We had dinner in Nyonya Baba Cuisine Restaurant recently on our visit to Penang. Though it was formerly Dragon King since 1976, the food is not as good as Dragon King which we visited many years ago. The nyonya food served is just average as the cooking is done to suit the tourists especially Westerners. For locals, it is not spicy and chilli hot enough.

Nyonya Cuisine : Restoran Nyonya Breeze

Decided to eat Nyonya food for dinner, found this restaurant "Restoran Nyonya Breeze" located in 50, Lorong Abu Siti (Abu Siti Lane) 10400, Georgetown, Penang, Malaysia. There are 5 parking lots in-front of the restaurant.


There is a big display describing the history of Admiral Cheng Ho, the Chinese "Princess" in Malacca and the Straits-born Chinese called the "Peranakan". The Peranakan ladies are known as Nyonyas. This restaurant's vision is to preserve the Nyonya's culinary secrets for their customers to appreciate the authentic Nyonya cuisine.

The restaurant is spacious and very cosy for dining. The atmosphere is good and the service staff are very friendly.


Fish Otak - delicious

Beanjou with balachan - very good.. one of the best I have tasted in Penang

Karabu Chicken - disappointed that it is not chilli hot enough, quite bland. Should have ordered Karubu Pineapples
