Guess u all still in the cny festive mood, i 've been sore throat and coughing for few days =X maybe i ate too much " bak gua " ( dry meat cut piece ) .
Today i would like to share with u , my 1st visit experience at Ma-ma Nyonya food restaurant . ( invited by Tony johor kaki ^^ )
During Lady boss Grace prepare the food for us, i still exploring the restaurant =p
I noticed they also provide catering services, min. 35 pax =)
Inside the restaurant, is full of traditional item
Real nyonya photo
Nyonya special container (pronounce as " gam qing " )
inside " gam qing " got golden fish picture
The first dishes Grace bring us is curry chicken =)
1) KAPITAN CHICKEN ( ONE OF THE BEST SELLER )
The taste is nice, neither too spicy nor too sour, meat is tender . Grace told me that Southern nyonya food tend to indonesia style. If Penang nyonya good will more to thailand style. =) . Ii doesnt feel thirsty at all after try this dishes , i found the food flavour naturally come from the spices eg.cinnamon , rather than the ajinomoto ~
2) ROTI JALA WITH CURRY CHICKEN
+
=
Roti jala need to go with the curry chicken , simply eat the roti jala will feel too plain ~the curry chicken is not too spicy , i like it =)
3) BUAH KELUAK CHICKEN ( Recommend for nut lover )
this is the buah keluak ( indonesia nuts ) , original flavour is bitter nut flavourand " siap siap " one . However Grace mention she has marinated the buah keuak with the chicken , prawn , sugar , therefore it has effectively reduce the bitter flavour ^^ I love the nut favour
If wanna taste good , t his dishes have to go with plain rice + " curry gua " + buah keluak =)
4) FRIED LOTUS WITH PETAI( Special create dishes by Grace )
The lotus is crispy and thick, never knows if go with petai and shrimp , the taste so good ~
5) NYONYA STEAM FISH
The lemak taste come from the ginger flower
6) VARIETY KUIH-MUIH
I will strongly recommend you the fried crispy yam cake and the yellow colour pumpkin kuih . At first, i just wanna try abit , and after that my blogger kaki Jason , saw me didnt talking at all just keep eat the yellow kuih in silent mode . lolz >.<
The blue one is kuih ketayap must go with the kaya =)
7) CENDOL
hmm if you are a brown sugar lover , you will addicted to it ~ i love the pure cocunut milk with the strong brown sugar . It taste so different with the Malay style cendol .
Grace show us they receive the recommended on trip advisor sticker , kinda surprise and happy to saw this ~personally feel their food and the effort put in , really worth for this honor ^^
Conclusion:
all of us is so full after trying so many dishes, and i really admire Grace . She is so hardworking, most of the dishes and kuih muih is self made. Even the sauces also got different kinds for different nyonya dishes. Kinda appreciate her work. ^^
