This former brothel has been remodelled to highlight the charms of Petaling Street. Bathed in plenty of natural light, the airy space is highlighted by a wall of floral murals and real trees growing on them, and interesting wooden and rattan furniture. The decor provides elements of whimsy and serenity that translates into gorgeous photos.
