Cafe Hopping In Georgetown, Penang (2) - Cafe With A Touch of Nostalgia Behind 50 Cafe 浓浓怀旧气息的五十号咖啡馆1/9/2014 There are many new cafes with interesting ambience and unique features to explore in Penang, especially with the cafe culture gaining much popularity over the last few years. Most of these quaint cafes managed by both locals and expatriates are located in the heritage enclave of George Town and it is definitely worth exploring on foot. In line with the latest hipster joints that have vigorously bloomed in places like the Klang Valley, Penang seems to be following suit, if Behind 50 can be taken as any indication. Behind 50 serves only dinner sets, as well as a few types of drinks; but the main attraction is undoubtedly its ambience nostalgic, rustic, and generally reminiscent of old-school Penang. Photographs of candid, humble Penang plague the recklessly scribbled walls, and the vintage gramophone sputters and crackles a vinyl record. And if you’re wondering, Behind 50 is named as such because it is located behind a building called ‘50’. 申遗成功后的乔治市与古迹相关的商业活动虽然不算快速发展, 但在乔治市范围内与古迹咖啡馆, 也是一家又一家地开. 这些咖啡馆除了古迹气氛与各有特色的餐单, 更令人留连的其实是咖啡馆里的人文氛围与人情味. 他们与乔治市及住在这座城市的人紧密相连. Behind 50 是间在槟城爱情巷 (Love Lane) 的主题餐厅, 装潢复古, 有 70-80 年代的风格, 墙壁上的摆设有旧古董电视机, 老式收音机, 唱片, 旧打字机, 上空还有错综复杂的藤制天花板装饰. 我很爱这里的风格, 真是一见钟情的那种. 总爱真实朴素又有质感的空间, 气氛超棒. 取名为 Behind 50 是因为这家餐厅是在爱情巷门牌 50 号的店面的后面. Behind 50不只是咖啡馆名字,也是南华医院街上这间临街小店屋的门牌,相信这是乔治市最特别的门牌之一. 还未踏入这家放式的餐厅, 我就被这散发着浓浓怀旧气息的餐厅氛围所吸引, 是天衣无缝的营造了那许多人回忆里的年代. 让我爱上槟城的其中一个原因是因为这里有太多特色的咖啡厅. Behind 50 看起来好像是一间扩建出来的单位, 其实不然. Behind 50 位于50号后面. 在二战之前, Behind 50是不存在的. 在日军入侵槟城后, 50号的后部被炸毁了, 原有的住户不知所踪. 二战时日本军砸坏了房子上半部. 战后英军查户口, 就分配了隔壁的门牌是 50 号. 战争结束后, 新的住户又搬进来, 被炸毁的部分重建, 与原来的50号分开来. 当时的殖民地政府重新登记门牌时, 看到50号后面住著另一户人家, 就把后面的门牌登记为 Behind 50. 这是店的招牌 3个人顶着一台相机, 是有特别意思的. 这名字很好听, 50后, 名字简单得来很贴切. 这家咖啡座晚上才开的. 这家开放式的店铺, 有个吧台长桌, 里头张怀旧的桌子椅子, 走的就是想当年的老咖啡店. 那木制的拉帘, 我觉得有种特别古老的味道 就像是旧时的店用来挡风雨, 艳阳的. Their creatively decorated ceiling with some old stuffs that make it so environment friendly. 客人特别共鸣的就是墙上的玩具, 这些玩具都是主人们小时候的宝贝. 看似很多人曾经拥有, 但现今还能保存得很好真难得. 最让我影像深刻的就是这些黑胶唱片, 听着这些旧曲把整个空间的气氛配合的恰好. 很喜欢这堵, 会说故事的照墙. 如今的 Behind 50, 是一个让生长在 70, 80 年代的人感到十分亲切的地方, 因为里头的摆主要以那个年代的旧玩具为主. 如果你走进来, 看到一个随意摆在架子上的玩具车, 你会有一种非常熟悉与亲切的感觉. 每一张照片, 都是岁月的见证. Behind 50 小小的空间里, 墙上长期都挂著一些摄影作品, 原来这是他们两三个月即换一次主题的摄影展. 拍摄者多数不是专业摄影师, 却从更生活化的角度展现槟城的不同风貌. Fancy their retro and vintage designed by their own creativity. I guess thats 's the trend nowadays where people love digging out some old stuff for deco. Some of their collectibles... Old cassette player, cameras, childhood toys, rusty bicycle, storybooks . . . 坐在这里, 各种儿时回忆像电影版一幕幕地浮现在脑海里. 这里, 有没有一些什么, 勾起了你的回忆? The music came from the old record player, simply special. Enjoy every minute spent at the cafe. 有杯子, 碗碟等等都是走怀旧风, 总之就是要你走入时光隧道, 放入来到了老时代一般. 在咖啡座里的一个角落还有一个小小的画展, 黑色的框框挂在墙上, 又呈现出另一种陈设艺术的美感, 顾客们或是摄影师都可将自己的作品放在那里展示. The rusty bicycle brought some old-school feel to the cafe. Undoubtedly the nostalgic ambience is the main attraction of all. 别看它这浓浓的怀旧气息, 上门用餐的, 不少都是80和90年后的年轻人哦! Though the cafe is air-conditioned (for the staggering Penang heat), it was a breeze sitting in and absorbing the nostalgic air. It was a cafe to experience the flavours and nostalgia of the '50s and 60s. The main drawing point for me, was the nostalgic decoration which attempts to bring forth a memorable dining experience.
坐在长桌那里, 看着街道上人来人往, 和三五知己聊天, 的确是一种享受. 来这里用餐, 除了食物, 更多是一种回忆. 如果你也想怀旧一番, 是不错的选择的餐馆之一.
