Kebaya Dining Room

Exquisite Nyonya cuisine😘🍽, elegant setting, attentive service, a culinary journey through Peranakan flavors. Highly recommended.

Generally speaking, there is no shortage of street food in the former colonies, but it is difficult to produce local high-end restaurants (for example, the two Mi San restaurants in Singapore are both French restaurants). As a variation of Chinese food in Southeast Asia, Nyonya cuisine has also become a relatively high-end restaurant in Penang. As soon as you enter the door, there is a zither master playing, including ancient music and Hong Kong pop music. Ordering food is divided into appetizers, main courses, etc. Each person orders a dish, and the dishes are served in order.

This restaurant is called "qingqing" in Chinese, which is quite poetic. It is located in the city center. Their fried rice is very delicious, and the beef is also very delicious.

I sent an email to reserve a seat on the official website in advance and received a confirmation reply. I was looking forward to it. The first floor of the Seven Houses, the environment is traditional and noble, the set meal is four courses, 120RM+6[%] tax/person Appetizers, vegetable main dishes and desserts, otak otak is different from those sold in ordinary tea restaurants, the puff pastry is great, the sea bream filling is added with curry to make it tasty, the fish is fresh and the puff pastry is crispy, and the curry tastes more intense, the curry prawn bibimbap eats two bowls of rice, the lamb leg is so big and stewed very crispy and tasty, the coconut milk jelly has a pineapple flavor on the bottom layer and you can taste the pineapple flesh, the upper layer is passion fruit, and the middle is coconut milk with cashews, sweet and sour, the glutinous rice balls are filled with jujube paste, and the thick coconut milk is sweet but not greasy, a very satisfying meal

It's very classy, ​​it's the first recommendation in the guide, the decoration style is very classical, mainly red, very gorgeous and festive, the service is very professional, if you say you don't want to eat something, you will be quickly given suggestions, there are not many choices, all are set orders, appetizers and main dishes are served relatively quickly, the plates with the dishes are so beautiful, I can't put them down, it turns out that the first place is really not just a reputation.

The food here is definitely about style and environment. The tableware cannot be better, it feels like the food in the palace, of course I don't know what the palace is like. Compared with the containers, the taste of the dishes can only be described as average, not bad, but nothing to be amazed. The service is good.

This building has a special meaning to me because BF lived here when he was a child. He said that when he was a child, his father and mother went to Singapore for business, so they sent him to live with his aunt, who lived here. This was an old house where many people lived together, but now it has completely changed. The Seven Old Houses was built around 1900. In 2007, it was bought by a Penang Chinese architect. It took three years to renovate and build a high-end hotel with 18 rooms, which is decorated with the customs of Penang Chinese and Nyonya culture. Ordinary tourists cannot visit here, but guests are allowed to enter and experience the architectural style when they consume. Coffee, beer, red wine and cocktails are provided at 2 pm every day; you can also experience special Nyonya dishes from 7 to 10 pm (more expensive). This building is still very distinctive and is a scenery that LoveLan cannot miss (it happens to be at the corner of the street, and the location is also good, so you won’t miss it).
