Ivy's Nyonya Cuisine

We had a reservation for dinner on Sat evening. Opted for the 6-pax set and added extra ala-carte dishes for the group. For the set, there's seabass in assam sauce, joo hoo ban kuang cha, hoo peow thng, kapitan chicken, sambal hae bee, and desserts. We added perut ikan, telur belanda and sambal udang. Drinks were the first to arrive and we waited for about another 30 mins for the food. The fish maw soup had plenty of ingredients such as fishballs and fish paste. The perut ikan was appetising and had plenty of vege/herbs in it. First time trying! The joo hoo ban kuang cha came with lettuce and spicy green sauce. We heeded the young staff advice (Daniel) and only dabbed a tiny bit of the spicy sauce into the lettuce wrap. Yummy. The steamed seabass in assam sauce was good and so was the chicken kapitan. All these sauces made me want to add more rice. The hae bee sambal was more sweet than savoury. Telur belanda was interesting with the tomato based sauce. Was surprised that the bee koh moi (coconut milk pulut hitam type of dessert) had longan inside.

We arrived after the lunch rush and didn’t need to wait for a table. We opted for the 2 person set menu and enjoyed everything. Service was great! Very child friendly- bowl/cutlery, high chairs, and even a diaper changing station in the bathroom area. Overall- it wasn’t my favorite meal in Penang but definitely pretty good!

The food was amazing; we ordered one Kueh. And the set meal and added in Kueh pie tie to eat with the mixed veggie; which was a good choice. We ordered the gilai cumin; it was tangy and appetizing and the soy sauce chicken which was sweet and salty. The otah was like a pillow; held integrity until it melted in your mouth. Ba bao milk tea was a bit too sweet for me. The ba bao lime was nice and refreshing but it was still quite sweet. The black glutinous rice was creamy and not overly sweet. All in all will recommend coming back!

The food was absolutely delicious! We went there for dinner today and ordered the set for 4 pax — the portions were incredibly generous, and we even got treated to two cups of their amazing coffee. We’d definitely love to go back for another meal if time permits before heading back to Singapore.

Delicious Nyonya cuisine in family run restaurant. It’s usually difficult to enjoy this cuisine when you have 2 pax, i was drawn here as I saw some patrons posting their set menu for 2 people @ RM90 before tax. Everything was cooked to perfection, we could tell a lot of thought went into perfecting these dishes. And from the way the owner(?) described the dishes we could tell they had a lot of pride in their food. Special shoutout to the otak (very pleasant texture that melts in your mouth) and the black glutinous rice dessert (i could taste some additional flavours in there, possibly from the longan? We couldn’t get enough of this!). The juhuchar was surprisingly flavourful, with an umami taste that we don’t usually get in this dish. Our only complaints was, we wish we could have customised the chicken part served. Not really a fan of drummet or thigh. When we asked the service staff if we could change, he didn’t really seem to understand our request. The robot server was an unlikely but welcome surprise 🤣 Nonetheless the service staff was attentive from the moment we walked in right till the end, making us feel like celebrities. Will definitely recommend this place to others 👌

The food is well balance..Their assam fish and vege is good.. Otak2 more to plain taste and belacan is spicy and nice.. Can try to include this shop if anyone opts to try nyonya food..

We saw as we walked in the restaurant that this place is in the Michelin Bib Gourmand 2025 list and they did not disappoint. The menu are all main dishes meant to be shared. The small size would typically be shared between 2-3 people with rice. Most of the dishes are excellent and some of our favourites were the chicken Kapitan (crispy and juicy), kangkung sambal, sambal prawn Petai and the lobak. Service is very accommodating as we came with four little kids. The place has this traditional peranakan vibe but a little small. Food - 9 Service - 9 Vibe - 7 Price - $$$

We made a booking at 6.30 but didn’t get our table till 7.10 pm (?!?). We even arrived on time. Service was very friendly, the guy even came to our table multiple times to check on how we are. We did the set menu RM 175? for 4 ppl. Portion sizes were small and we had to order more. The assam fish was a bit watery but overall the food was good. I would rate the food as 3/5 but service was 5/5.
