Review Pelanggan untuk Pantjoran Tea House

About the Place

Pantjoran Tea House is a restored old building at Glodok, the entrance of Jakarta's China Town and Kota Tua (Old Town). This building used to be the oldest pharmacy, Apotheek Chung Hua, established in 1928. After renovated it opens its door as Tea House where you can enjoy tea as well Chinese food and dim sum.
There are 8 green pots of tea at ground level that are served for free for the passer-by, to continue the tea drinking tradition at Pancoran area that began in 17th century by Kapitein der Chineezen (Chinese Captain) Gan Djie.
On ground level you can sit down while enjoying tea, it's not air-conditioned though, but if you go upstairs, the room is spacious and air-conditioned with lots of natural light and has classic Chinese coffee house interior.
Food

The waiters were attentive and quick to respond even though they only had 3 waiters on that day (second day Lebaran), but food took very long to prepare.
