How to Eat Your Way Through Penang, Malaysia—Asia's Most Exciting Food Destination | Condé Nast Traveler

"A beloved, still-traditional yet slightly more formal dining room where Jawi Peranakan anthropologist Wazir Jahan Karim and her son Nurilkarim serve a Peranakan cuisine shaped by Malay-speaking Muslims. Expect dishes like Malay nasi biryani alongside comforting plates of chicken curry, roti surai, and milk tea that speak to Penang’s entwined histories." - Arati Menon
