR/Lower Penang Road...it's just behind GAMA complex, 5 mins walk from the big screen in front of KOMTAR.

it's a great place for enjoying Chinese tea, having snack/real meal in a quiet and peaceful environment, and even for few puff (at the far end corner, see the 云烟厢signboard from inside as shown in one of the picture attached)...it's perfect for some real talk/conversation or just simply playing with the tea set inside an colonial era town house/bungalow (could be dated back to late 19th century), with two small gardens at both sides. Yes, you don't have to go to Melaka old town area to find one...there are still many in Penang, in good condition too...just look at the tiles...this is real. 

One does not have to kneel or sit on the floor to have all the fun. Food is good too at reasonable price. Had only tried the chinese tea 兰贵人(made from 高山茶) so far...pretty good and the 甘 taste will stay within one's mouth for a while. I am not a real tea expert, but do enjoy having this chinese tea. Had stayed for >2hrs in one occasion, and the owner or waiters didn't kick me out :) The decor is good with some bamboo outside, right beside the windows, yeah, good for window light shots of people. And another thing I like...I can park my car right in front of the cafe. Which is pretty rare in this part of the world...
