A very simple looking dessert yet it’s so different from the version we have back in Singapore. Chef added dried longan that enhances the dish. Totally better and so very different. Super yummy!
A platter of spring rolls, lor bak, cucur udang & acar awak. An almost complete dish of Nyonya items. This is a good way to try out different Perenakan dishes. Chef Gaik Lean cooks it very well. Yummy!
We felt cheated that our chendol was so bad on the first day that most of us ordered it here to satisfy that craving. They served it with ice cubes. We forgave them on the account that flavour and texture wise, it was on point. Not like the heavily franchised one. Here the chendol was silky and the gula Melaka fragrant and the coconut milk just the way it should be. The pengat was good too. Overall, really happy with this find and highly recommend Auntie Gaik Lean’s for a Penang nyonya meal.
Here it’s steamed and there are generous chunks of fish inside. The rempah here was good and that’s the key to a good otah and the freshest fish, of course. So yummy. Again polished off in seconds
When you least expect it, this curry dish came and swept us off our feet. Really good, possibly one of the best I’ve had.
When I see kerabu pucuk paku on the menu, I will make a beeline for it. Well, this surpassed all expectations and everyone gave it their stamp of approval. So sedap!
Whilst most would not touch these stinky beans, one should give them a try. They are highly nutritious and good for health and after a few bites, it may just grow on you.
You can taste from the tangy gravy that no corners were cut in preparing this curry. Loved the mint and chopped Bunga Kantan which were added to it.
It’s becoming increasingly difficult to find this as its painstaking to source the local Malay herbs and chop them ever so finely. Served with a good sambal belacan here, we all enjoyed this with the rest of our Nyonya dishes
This came highly recommended by @theedisongeorgetown and it certainly lived up to expectations.
Sting ray curry, lor bak, jiu chai ho just to name a few! Tip: the nutmeg soda is really delicious and word has it our singaporean dignitaries have left their burps there too. 😂
