Located at The Row, this vintage-cool Nyonya eatery serves up dishes and desserts at a price point most people will be happy with. Their cendol and sago gula Melaka are must-tries. If you like brinjal, you’d love their terung kukus that comes with sweet roasted chilli sauce. Also commendable: pai tee, laksa and fried fish with sambal.
Peranakan or Nyonya food is quite possibly the original fusion food of this country, if not the region. The intermarriage of Chinese traders and local Malays in the colonial days has produced a vibrant, unique culture and cuisine, where both Chinese and Malay cooking techniques, flavours and ingredients are intermixed, thus creating a cuisine that is complex in execution and robust in flavours. When you need to get your fix of pai tee, inchi kabin (Nyonya fried chicken) or ayam buah keluak, head to these top Nyonya restaurants in Petaling Jaya and Kuala Lumpur.
