Coffee, Cakes & Charlie Chaplin

Charlie Chaplin (1889-1977) of the silent era movie fame is celebrated at the eponymous Cafe located at the One City Mall in Subang Jaya. His iconic screen persona of 'the Tramp' welcomes you into the cafe and is stamped on plates, serviettes, etc. The black and white decor lends an old-time ambiance to the place. You can watch some black and white films* of Charlie Chaplin while sipping some delicious coffee and savouring delectable cakes. But of course you have to be sitting at just the right tables for this.



*Some of Chaplin's movies include: Making a Living (1914), The Kid (1921), A Woman of Paris (1923), The Gold Rush (1925), The Circus (1928), City Lights (1931), Modern Times (1936),  The Great Dictator (1940), Monsieur Verdoux (1947), Limelight (1952), A King in New York (1957), A Countess from Hong Kong (1967).



The menu at the Charlie Chaplin Cafe includes more than just coffee and cakes of course, but that was what we had when we were there recently.
PS. B & A, remember the time you both were in 'the Tramp' lookalike competition years ago? Heheh!
