I miss those old time when my mama processed own raw “perut ikan”. Mama will cook a big pot of perut ikan with lots of ingredients, like “perut ikan”, pineapple, brinjal, long bean, prawns, “lun kar do”, and of course the sour spicy fragrant soup base with lots of bunga kantan. Mouth watering now.
I like Nyonya food very much. Will figure out this restaurant.

Little Inbox – I too miss my MIL receipe for the perut ikan dish. She used to marinate the fish and keep it in the glass bottles … looks weird and geli but once its cook, it is so fragrant and tasty.

Still harbouring over her version that has so much perut

Sweet Jasmine -that’s true… looks like not many of us manage to pick up the cooking skills from our mum…no time and no patience.

At least we did enjoyed real authentic food cooked by them when we were young.

Cool… at least I know how the interior and food list are. Quite typical Nyonya food I can see here. I went there twice for dinner but the main door was closed without any vehicles as well. Maybe they had not open for business yet. I will try the food there soon. Thanks for sharing

p/s: when you plan to go for the magic show?

Looks nice. Just a suggestion though, have you ever thought about embedding a google map that shows the location of the restaurant at the end of each blog? I know sometimes you have pictures of business cards which show the location but most of the time there are no such pictures. Might be helpful for those people who are not too familiar with the area.

I was recommended by my friend to these few restaurants Perut Rumah, Nonya Breeze, Mama’s & Hot Wok for nonya food.
Eventually we opted to go to Perut Rumah & Hot Wok due to the atmosphere. Both of these restaurant has the ambiance,decor & both restaurant food tasted very good & authentic. We went to Nonya Breeze at first but we didn’t like what we saw, the restaurant decor as like those Hong Kong Wan Tan Mee Shop and then Mama’s its like a Phuket restaurant, my frens told me we should go to other nonya restaurant, so i hope these nonya restaurants could give them a sense of culture n ambiance to their food they are serving.
Its like you need to have the enviroment n the mood. N we luv this blog very much. We went to plenty of food stalls in Penang that we didn’t know it exsists.

Hi,

If u wouldnt mind eating in a coffee shop, then I suggest a small nyonya food store at Farlim opossite Shell and Petronas petrol station, the food is awesome and cheap, would beat most of the restaurants above. The cook is an old auntie who specializes in Nyonya food.
