Thanks to Criz, I had the chance for my first ever invited review. However, invited review is invited review, and although I doesn’t need to pay for my food, I will still comment about it honestly. And if any of you guys doubt about what I say, I already stated it clearly, this is an invited review, so it’s up to you guys to believe it or not.
Nyonya Breeze at Abu Siti Lane Penang offers authentic Nyonya cuisine, a cuisine which is going to extinct soon since not much people willing to learn and prepare it, simply because the preparation job is very time consuming. However, it’s good that at Nyonya Breeze, their dream...
Nyonya Breeze is located right opposite the Red Rock Commercial Centre @ Abu Siti Lane. A handful of us attended the invited review extended by Nyoya Breeze and arranged by Steven.
The interior deco is pretty simple yet comfortable.
I personally don't favour nasi ulam that much as it's too dry for me. Luckily the Asam Pedas (soup) came in rescue later on. :)
BUT ..... I appreciate every single effort done by the restaurant in preparation...
There are less and less people know how to cook nyonya food nowadays. The reason being is not because of difficulty to get the ingredients but instead it is due to the preparation process. From marinating the ingredients to slicing and cooking, it takes not just hours but days. Although the preparation is long, the enjoyment of the food is just within minutes. No wonder not many restaurants are willing to prepare authentic nyonya food.
For those that have time to prepare these complex dishes, you can always try out the cooking. For those that have no time to cook, but still want to enjoy the lost track of nyonya food, you can always pay a visit to Restaurant Nyonya Breeze...
Nyonya Breeze used to be located next to Naza Hotel in Tanjung Bungah. But recently, they moved to Abu Siti Lane, off Macalister Road. Located opposite Choo Plaza, its bright green signboard is hard to miss.
My family is always in search of good nyonya food, as my late grandma was a fantastic cook who would whip up these amazing nyonya dishes. Perhaps we’re biased, but so far, nothing seems to come close to whatever came out of my grandma’s kitchen. So we entered into Nyonya Breeze, hopeful…
Service was quite brisk, but I was told that the previous weekend (New Year’s) the place...
I was at one time crazy over “Little Nyonya – 小娘惹”, a Singaporean TV series being aired on our local channel some time last year. The storyline was based on the lives of a large Peranakan (Baba Nyonya) family during the 30’s where traditions and cuisines played important roles in their daily affairs. What impressed me most were not the great performances by the artistes nor the beautiful arrays of fine dining wares or building architectures but the tedious food preparation time each Nyonya (female) would spend in the kitchen to ascertain that their Baba (male) would be well taken care of. In this modern era, most of the olden methods of using the batu giling (granite grinder) or batu tumbuk (granite mortar and pestle) to get the best flavors and textures out of the many spices available were gradually replaced by the convenience and speedy processing time of the electric blenders...
