PETALING JAYA (June 7): The 99-year old Coliseum Café at Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman (TAR), Kuala Lumpur has been closed down permanently this year due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The iconic restaurant, which served Hainanese western-style and colonial era food, was established in 1921. It was still in operation until March.
According to a report by The Malaysian Insight on June 6, the restaurant owner decided to close its almost century-old eatery at Jalan TAR when the tenancy of the cafe in a pre-war building next to the Coliseum Cinema expired.
“Yes, it’s closed for good. We are saddened that we can’t celebrate our 100th anniversary,” the restaurant franchise’s marketing manager Azrain Azman was quoted by the portal as saying.
He told the news portal that the restaurant business relied on dine-ins, so during the lockdown, the business was badly affected.
Meanwhile, Coliseum Café in Mid Valley Megamall and IOI City Mall have remained closed due to the ongoing movement control order (MCO), while the Plaza 33 outlet is operational but only for deliveries.
