Their main entrance. Very traditional way of the design.

Sambal Sotong Petai @RM24.00
Outlook: 4/5
Creativity: 4/5
Taste: 3/5
Price: 3/5
Overall: 3/5 - It looks very spicy. Actually Nyonya food brings more sweetness in their food rather than spiciness. I am not a Petai (Parkia Speciosa) lover so this dish is not really my type.

Overall: 3/5 - Have you eaten paku pakis before which is known as Psilotum in English? It is a very rare to eat. If you got the opportunity to see it in the menu, do not hesitate to order. Because it tastes so nice and delicious!

Overall: 3/5 - Very bad steamed tofu because it is quite hard and not soft. Maybe this the Nyonya way? Sorry if it is but I am not fancy to eat hard steamed tofu.

Chicken Satay @RM18.00
Outlook: 3/5
Creativity: 4/5
Taste: 3/5
Price: 3/5
Overall: 3/5 - I love the satay gravy. One thing I find it quite weird which is chicken in Nyonya style is quite hard and very difficult to chew. Seems like they are using an old chicken. Is this normal?

Cendol @RM3.00
Outlook: 4/5
Creativity: 4/5
Taste: 3/5
Price: 2/5
Overall: 3/5 - My uncle said their cendol entered a contest and won 2nd best cendol in the whole Malaysia. The 1st place won by a restaurant in Penang. Not really sure where it is. I love Cendol in Melaka because they are using a very unique gula melaka or called brown sugar which you will not able to taste in any other state in Malaysia. As for this cendol, it is very delicious but I feel the cendol is slightly hard. Not very soft to chew on. The price is really frightening for a very small bowl of cendol.

Ambiance: 4/5
Service: 4/5
Food Serving Speed: Moderate
Recommended?: Yes, for cendol too.
