Little Heritage House — Restaurant in Petaling Jaya

Dinner last night in this magical place was truly a worthy gastronomic experience. From the outside facade to the inside, it is well adorned with original pieces of Malaysian and Nonya history. Reserved a place and was seated with no effort. Although the place is an average shop size, that accommodates 8 tables, no more no less, the sheer depth and atmosphere of its historical content and feel made us quickly ease in and felt just like a cozy home transporting us back into time playing a small role in Nonya history. No easy feat. The dishes ordered arrived in good timing, while waiting we were marinated with rich history and culture on the walls and shelfs. Never a boring moment. leading to the kitchen, there hung the original document of the Titanic, it's food menu for 2nd and 3rd class, an interesting touch and twist in the deco. We ordered 9 dishes and 3 types of dessert, all in small portion so that we can try as many types of Nonya food taste. I have to say all the dishes were well made, quality and consistency was the essence felt. Quality of ingredients, consistency in delivering satisfaction in every bite. The food did not immediately blew me away, but it eventually did like a slow blowing fuse. The food style can be rather subtle, it does take time to feel and taste it, it's flavorful qualities take time to revel itself. Although this setup is not fine dining, it totally felt like it. I was having a whale of a time. It makes me wonder, what it means by authentic Nonya cruisine, I don't know what the dictionary defines it, but it felt like I had an honest one. I can say I had a meaningful Nonya dinner last night. And one I intend to share with my close friends and family. I applaude the owner of this establishment in bringing a true gem into the belly of those fortunate enough to enjoy it. What are the not so good part? If there is one, it's not the restaurant but the parking part. Prepare to drive a few rounds around the block to find a slot. And maybe in the future when more people know about this gem it may be even harder to get a place in the 8 table limited dinner. Seeing some reviews mentioning pricy, I feel if the quality and quantity and visceral experience meets and exceeds the expectation then it's likely a value proposition each to judge for themselves. Food...

Kindly take review with a pinch of salt, as it was peak-time and really hectic on Mother's day. Ordered the Mother's Day Promotion Vegetarian at the recommendation of the staff, with an additional serving of chicken rendang (non-vege). Assumed that by ordering the set menu, it would make it easy for the restaurant and hasten the speed. The opposite happened; people who ordered ala carte gets served quicker. Service was terrible and very slow; whole ordeal took 2+ hours. Highly dissatisfied for the following reasons:

1. Very slow food turnaround and service; had to request 3 times from the same staff for water before actually being brought one cup; had asked for water for all for the very beginning.
2. The following items were swapped from the set menu: i) Vegetarian sambal prawn with mango kerabu. ii) Vegetarian Nyonya Chicken Rendang with Vegetarian Mutton Curry. When questioned, staff responded by saying the items were out and as such these are used as replacement. It is not that the items ran out that triggers dissatisfaction, but it is the fact that the dishes has been changed and served to us WITHOUT ANY EXPLANATION and PRIOR CONSENT/AGREEMENT.
3. Asked for dessert (pulut hitam with mata kucing, for takeaway as it was already getting late. Dessert never came.
4. Chicken Rendang never came. Order was taken down as it was shown in the bill. It was then taken off the bill when told.
5. Voiced dissatisfaction of poor and slow service to staff when paying, highlighting that the dishes shouldn't be changed without notifying us and seeking consent, and the chicken rendang and dessert that never came. No apologies offered, not even attempting nor showing any sincerity in their service.
6. Been told that dessert is being prepared and be packed for takeaway shortly. Waited for longer than 10 minutes, and just gave up entirely and told the staff to forget about the dessert and left.

In all fairness, the food was okay. Nonetheless, it is too pricey for okay-ish food and terrible service. Total bill was MYR 646.80 (588 + 10% service charge). 10% is a lot for such a terrible service.

Not worth the value for money spent.

Would advise people to not go if place is crowded as the current staff team is not catered for too...

Little Heritage Restaurant: A Culinary Delight I recently had the pleasure of dining at Little Heritage Restaurant, and I must say, it was an absolutely delightful experience. From the moment I stepped through the door, I was captivated by the charming ambiance and warm atmosphere. The restaurant's interior décor took me back in time, with its vintage furniture, elegant chandeliers, and beautiful artwork adorning the walls.

With a focus on local and seasonal ingredients, every dish is a celebration of flavors. The chefs skillfully blend traditional recipes with a modern twist, resulting in a truly remarkable dining experience. To start with, I ordered the fried rice set, the fried rice came out piping hot and it was the most beautiful rice I have seen so far, the aroma of the food was amazing that I almost cried of joy Of course, no meal is complete without a satisfying dessert. The Little Heritage Restaurant did not disappoint in this aspect either. I sampled the gula melaka —a velvety jelly with a hint of sweet syrup. It was pure bliss, the perfect ending to an unforgettable dining experience. What sets Little Heritage Restaurant apart is not just the exquisite food, but also the impeccable service. The staff is attentive, knowledgeable, and goes above and beyond to ensure a memorable evening. They catered to my dietary restrictions with ease, accommodating every requested modification without compromising on the quality or taste of the dishes.
