Good Ol' Days Restaurant
This restaurant is part of the restaurant chain owned by Unique Seafood (PJ) Sdn Bhd. Heard of Pantai Seafood @ Kayu Ara? Well, it's the same owner la. Located just next door to Pantai Seafood, Good Ol' Days is their newest member. A colleague of mine brought a group of us to Good Ol' Days for a weekday lunch, and I went back there on Saturday night, with hubby and my mum :P

The main entrance of Good Ol' Days. Parking during the weekend is a real bitch.

There were people lingering around the outside of the restaurant when we arrived at 7pm++. All waiting to be seated I guess (take note: make reservations if you're coming with a big group). The building materials used were nothing really fancy. Mainly steel, metal and zinc. Wood was used extensively though, the owners were obviously trying to recreate the olden days feel of yesteryears. The open area outside of the restaurant has some cement animals (a buffalo, some pigs and ponies, an old tv cabinet and some porcelain wine jars. Think olden days China ala Wong Fei Hung era :D (somewhere along that line lah!)

Good Ol' Days menu

Their menu is printed on paper. If you come during a weekday where there's no crowd, I guess their staff can help you with the ordering, and probably even recommend some dishes. But because it was a weekend (and dinner time), you gotta figure out what you want to eat and check the boxes. Prices here are pretty reasonable, and you have quite a wide variety of dishes. A lot of pork dishes, haha! Good for pork lovers ;)

The interior of the restaurant. Note the waiter in olden days attire.

Usage of bird cages and kerosene lamps to recreate the olden days feel. Except for the TV on the upper floor, ceiling fans and air-conditioning.

Some stall-like setups. The one of the left offers "siew yuk" while the one on the right offers herbal drinks.

No cups here. You drink from a bowl, just like the olden days :)

On of their signature dishes: Braised pork leg with black beans and vinegar (zhu-giok-chou).

This is confinement food, hehe! But also eaten as a regular dish. I think they did the dish pretty well, goes well with rice. At RM12, I think it's pretty all right :) Hubby's not really into this dish, he thinks it's the vinegar, ehehehehehe! I know some men absolutely lurve this dish.

Steamed chicken with black fungus and golden mushrooms.

This dish, I felt, was so-so only. I'd preferred it with more chinese wine :P It's also one of their signature dishes. Priced at RM 15. On the upper left corner is what's left of the potato leaves dish. All their vegetables dish are priced at RM 8, and you have a choice of having it stir-fry, with oyster sauce, with soft beancurd (fu-yu) or with belacan.

Braised noodles with shredded chicken and shrimps

This noodle dish was pretty good, and quite a generous helping. I reckon 2 people can share it. At RM 8, ok ma if 2 people share.

Our total bill for 3 pax was about RM 45. Pretty reasonable hor? The total is not including the plate of peanuts and tissue wipes, I would normally ask the waiters to take them all away. Overall, Good Ol' Days is another option if you want relatively good and reasonably priced food. Service was a little clumsy in some parts, perhaps due to the crowd. The dishes are not astronomical la, but they do have merits :)
