This Mahjong-Themed Café In JB Will Make You Feel Like You're In A '90s Hong Kong Drama
Imagine you're on a date with Tony Leung.
If you're a fan of mahjong and yearn for a taste of Hong Kong right in Johor, 13Units Hong Kong Café will make you feel nostalgic, as if you're in a Wong Kar-wai movie
This retro café currently has two branches in Johor, one in Danga Utama and the other in Nusa Sentral.
The décor is charmingly eclectic, with its theme centred around everything mahjong
The pillows and lamps are adorned with the characters and symbols typically found on mahjong tiles.
Super cute!

But the highlight of the décor is this square table designed to look like a traditional mahjong setup.
This table is covered with a pane of glass, beneath which mahjong tiles are arranged as if you're sitting at a mahjong table ready for a game. But instead, you're just about to enjoy a delicious meal.
