Rasa Sayang Nyonya Cuisine, Penang
[Non-halal] Rasa Sayang Nyonya Cuisine is a relatively new Nyonya restaurant in Georgetown, Penang.
Whenever we are in Penang, we make sure to check out a new Nyonya restaurant.
And we enjoyed the food here at Rasa Sayang Nyonya Cuisine in Pulau Tikus.
Rasa Sayang Nyonya Cuisine in Pulau Tikus
This restaurant seems to be popular with locals.
We had to make a reservation on a Saturday night due to the limited tables – but it was worth it, in our view.
Signature dishes here include Kapitan Chicken, Tau Ewe Bak, Nyonya Kari Bak Kut, and Assam Pedas Fish.
Service here is very attentive and we liked the complimentary fish skin crackers at the start of the meal.
Nasi Ulam is excellent
The Nasi Ulam (RM16) is one of the most recommended dishes here and we can see why.
The rice is already pre-mixed and packed with so much vegetables and spices for a very robust taste. It is also topped with a generous amount of bunga kantan.
It was already good to eat on its own, but it best enjoyed with the curries.
Nyonya Kari Bak Kut
And the Nyonya Kari Bak Kut (RM38 for regular) was a good fit.
The curry is rich and berlemak, but the biggest surprise was the very tender pork ribs.
We prefer this to the Kiam Hu Kut Gulai (RM30) which somehow needed a bit more savoury hit from the salted fish bones. We had a better one elsewhere.
Kangkung Belacan
For greens, the Kangkung Belacan (RM19) was satisfactory as the leaves retained their lovely crunch with a good savoury hit from the belacan. Again, we loved the generous amount of bunga kantan in the dish which gives a nice fragrance.
We finished our meal with Bubur Cha Cha – which was perfectly creamy and flavoured with enough pandan.
Summary
Overall, we enjoyed our meal here at Rasa Sayang Nyonya Cuisine. We’ll be back to try the other signature dishes.
