Rasa Rasa 回味

Just had the most amazing Malaysian meal and I’m still thinking about it! Every single thing on the plate was packed with flavor the sambal had the perfect kick, the fried egg was cooked to perfection, and the rendang Melt-in-your-mouth good. Even the little sides like the crunchy anchovies and fresh veggies brought the whole dish to life. I swear, I was mentally applauding every bite. If you haven’t tried this yet, you’re seriously missing out!

My top 1 favorite spot in Penang! From the very warm welcome of the owner to tasting our first nyonya meals. This Michelin resto is located in a very unassuming yet pretty spot at 35@Jetty. It feels like being served a local homecooked meal. As we got here a bit late, they only had limited curry chicken left. The owner was so kind to give us a bowl of their curry soup (with potatoes). It was so good I wanted to come back again the next day lol

Worth every bit of hype, wonderful down to earth staff ready to help. We were gutted they'd run out of the curry chicken, so get here earlier for that, however there was plenty of Nasi Lemak to have anyway. Fragrant rice, chicken was cooked perfectly and the sambal was the perfect pairing, the veg pairing with onions and okra was really good too, it all balanced really well. The bihon was good too, the duo of spicy and sweet sambal was really good as well. It's well worth coming here, even if it's small inside it's worth the wait.

Taste mediocre for Penangite. Nasi Lemak rice texture needs improvement, not so much fragrance. However the accompanying dishes such as curry chicken, ikan bilis and peanuts are quite nice. Weird thing to note for set of eggs with kaya toast, they actually put the egg on the bread, and to separate them you need to pay individually for both items, which cost more lol.

The environment is very nice. The old furnitures let me think of the time of childhood. The foods and desserts are good. Suitable to have time with friends and family.

I was fortunate enough to taste the curry chicken with bihun , and the flavor was truly amazing! The curry and the thick and mellow coconut milk blend perfectly, and the bihun are chewy and smooth. Every bite is filled with the charm of Southeast Asia. Apart from the main dish, the bali drinks here also left a deep impression on me. It's not just ordinary bali water; it has a unique flavor, refreshing and thirst-quenching, forming a great balance with the rich curry, leaving a lasting aftertaste. If I had to offer a small suggestion, it would be that if the fried egg served as a side could be replaced with a sunny-side-up egg, it would add even more layers of flavor to this bihun. Overall, this was an excellent dining experience. I highly recommend everyone to come and try it!

Cute shop in George Town connected to many other cafes in their back alley. Food is decent. Curry chicken does run out pretty fast. We were there over the festive season and they struggled to serve with the volume. Family run business, servers are the older generation who do need more time with customer orders, so do go in with a bit more patience 🙂

A Nyonya-style nasi lemak is absolutely delicious—it's no surprise it's Michelin-recommended. The curry chicken nasi lemak is flavorful, and the cuttlefish is nice and tender. However, the Penang white coffee isn’t to my taste; I prefer the Ipoh-style white coffee, which has a richer, smoother profile.
