The Ol' Skool/CJ's Saga

Whoops. That was a long break, wasn't it? We had quite a bit happening actually and it looks like the smoke has somewhat cleared in the PJ area.
At Jalan Gasing's Ol' Skool Bistro, there was a management hustle going on over the last few months, but it hit the 'selesai' factor a week ago and CalvinG (who's been away in Sabah, opening another nightspot apparently) is back managing Ol' Skool.
His managing partner (the vindaloo chef, no less) is moving out, lock, stock and barrel, and (Insyallah) should be headlining at what has so far been Talking Heads.
The new name - either CJ's or CeeJay's, depending on what the numbers man says.
CJ, who celebrated his birthday and farewell last Tuesday, says that his new nightspot (located in Section 11, PJ, opposite Univeristy Hospital) will also feature live music everynight.
For the record, while CalvinJ was over in Sandakan getting his new place organised, CJ took overv the reins at Ol' Skool Bistro which was kinda running out of steam and got things rocking and rolling again.
Working on feedback from the patrons and musicians, he got things sorted out and well, Ol' Skool Bistro's getting packed again.
It's a formula he will be using again at his new outlet in Section 11.
Well, stay tuned to this and we'll keep you posted on what the music package is gonna be at both Ol' Skool and CJ's new lock, stock and two smoking barrels.
Take care.

  2. Welcome, anonymous. And to Kiko200sg, Talking Heads is located on Jln 11/2 Petaling Jaya. Turn right at the EPF cutoff from the Federal Highway, go straight across the highway, and take the second on the left. Then, go straight up that road until you come to Talking Heads obn your left; same row as Crown Crystal Cafe. CJ's is not open yet. Probably around mid-March.

  3. Hullo, anonymous. Catch up for a beer? Thanks for the invitation but my religion doesn't allow me to drink. It's like your poster at Ol' Skool Bistro, brudder: "Don't drink and drive. Smoke and fly!" Ha ha! See you soon ... even if you don't see me!
