Whether you're from Penang or not from Penang, as a Nyonya myself, I can endorsed that this nyonya restaurant serve the best by far the most authentic nyonya dishes. Some of the dishes they served are the "Tau Eu Bak", "Hong Bak" , "Perut Ikan", "Sambal Udang", "Otak-Otak".. and many more. Why I said it's good it's because the taste is "heavy" and the ingredients is thick enough. Some of the dishes served in other restaurant is very diluted and watery in the tast. If you're bringing friends from outstation, you should bring them here for a taste of the authentic ones. The Penang Nyonya food taste a bit different from the Melaka one as we have some influences from Thai where we uses alot of spices such as Kafir leaves which is one of the important ingrediants in Thai cuisine. Dont see my review alone, just try it, you will love it. BTW, you better make reservation if you have a big group since the restaurance space is not big. continue reading
