The tastes and aromas of a heritage recipe can satisfy the appetite, comfort the heart and awaken memories, especially if they remind you of your mother's or grandmother's cooking. With their aprons on and their tales ready, our team of passionate Baba an

This is the 2nd time that I have dined at Nyonya Su Pei Private Dining. For me, a Penang visit is not complete without having a visit here. From 2 years ago, the place is still the same, homey and very pleasant. I admire Baba Jerry for the passion he has for the Peranakan heritage dishes and his desire for it be known to all his diners. At the same time, I salute him for the dream to pass down this heritage to the next generation, a generation heavily exposed to fastfood dining. I wish him the best on this aspect.I salute this husband and wife team who have the same degree of passion to what they do. It shows in their dishes that all of are made with love. As each dish is served, I am truly in awe to learn how they are made. Baba Jerry is very much eager to share what comprises the dish and how they are cooked. Oh... if only all the ingredients can be purchased in the Philippines. For this visit, I came with my friends, husband and youngest daughter. Baba Jerry was kind enough to caution if the dish is spicy so my daughter be fairly warned. She was able to taste most of the dishes and liked very much the 5-spice roast chicken (which Baba Jerry described as special dish that requires 2 days to make!), we truly feel very special.I hope to be back again next year and try their new offering. I will always be excited for the meals they will prepare and eagerly listen to how they are made.Again, thanks to your hospitality and making us feel at home. You are not only our host but you have become our friend and family in Penang.

The Chinese cooking is blended with local style and is unique in Malaysia. Localised casual Chinese food. The service is fast. The food such as the sambal chicken, steam fish and fried Kai lan are good. The price is reasonable for Batu Ferringhi area. Many westerners also patronise this restaurant which is housed in simple tin roof with open concept.

We ate here multiples times during our stay in Penang. The restaurant is open for lunch and dinner which we found convenient compared to other places with limited opening hours. The food was tasty and the service was quick. Cannot fault the food for the price paid. Staff were friendly, they gave us a tourist map.Would recommend to anyone looking for authentic food without risking it at a street vendor.

The night market in Batu Ferringhi is a nice place to have dinner. Just pick a table and order at one or more of the food stands. Just remember your tabel number and they bring it when ready. Pay at delivery. Great variation of Asian food

We regularly holiday in Batu Ferringhi and always dine at the Boatman Restaurant.The restaurant is set off the main road and is easily missed. Walk along the concrete driveway to a no-frills dining room where delicious and authentic nyonya and Chinese food is served.We cannot go past their Curry Kapitan Chicken and Beef Rendang. Also the fried Ma-Mee noodles are delicious. If you like tofu their Japanese braised tofu is really good. Everything is yummy.Servings are on the smallish side, so order extra.The staff are friendly and efficient and helpful, and it their toilets are super clean; probably the cleanest in Penang.Enjoy

Kebaya is the fine dining restaurant at the Seven Terraces boutique hotel (which is fabulous). The dinner is four courses with a choice from about 8 dishes for each course at about $45AUD. The service was wonderful, June our waitress gave us a tour afterwards and we were so impressed we had to go back and spend a night there! Thanks June! The food was lovely and the laid-back ambience of the restored old shophouse terrace made for a very relaxed evening.Thank you for dining at Kebaya. We are delighted you had a lovely dinner with us and you enjoyed the tour of the hotel so much that you had to stay the night. We greatly appreciate your feedback and we hope you will be back soon to enjoy the comforts of Seven Terraces.

Amazing service food and atmosphere but you must like hot pot as basically thatâs what it is. But broth is amazing and ingredients the same. Staff are so helpful and kind.
