Yowazzup? Food: Food Lover's Journey to Food Haven

Penang Nyonya as the name says serves Penang Nyonya food. Located on the first floor in AEON Bukit Tinggi Shopping Centre, Penang Nyonya is yet another restaurants serving Penang food ala Nyonya style. There is another Nyonya restaurant called “Nyonya Colors” on the same row.

Penang Nyonya’s Spring Rolls

Spring Rolls or “Popiah” in Malay, is usually fried to perfection and is a great delicacy. Spring Rolls at Penang Nyonya is no difference — it is crispy, delicious and served hot albeit a little oily.

Penang Nyonya’s Nyonya Nasi Lemak

Chicken Beef Set consists of a plate of rice (selection of either Briyani or Lemak), chicken or beef dishes, appetizer, dessert and a drink. Surprisingly, my selection of Lemak rice ends up the same as what my partner ordered — Nyonya Nasi Lemak and Penang Chicken Curry. I have to say the Nyonya Nasi Lemak is a disappointment. There is really nothing to shout about.

Penang Nyonya’s Penang Curry Chicken

Penang Curry Chicken is quite mediocre. It’s oily, the curry does not have enough santan and flavor and doesn’t seem to look appetizing.

Penang Nyonya’s Cendol

Cendol is perhaps the worst of the worst item on the menu. First off, the cendol does not come with red beans. This is the first time I eat cendol without red beans and I must say it is not very pleasing at all. There are tonnes of places that serve better cendol than here. In fact, all of them have better cendol and it is quite a disappointment to know Klang has a place which serves Penang Nyonya food has one of the worst cendol in the country, knowing that Klang also has one of the best cendols in Malaysia.

Overall, Penang Nyonya would be the last place on earth we would go to, ever. There are plenty of other restaurants in AEON Bukit Tinggi which serve better food at a better fare, why bother coming here?

The Nyonya food in Pakcik Cafe @ Kompleks Antarabangsa is quite decent. Now, Pakcik Cafe has introduced some set lunch in order to attract more customers. Its set lunch include the main meal, usually rice or noodles and a glass of drink (choose between barley, cincau or bottled water).

Pakcik Cafe’s Fish Fillet with Butter Sauce with Rice

Fish Fillet with Butter Sauce with Rice is unexpectedly delicious. Usually, we get butter chicken, but butter fish? Surprisingly good.

Pakcik Cafe’s Potato Chicken with Rice

Potato Chicken with Rice is a decent dish especially if you love potatoes. The chicken tastes quite pleasing.

Pakcik Cafe’s Cincau and Barley

The Cincau and Barley comes with the set. You can also opt for bottled water if you want. The Cincau is quite alright but the Barley? Taste like they have added too much water in it.

• Fish Fillet with Butter Sauce – RM 9.70

Nyonya Colors is a place which serves nyonya food and is located in AEON Bukit Tinggi Shopping Centre.

Nyonya Colors’ Mee Siam with Honey Chicken

Mee Siam with Honey Chicken is marvelous as it is unusual to pair off mee siam with a sweet dish like honey chicken. However, with honey chicken sweetness, saltiness and spiciness of the mee siam, Mee Siam with Honey Chicken is really satiating.

Nyonya Colors’ Yellow Curry Laksa

Meanwhile, Yellow Curry Laksa is uniquely in yellow (like the name of the dish) and consists of pumpkins!

Nyonya Colors’ Fresh Lime + Sour Plum

Fresh Lime + Sour Plum is good to go with the delicious nyonya food in Nyonya Colors.

Price

• Mee Siam with Honey Chicken – RM 8.90
• Yellow Curry Laksa – RM 8.90
• Fresh Lime + Sour Plum – RM 3.30

Right in the ground floor of Kompleks Antarabangsa, just outside Shin-Nichi Japanese Restaurant is Pakcik Cafe which serves Nyonya Food is quite popular during lunch hour on working days.

Pakcik Cafe’s Dry Chili Chicken with Rice

The Dry Chili Chicken with Rice is quite alright considering the affordable price.

Pakcik Cafe’s Sweet & Sour Chicken with Rice

The Sweet & Sour Chicken with Rice is not bad. Quite edible, really.

Pakcik Cafe’s Fresh Lime Juice and Local Coffee

The Fresh Lime Juice might not be the best ever lime juice, although the coffee is slightly alright — what more do you expect for just RM 2.00 for each of these drinks?

Overall, the food are good enough for your weekly lunch, but I don’t suggest you to make it a daily visit. The food is fine, but the service is horrible. If you ever drop by Pakcik Cafe, make sure you come early as the tables are usually all taken by 1pm.

Price

• Dry Chili Chicken with Rice – RM 6.90
• Sweet & Sour Chicken with Rice – RM 6.90
• Local Coffee (Cold) – RM 2.00
