KUALA LUMPUR: In the heart of the city, several traditional coffeehouses function as a nostalgic refuge amid the city’s relentless modernisation.
Lin Kee Hua, 76, has been a stalwart of Capital Cafe in Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman since it opened in 1956. He now helms the beverage section, while his nephew, Lin Siong Yong, 21, assists at the counter, learning the ropes.
