Disappearing Sibu: Khiaw Hin Coffee Shop

One of the oldest coffee shops in Sibu will be relocated to another site.

The land is owned by the Sarawak  Chinese Association of Churches and has two buidings, the Methodist Book Room and the coffee shop. In order to make way for a new block, and expansion, the two buildings would be demolished.

This coffee shop was established in the 50's or for as long as I can remember. It served as an extended living room for many mothers who waited for their children, especially from the kindergarten.

The coffee shop operators served breakfast, lunch and even dinner in the most friendly way possible. The  Methodist Church had also found the coffee shop very convenient as it catered for their needs from time to time.

It is sad to see this old place gone.
