MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View
Bib Gourmand: good quality, good value cooking
This simple restaurant has been run by a married couple for over 15 years; Ivy helms the kitchen while her husband waits the tables. Besides à la carte, consider ordering from the sharing set menus that include their most popular Peranakan dishes. Kapitan chicken curry exhibits balanced taste and tender flesh; Joo Hoo Char, or stir-fried mixed veggies in chili paste, packs some serious heat. Reservations are recommended, especially on weekends.

Penang’s Peranakan cuisines — both Nyonya as well as Jawi Peranakan — are some of the earliest examples of cooking where different culinary cultures meet. They start influencing and counter-influencing each other until they’re all so braided, one simply can’t extricate the strands. Get to know more about the different Peranakans and their respective culinary styles.
