Little Nyonya Cuisine, Gurney Plaza

James, the owner of Little Nyonya Cuisine currently has three outlets, right where we were was at Gurney Plaza and the other two respectively at Bukit Jambul and Queensbay Mall.  This particular day is a meeting between my sister and James and food tasting agenda.

There might be a future fourth outlet in KL Pavilion Mall. You are one of the first to hear it. But until that truly comes to pass, let's enjoy the Penang outlets first. Most times when I'm in Gurney Plaza, its rare for me to see alot of empty tables, even on some weekdays. Weekend crowds throng this eatery, definitely a heavy traffic area.

There are wide varieties in their menu,  ranging from dishes for group eating to standalone rice/noodles for one person. 

My most likeable dishes are arranged from top to bottom. 

(Desserts excluded)

Assam Koh Prawns

Sambal Kacang Botol (Four Angle Beans)

Beancurd

Inche Kabin

Ju Hu Char

Ikan pari

Mua Yu Chicken

Beef and Mutton Satay

Cendol

If you like cendol, I would recommend this. Sweet as usual but not overbearing.  'gula melaka' is used unlike some outlets, they use brown sugar. I'm not much of a cendol, ice kacang fan but the rest who ate it seems to enjoy it.

I love Nyonya food, not because I'm half Nyonya but its the richness in taste that attracts me. My first time to Madam Soon at E-Gate was fulfilling. I was fascinated with the small order notepad the waiter was using and asked to take a picture of it. And it looks like we ordered a lot by looking at those codes but we did not. I wondered what some of the codes meant.

The Sambal Prawns were among our top tastiest and then the braised Pork Ribs as well. My friends enjoyed the pumpkin cakes which I suggest to eat it while its hot or it becomes rather unappetizing. 

I poured lots of the curry of the assam fish onto my rice, something I quite like to do for curries that I like. 

Inchi Kabin was really good too. The Lor Bak was not to my fancy though. 

Wifi is available and service is commendable.
