Some good things are best left a secret because it won’t be long before others get wind of them. Such is the case with Sixty Nine Bistro, frequented by members of the arty and design-based crowd.

The outlet, located between the Times Square block on Jalan imbi and Pudu Jail, started business about Two months ago. It sits quietly in a row of old shop lots and if you drive too fast you might miss it altogether. Customers tend to look for the large potted plants and the few tables placed outside its red signage.

On the outside, the place looks like an ordinary stylish restaurant, but the atmosphere changes once you walk through its doors. The interior seems to be a tribute to the 1960s, with mod prints, artfully-designed furniture, beautifully intricate retro prints, vintage fabrics and several antique pieces.

Soft lighting give a romantic feel to the place, with translucent screens and plants used to divide the dinning area so that diners enjoy their own space and privacy.

To add to the cosy mood, old jazz standards are played in the background.This unique atmosphere and the eclectic mix of furniture and textures attract graphic designers especially to the place. The menu had expand to more choices of variety recently.

Besides that, 69 Bistro are well known of its horoscope and tarot card reading services.

入69 Bistro, 视线被眼前的景象打乱。一时之间,找不到目光的落脚点。与其说这是家餐厅,倒不如说,它是retro设计的展示厅。餐厅以半透视竹帘分隔成一个个小空间,每一个角落都自成一个世界。

靠门处,一张小茶几和两张矮圆椅懒躺在一小角落,等待互说悄悄话的小情侣消磨一个晚上。朝内走去,圆圈图案的竹帘背后,是两张四方桌子,两盏烛光和两个相约在周末谈心的友人。隔邻,mix & match 的沙发间在昏黄的灯光下闲置,也许入夜以后,会迎来三五知己。

往内走,往内走。发现,走在餐厅中,每一步,都是一个小小惊喜。放慢脚步细心观察,看似凌乱的空间,慢慢凑合,建构出69餐厅独树一格的格局。

69, 颠倒的两个符号,可以被解读为 [60 Night],也可以被解读为[巨蟹座的符号]。白羊座的老板 Wilson Chai 本身是一名广告设计师,对奢华艳丽的60年代,有着一份莫名的向往。店内每一个物件和每一个设计,都是他亲手mix & match 的成果。

餐厅营业的4年前,构思,搜索和改造的行动便开始在Wilson的脑子里和家中进行。他陆续收集60年代的事物,然后,像调酒师一样,根据他对60年代的想象和诠释,在餐厅中,调出60年代的情调。

那么,69 Bistro和巨蟹座又有什么关系呢?不说你不知,这是一家一星座为卖点的餐厅,餐厅一个隔间里驻扎着两位[星座王子],为客人作星座占卜。听说,王子还相当受欢迎。

Wilson相信,星座有一种神奇的能量,可以和人类的心灵相互感应。以巨蟹座的符号为餐厅命名,原因是巨蟹座的人有恋家的特质,而69餐厅走的是居家风格,务求每一个客人,都有[回家]的感觉。餐厅内的沙发间和一些窝心的小摆设,正是为家的感觉而设。
