A Must-Visit Peranakan Haven for Pork Enthusiasts

Rasa Sayang Restaurant in Penang is truly a hidden gem for anyone seeking authentic Peranakan cuisine, with the delightful and unique advantage of catering to pork lovers. This restaurant stands out as likely the only place in the area specializing in Nyonya flavors that embraces pork in its dishes, making it a particularly special find.

The highlights of the meal, as mentioned, are undeniably impressive. The Nasi Ulam is described as great, suggesting a vibrant and flavorful rendition of this classic herbed rice dish. The Kerabu is praised for being refreshing, indicating a perfect balance of tangy, spicy, and aromatic notes that are characteristic of this type of salad.

However, the true stars of the show appear to be the pork-centric creations. The Pineapple with Crispy Pork is enthusiastically labeled as THE BEST, painting a picture of a delectable combination of sweet, sour, and savory flavors with a satisfyingly crispy texture.

Furthermore, the Nyonya Kari Bakkut is lauded as one of a kind, hinting at a unique and deeply flavorful pork rib curry that is likely a signature dish and a testament to the restaurant's distinctive offerings.

Definitely will...

We opted to try Rasa Sayang Nyonya Restaurant for dinner this evening instead of another Michelin-selected Nyonya restaurant here in Penang. What stood out immediately was how we ordered our food with Brian, who took our order. My wife requested that more lady fingers be added to the stingray Asam Pedas. Without hesitation, Brian agreed to the request with a remark that as long as the guest is happy, he would be very happy. The stingray fish was fresh, and together with the balanced asam pedas gravy, lady fingers, and pineapple, we all enjoyed this dish thoroughly. We also enjoyed the delicious pulut ikan and nasi ulam, for which we placed an additional order because it was so good. According to Brian, their nasi ulam is cooked fresh per order to maintain and retain the flavors of the finely sliced ulam, resulting in every mouthful of nasi ulam bursting with the full-body flavors of all the herbs added to the dish. The grand finale of our dinner was the closing of our palates with pulut hitam and bubur Cha cha desserts.

A must-try for any guest patronizing Rasa Sayang Nyonya Restaurant to savor the perfectly prepared dessert cooked to order.
