Penang Nyonya Cuisine

I have been waiting for someone to set up a Nyonya restaurant in Klang Town until recently I
discover one in Centro Building called Ah Tuan EE Penang Nyonya restaurant. It is a shopping lot on the ground floor of the building decorated with simple decor and some photographs of baba and nyonya and their custumes.
The food served is authentic nyonya dishes and the dishes we chose are tasty , spicy and and
looked good for people who fancy spicy food. Lets take a look at the photos that I have taken.


This dish is called Perut Ikan which consists of 12 types of herbs like, serai, daun kesum,
daun kadok, daun perut, bunga kantan to name a few and vegetables such long beans, brinjal
and pineapple cooked for a long time in a spicy sweet and sourish soup with prawns and pickled
fish maw added. This dish turns out to be very tasty and aromatic because of the herbs. It is
good.


Green Chicken Curry - A spicy green aromatic curry. The green curry comes from green chillies blended with spices and cooked in coconut milk to give a rich gravy. The gravy is thick,
fragrant and tasty. You can eat it with rice or maybe bread.



This is Joo Hu Char or simply shreded turnips fried with shredded dried cuttlefish and shredded
mushrooms. We normally eat this vegetable dish wrapped with chinese lettuce leaves and a
little sambal added to give the 'oomph' or 'kick' literally. It is very interesting and you get to
use your fingers all messed up. Nice, very nice.


Here comes desert - Penang Rojak, simply, mixed fruits with prawn paste sauce. Fruits such as
turnip, pineapple, cucumber, star fruit, mango, guava, any fruits that you like can be used.
The sauce is sweet, saltish and aromatic and most Malaysians love this desert.
