Cowboy Door at Nostalgic Restaurant

This is an old restaurant that I know a cowboy door is still existing, Sin Seng Hin at Clare Street. The entire shop seems to be maintaining it's original design and the interior would make you feel like living in 1950's-60's. Although I have not visited the restaurant, so I do not have any idea about the food, but I love its nostalgic appearance.

Update: I've shot this hotel and bar in 2011 but left it on the HD untouched and forgotten. My JPG was made on a Panasonic camera in 2011, so it didn't come with GPS. After some reverse image search it I came to this page. It looks like you're the only other person on Google Images who has photographed this shoplot.
Anyway, for those who don't know, this is what happened to Sin Seng Hin. https://maps.app.goo.gl/EnwAU71PFQFPpejf7
