    📌 Reservations are highly recommended, especially when traveling with family, to ensure a comfortable seat. | The plum prawns and stir-fried pork belly with salted shrimp paste are incredibly flavorful and a perfect accompaniment to rice.

    This is a highly-rated Peranakan restaurant in Penang. Judging from the decor, many celebrities have dined here. The owner is very welcoming, and on her recommendation, we ordered meat rolls, stir-fried wild vegetables, and curry chicken.

    A family type traditional Nyonya restaurant hiding in the town centre. Well favoured food with some twists from the cook. Must try the assam fish, it is Penang style of Nyonya dish. Price is reasonable and the owner is very friendly.

    2nd time here and we made the right choice. The Assam fish was super! I wish I could just finish the Assam soup. The kiam chai boey is another dish we ordered.

    The flavors are all very rich, with a strong sweet and sour taste, which is more suitable for the Jiangzhe region.
