Nyonya Restaurant at SS2

There are few restaurants in SS2 serving nyonya cuisine. I recently visited the Nyonya Restaurant at Jalan SS2/24, Petaling Jaya.

The ambience of the restaurant gives me a very calm feeling. Guess that's the effect of their colourful Nyonya arts in the whole space.

 We have ordered a few dishes and they came by to have all spicy dishes. Woah! Such a tongue tester to me.

Sayur Paku dish with shrimp. To be honest, I rarely have the chance to eat paku and I never know how tasty this greeneries is until I have this plate of dish.

Here comes the Curry Kapitan. Look at the gravy! Oh my gawd! Best of the best! This is the type of gravy I love.

Sambal Petai. I seriously want to give a thumbs-up to the owner of the restaurant. Petai comes with two different species, one is Petai Padi and another is Petai Papan. Both have the pungent smell which many people dislike but Petai Papan actually taste less strong than Petai Padi. The owner of this restaurant uses Petai Padi for their Sambal Petai. This really gives me a great satisfaction to my cravings.

Brinjal or we call it Eggplant. I never like eating Brinjal. The slimy texture of the vegetables is quite disgusting in a way. But honestly, this dish is well cooked. I've eaten even a few slices of it. But again, it's spicy. Perhaps that's the reason why it doesn't tastes as disgusting as I thought.

 Last but not least, Assam Fish Head. Thinking of this dish, I'm drooling already. The sour taste together with the spiciness of the gravy.

We had the Cendol as desserts. This is quite disappointing. Guess it's because I have had the best cendol before this.

Overall rating of this restaurant, I will give 8/10. The fact is the dishes served are genuinely tasty with good ambience. On the pricing, I think that's what PJ prices are. I believe it could be cheaper. I'm not sure. But it's worth a place to visit.
