In A Kopi Tiam Kitchen mural (6 December 2014)




In A Kopi Tiam Kitchen is a mural art by WK Setor in George Town, Penang. It graces the wall on an alcove within the The Boat Food Court, which is at the junction of Armenian Street Ghaut and Victoria Street.

I was shown the In A Kopi Tiam Kitchen mural by the artist WK Setor himself, when he took me around to visit some of his murals. The In A Kopi Tiam Kitchen depicts a scene within a Chinese coffee shop, where an elderly shopkeeper in his singlet and pajama bottoms is preparing kopi-o, while his granddaughter serves a cup of kopi-o with toast. By the side we see two young boys playing. The toddler appears to be reaching up his hands wanting to be taken up. In A Kopi Tiam Kitchen mural is meticulously detailed with various items in the old-style Chinese kopi tiam. Actual items such as a boiler, a grandfather clock and atin of Milo^TM are incorporated into the mural. You can place yourself into the scene and at a correct angle, seem to merge with the mural. Mr Setor himself demonstrated that in the photo below.
