Love Nutrient Nyonya Willow @ Taman Tunas Damai, Bayan Lepas, Penang.

Update: Nyonya Willow has relocated to Arena Curve (72-1-3), reverse to Arang Cafe

Nyonya Willow is definitely i of the virtually secretive cafes/ restaurants, non alone that it does non bring whatsoever signage, it is nestled inward a terrace house... inside the secluded neighborhood of Taman Tunas Damai (Bayan Lepas). As the cite mightiness bring hinted, Nyonya Willow runs similar a somebody kitchen, inward a residential. The bill of fare changes regularly- depending on what they could origin for the day, the dishes vary. It offers roughly Nyonya delights as good as roughly favorite Malaysian delicacy such as Nasi Lemak. All ingredients are prepared inward house. The setting is homey as good together with mightiness non hold upwards also accommodating for larger groups. Prices are however, veering towards the higher side but given the fact that they ready inward a pocket-size scale together with every dish is home-cooked, the cost is justifiable. Taman Tunas Damai is close to the newly operated SMK Heng Ee Bayan Lepas branch or where Honda Car Service centre is located. 


Nasi Ulam (Rm 10)


Joo Hoo Char (Rm 12/ small)


Perut Ikan (Rm 16/ small)


Chicken Kapitan (Rm 16/ small)


Gulai Tumis amongst Stingray (Rm 10/ two pieces)

The serving subdivision at Nyonya Willow is to a greater extent than oftentimes than non smaller together with thus produce gild proportionately according to the pose out of guests. We had Nasi Ulam inward lieu of the green white rice, the fragrance was at that spot together with the herbs were cleverly used but it lacked a affect of salt. Perhaps to a greater extent than Dried Shrimp or a tablespoon of Sambal Belacan volition brand the miracle. Joo Hoo Char together with Perut Ikan were nix out of the ordinary; the sometime dish was a tad also sweetness to our liking, the smell of the Dried Shrimp did non smooth either, the Perut Ikan was as sweetness together with nosotros idea it lacked of roughly shape of fragrance that my untrained gustation buds could non discerned. 

We enjoyed the Chicken Kapitan together with the Gulai Tumis, though the curries were veering towards the sweeter side, the flavors were bold. The Gulai Tumis fifty-fifty possessed a tinge of acidity that cuts through the creamy dimension. It would hold upwards fifty-fifty ameliorate if the Stingray could hold upwards cutting into bigger pieces.
