A 1930s Shanghai fantasy behind a vintage won ton noodle stall facade, where feathered revues, a live band, and a strict dress code share the bill.
Suzie Wong hides behind a vintage won ton noodle stall facade at Wisma Lim Foo Yong, 86 Jalan Raja Chulan, and has staged its 1930s Shanghai fantasy since 2016. Red velvet curtains, birdcage chandeliers, and old Asian movie posters frame a stage running feathered revues most nights.
The format keeps shifting upmarket; the venue now promotes single seating dinner show nights with monthly table releases on its official site. The Yum List notes that although famous for its performances, the bar makes really decent cocktails.
Who would hate it? Anyone allergic to spectacle or a dress code. Long pants for men, no open shoes, and the bill climbs with the feathers.
One Tripadvisor reviewer described rich red velvet curtains, intricate lanterns, and walls covered in old school Asian movie posters. A second room runs as an English style whisky and cigar lounge, per The City List.
The house Suzie Wong mixes rum, gingerbread syrup, coconut water, and citrus, and the Chili Margarita carries the crowd vote in recent Tripadvisor reviews. Cocktails run RM44 to RM56 plus service.
Order before 9pm. Once the show starts, the waitstaff watch the stage like everyone else.
Date night tables, expats, and KL's after work cocktail set fill the floor from 8pm, peaking between 11pm and midnight, per Nocturnal Asia. The diva show runs early in the week; the live band and themed revues take Friday and Saturday.
