Original Penang Kayu Nasi Kandar is an institution in Penang. This Mamak shop is great for a meal.
Aromatic, spicy, thick gray together with a thick cut around the leg. Well done and tender, what more could I ask for?
Nyonya Willow serve some really authentic peranakan food, though the choice from their menu is not much but those available is good enough to get your Nyonya food craving fix.
Here's the location. They'll be moving to somewhere near Arang Coffee in August 2017.
Nyonya Willow is definitely one of the most secretive cafes/ restaurants, not only that it does not have any signage, it is nestled in a terrace house... within the secluded neighborhood of Taman Tunas Damai (Bayan Lepas). As the name might have hinted, Nyonya Willow runs like a private kitchen, in a residential. The menu changes regularly- depending on what they could source for the day, the dishes vary. It offers some Nyonya delights as well as some favorite Malaysian delicacy such as Nasi Lemak. All ingredients are prepared in house. The setting is homey as well and might not be too accommodating for larger groups. Prices are however, veering towards the higher side but given the fact that they cook in a small scale and every dish is home-cooked, the price is justifiable. Taman Tunas Damai is near to the newly operated SMK Heng Ee Bayan Lepas branch or where Honda Car Service center is located.
Here's the location.
The size is really big, it is enough for two person, it taste good but it is a bit sweet.
rasa Char Koay Teow Basih di sini, sedap !
To present a homely Nyonya atmosphere, the dining area is decorated with classic Nyonya ornaments such as traditional attire, porcelain ware and tiffin carriers.
While both Penang and Malacca are known to have Peranakan descendants, the culture can be totally different and that... includes the food too. It's quite uncommon for Peranakan restaurants to serve Malaccan-Peranakan food but this newly opened Peranakan Passion has decided to take a leap of faith. Flip the menu and you will notice quite a few Peranakan dishes that are not common to Penang (otherwise in Malacca)- Ayam Pongteh, Ayam Buah Keluah, Itik Tim etc; the second thing that might strike you would be the price points.... a little higher than usual. But the air-conditioned cafe has a decent setup- comfortable and homey, with some Peranakan elements adorning the walls. We have managed to try a few signature dishes on our visit; while we could not find any fault with the dishes, we did not think they were impressive... probably we have got accustomed to the local Penang Peranakan flavors.
Overall, the food here is good and their service is good too.
The food here is simple and the taste is still acceptable, though it is not something to shout for but adding Nööödles to my food list means having another place to eat while i wait for my flight at Penang International Airport.
Don’t forget to bring your family and friends to enjoy this Halal Chinese food soon.
The food here taste good especially their Wanton Noodle but the serving is not big if compare with the Sweet Lemon Chicken Chop which come with a bowl of rice, the Chicken Chop is a lot.
I like the curry, it has the Malaysian curry taste not like those Japanese or Korean type of curry.
In terms of taste, it is just average.
