Flower Mulan Nyonya Cafe Burma Road

Flower Mulan Nyonya Café on Burma Road is a charming Michelin Guide–listed restaurant that beautifully captures the essence of Peranakan cuisine. From the moment the dishes arrive, you can tell the attention to detail is exceptional. The white rice and blue pea rice both taste premium, fragrant, and perfectly complement the array of vibrant dishes. The curry chicken stands out with its succulent texture and rich, aromatic gravy, while the lobak is tender inside and crispy outside — a true delight with every bite. The ikan jaket sambal is another highlight, bursting with flavor and spice that pairs wonderfully with the rice. The ju hu char, served with fresh lettuce and sambal, offers a delicious crunch and a pleasant spiciness that feels truly home-style. The sambal petai prawns are equally impressive — plump, spicy, and cooked just right to retain their juicy sweetness. To end the meal, the sago gula melaka and bubur cha cha make for a perfect dessert duo — sweet, creamy, and refreshing after a hearty Nyonya feast. The waitress thoughtfully recommended exploring the café’s interior decor after dining, and it was indeed worth it — filled with vintage touches, creative paintings, and nostalgic Peranakan flair. Flower Mulan Nyonya Café is not just about the food; it’s an experience that blends culture, taste, and art. Truly one of the best Nyonya restaurants I’ve visited, deserving of its Michelin recognition.

We landed in this Peranakan restuarant in Penang on our 1st night. It did not disappoint. They have my favourite dish viz Perut Ikan. It was perfectly done and brought me back to my childhood days. The shredded sengkuang was equally good and was up there. Although the assam detail sambal prawns was a bitbof a let down for me as it was sourish and had not enough balance in its taste. We finished off with the yam desert which was unique as it had the combo of red bean, potato besides the yam. The place is also nicely decorated with all things nyonya. The air-conditioning was a bit too cold for me.

Lovely space to experience nonya food and culture! I highly recommend the egg blanda Sambal Tunis Ikan Pari,blue rice and the Kueh pie tie and their fried chicken! We came at About 7:45pm in the evening and food came in about 10minutes time. After dinning they even have a museum space for exploring on the second level!

The food is above average, but not quite like authentic Nyonya cuisine. The portions are small and the prices are high. The decoration is amazing. Parking is very limited, so I suggest using e-hailing.

The restaurant is decorated in an authentic Chinese style and has a very unique atmosphere and vibe. The food and desserts are good, but not too special. The owner and staff are friendly. A cozy space and worth a try spot in Penang.

This restaurant is Michelin-recognized. They served Nyonga dishes. We ordered chicken curry, lor bak, butterfly pea rice, chrysanthemum juice, etc. The Lor Bar was the best dish we ate. The owner and staff are all nice and approachable. The place has overflowing flowers everywhere and chinese-inspired decorations. We arrived around 3pm and got seated immediately. The food service is fast.

Will definitely come again ! Love the chicken curry , it’s thicker than the Singapore curry and chicken were flavourful and potato were soft . I order a 2nd serving . 😋 2nd suggestion will be the assam prawn . It’s have a citrusy salty taste , like worchestire sauce but just nicer . Try the vegetable in superior broth . In Penang , their version is very soupy , salted egg were crispy , what I like its that the salted egg is overwhelming . lok bal or Wu Xiang taste crispier than Singapore kind . For dessert , try the Gula Melaka sago . U will fell in love with it . Atmosphere is very Instagram :) we were so enchanted by the interior design that the staff literally have to call us back when our food arrive cause we were invested in taking photos with their interior design . Love the staff , very engaging and family . My favourite is the uncle , only one there who came to entertain us with some tricks with the sensory candle. Really it’s very nice

Walked-in for Lunch with no reservations on Mother's Day which we had to wait approx 30mins for a seat but was genuinely grateful for that as it gave us time to take pictures of both top and bottom floor of the unique furniture and decorations. Food was great, definitely recommend the curry chicken, lor bak and black sesame mochi balls. Asam fish was a bit too fishy and sour for our taste otherwise, dishes were out super fast once ordered. Would definitely come back again to try the other dishes!
