2002 Cyber City

2002 CYBER CITY

Dine like it’s 2002 … today!

It wasn’t a particularly remarkable year but for a lot of us 2002 conjures up many fond memories.

These couches make sense here.

Late night (closes at 2am) dinners in the Valley with friends. A casual and relaxing atmosphere. The garish but entirely appropriate décor. A projector showing the latest Hong Kong movie or television serial.

They know what the customer wants.

Awe at the size and cost of their beer. Pint-sized bottles tower above food and man as they survey their domain. One must pay respect to Tsing Tao while one is within their mecca.

Like the couches, these somehow make sense here.

Let us not forget their lesser beverage disciples. Hot Coke in shiny drummugs (you must insist that it’s “Hot” Coke). Almost as imposing as their Tsing Tao masters, albeit for entirely different reasons.

Floor space 50%

Only Asians seem to care about arcades.

They actually have a few of these machines.

Part pool hall, arcade and lan cafe. Cyber City is huge as it was once a food court. Unfortunately the food court failed (rumoured to have suspiciously) but thankfully it’s now crammed full with entertainment.

Super efficient service and delici… wait a second, where’s the food? Let’s just say that if looks were an indicator of quality, well, imagine this instead – mountainous dishes of food that will visibly move you (once you realise that it will eventually be inside you). A seemingly endless selection (7 pamphlet pages worth) of delicious concoctions at a cost-effective price. Sure these dishes aren’t entirely authentic to the library of Asian regions they’re native to, but it doesn’t matter. You will not leave hungry and unsatisfied. In fact you will feel like you are about to explode.

It this appeals to you, go back in time, to 2002, in 2009.

    With so much going for it, I wonder why the founders of this late-night Valley institution had so little faith in it’s potential as to choose such a remarkably non-futureproofed name like 2002 Cyber City. I hope to find this place still crisply frozen in time when I get back!

    Need a claw machine expert. That is if those haven’t been programmed with a low percentage.

    Still my favorite place in the Valley. If I had all the money back I’ve given the claw machines there, I could buy a Porsche.
