Big Lau | Opium Coffee
============================================
Another interesting short documentary about Opium Coffee that once famous for the oldies in Kuching town because it hits close to home. I remember when i was still little girl - sometimes my fader [Read: Father] will bring me [with or without my brother and mother] for breakfast, his late-uncle sometimes will tagged along in the car but infrequently joined us.
He is that time already in his 60s, was a sailor during his young-age and he can speak chinese!
Usually my fader will drop him somewhere at Central Police Station before we proceed to go breakfast somewhere at Pasar Ceko [I ever blog about it few years back, Read about it here]
My fader will then pick him up after that at the exact spot.
Anyways, i didnt know exactly about the Opium Coffee - never really heard about it but i only curious my fader's late-uncle always go 'lepak' there. I heard about him saying about craving for coffee to my fader before he drop off, but i was too young to ask about it. After years gone by i totally forgotten about it until 13 October 2018!
Thank you to Mr Director Lau of BIG LAU Studio 大刘工作室 for answering my long-overdue question. LOL!
So it's the Opium Cafe hidden somewhere at the back alley of Central Police Station area.
