While both Penang together with Malacca are known to receive got Peranakan descendants, the civilization tin live on totally unlike together with that... includes the nutrient too. It's quite uncommon for Peranakan restaurants to serve Malaccan-Peranakan nutrient but this newly opened Peranakan Passion has decided to accept a boundary of faith. Flip the carte together with you lot volition notice quite a few Peranakan dishes that are non mutual to Penang (otherwise inwards Malacca)- Ayam Pongteh, Ayam Buah Keluah, Itik Tim etc; the instant affair that mightiness strike you lot would live on the cost points.... a petty higher than usual. But the air-conditioned cafe has a decent setup- comfortable together with homey, alongside around Peranakan elements adorning the walls. We receive got managed to endeavour a few signature dishes on our visit; piece nosotros could non honour whatever error alongside the dishes, nosotros did non intend they were impressive... in all likelihood nosotros receive got got accustomed to the local Penang Peranakan flavors.
Chun Piah (Rm 8/ piece)
Chili Garam Brinjal (Rm 16)
Ayam Pongteh (Rm 20/ small)
Devil's Curry Chicken (Rm 20/ small)
The seemingly friendly together with chatty proprietor shared alongside us that all dishes inwards Peranakan Passion are MSG-free together with sugar-free (Brown Sugar is replaced instead). They are cooked using the recipes passed downwards from previous generations.
The Chun Piah was somewhat similar our Lor Bak (otherwise known equally Ngo Heong)- Cincalok seasoned Chicken alongside diverse ingredients rolled using Beancurd sheet, served alongside home-made Sambal. The seasoning was spot on together with the flavors were alright but it did non hitting us. We idea it was but a standard-average dish. Chili Garam Brinjal was a allow down, the flavors did non smooth together with nosotros were quite shocked to honour the measly (considering the hefty cost tag)- it was mere steamed Brinjal served alongside Sambal.
Both Ayam Pongteh together with Devil's Curry Chicken were decent; the old i reminds us of the Penang "Hong Bak" (Soy sauce Pork) but the add-on of Potatoes caused the concoction to live on thicker together with starchier. The seasoning was alright though... alongside a delightful salty-sweet combination. The latter dish caught us inwards a whiff of Curry odor when it was served. The flavors were bold but it was non equally spicy equally nosotros would receive got hoped. Also, both dishes were micro-waved earlier serving to our table; would live on improve if they were cooked fresh on the spot.
