Babaloft by Nyonya Delights in Section 19 PJ hasn’t been around for long – I reckon they were in business a few months before MCO. Jien and I have been wanting to try the Nyonya Laksa here, as we enjoyed the version from Nyonya Delights in Melaka. The interior is…
Nyonya
To eat at Richard Rivalee Nyonya Cuisine in Penang, you should arrive hungry. And you should always opt to dine with like-minded adventurous (and hungry) people. That is the only way you’ll get to indulge in Richard’s variety of Nyonya dishes – rich, spicy and a lot of them, coconut-laden.…
Mornings are not my best in general so I always try and sleep in during the weekends to make up for lost sleep during the weekday. Because of that, I missed out on trying the Nyonya nasi lemak at Restoran Sepetang thrice. Each time I get there by 10am, they’re…
Nyonya food is a common thing at my in-laws, where mum in-law would dish out delicious Peranakan dishes she learnt from her mother and mother in-law. I’ve eaten at several Nyonya restaurants and feel she makes most of the dishes better. That said, my father in-law told me about Kafe Lin’s…
Chinese New Year is an occasion I look forward to every year ever since I was a child. That was because I get to collect red packets from my relatives and it was one of that time of the year where I get to be a rascal and not get…
I was exposed to the world of Peranakan food since I got to know rif, whose father comes from Malacca and grew up the “Baba Nyonya” way. Meals at home comprise chicken pongteh, jiu hu char, ayam buah keluak, popiah, asam prawns and a whole lot more. Which is why…
While many establishments serve afternoon tea on a three-tier plate stand, I like how Casa del Rio serves theirs – in a tiffin carrier, often used in a Peranakan household. This was a nice change from the fancy afternoon teas I’ve been accustomed to – no frills, but accentuated by…
There’s plenty to like about Peranakan (Nyonya) cuisine, an amalgamation of Chinese, Malay and Portuguese influences in one cauldron. To date, the best Nyonya food I’ve tried still comes from my mother in-law’s kitchen. She makes delicious ayam pongteh, ayam buah keluak, popiah and Nyonya laksa, among many others. :)…
rif used to tell me what a great cook his mum is when we were dating. He would go on about how his mum makes really good Nyonya laksa, ayam buah keluak and pongteh, and that her popiah parties are legendary. They really are and everything is made from scratch…
People often ask me where they can find good Nyonya food in Melaka and to be honest, I didn’t really have an answer. That’s because I’m blessed to have a mother in-law who cooks good Nyonya food at home. But I got to try pretty good and authentic Nyonya dishes…
