This restaurant is just nice, not so yummy but still able to enjoy the food.I ordered the Ayam pongteh, where the chicken is quite tender and taste nice. This one is my favourite meals in here.Popiah is not bad. They use sweet sauce instead of spicy one. Cendol taste is just like any ordinary cendol. Nothing special but taste not bad.The service quite good as the waiter very efficient and quite attentive. The ambience quite nice as not too many people dine in.Price wise and value for money.

eatndine

The interior architectural style of 20th century.
Peranakans are descendants of early Chinese migrants who settled in Penang, Malacca, Indonesia and Singapore, inter-marrying with local Malays. The old Malay word nyonya, a term of respect and affection for women of prominent social standing, has come to refer to the cuisine of the Peranakans.
Authentic Peranakan Cuisine
The peranakan pride themselves in the preparation and presentation of their dishes. As a result, only the best ingredients and the freshest items are used to maintain its quality and authenticity. Authentic Peranakan cuisine sees the usage of many herbs and spices. The Malay influence is obvious with the existence of curries, "rendang" and "sambal belacan". It's usually hot and spicy Peranakan dishes use pungent roots like ginger and tumeric, aromatic leaves like kafir lime and mint, as well as candlenut, shallot, tumeric, galangal, coconut, onion and other spices
