the Little Nyonya Cuisine, Penang

A late late post but oh wells. So this time is about the food served in a country which shares similar kind of food as Indonesia, Malaysia. I was on a SHORT holiday trip to Penang where I found this lovely family restaurant called the Little Nyonya Cuisine in the Gurney Plaza.

This is where the restaurant can be found, the Gurney Plaza

Atmosphere wise, it was a typical family restaurant, bustling with people and gatherings. The place was quite large -- I would estimate that it could fit about 30++ people. I would really recommend those who love bustling and lively atmosphere to dine here; for those who do not or prefer not, I suggest you go to a cafe :)

Menu wise, this restaurant serves Peranakan food i.e. food that is influenced by Chinese and Malay cultures. Ranging from Curry to Nasi Lemak, this restaurant provides bountiful of choices. I had the chance to try its famous Melaka Kapitan Curry which cost RM 8.90; not too shabby for the huge portion I got. I would say the taste of the coconut milk was a tad too strong; milder should bring out more of the real spiciness of the Curry. That said, the chicken breast was tender and really chewable. Accompanied by freshly cut vegetables, the Curry, I would say, was appetizing.

The HUGE portion can feed two people!

Not to forget its White Coffee. As we would already have known -- if you don't, this is a good chance to expose yourself -- Penang is famous for its White Coffee. And as expected, the White Coffee served in this restaurant was really nice. At a price of RM 4.30, this coffee would wake the sleepy soul up with its not-too-creamy texture and strong flavour.

They do serve hot White Coffee!

 In a nut shell, given another chance, I would really love to visit this restaurant again to taste other food on its menu. To rate this restaurant, I would give 8/10 for its affordable yet good quality food served.
