If it’s authentic Hainanese dishes you’re looking for, this is one place that offers that. Along with Nyonya Peranakan cuisine that Penang is famous for. This is a type of cuisine that can found only in Malaysia
The restaurant is located in a pre WWII Unesco Heritage building.
We had beef rendang, an assam curry fish dish, kang kung ( a type of local vegetable ) stir fried with shrimp in sambal belacan and Jiu Hu Char.
Stir-Fried Jicama with Cuttlefish and Mushroom is better known as “jiu hu char” in northern Malaysia Hokkien. It is a very popular dish among northern Malaysian Chinese. This old-time flavour dish will always be served during festival celebrations or ancestral praying.
Food was excellent but priced at a premium... would still highly recommend the place.
