A Touch of Nyonya and Baba @ Nyonya Breeze, Abu Siti Lane

Posted by Angeline at 3:46 PM

It will be about a week before my next posting..So here's one before leaving to KL tomorrow..!!
Nyonya Food is considered a popular cuisine in Malaysia..Nyonya Food originated from the Baba and Nyonya Era, when it was during the Japanese Invasion in our country, Malaysia..
The Nyonya's during that time are well known for their cooking skills as they are responsible to cook delicious food for their husbands, the Baba's..

Nyonya Breeze brings a wide selection of Nyonya dishes..and located around office and town area..The restaurant are always packed with customers at all times..especially during
weekends..Recently, when my dear friend Sandra came back from KL, I recommended Nyonya Breeze to her..as she was in the mood for some Nyonya Food..
A View on the Outside

This is the signboard to look out for when you are searching for Nyonya Breeze..It was dark when I took the picture that night..

Green is the theme for Nyonya Breeze..you will find that most of their shop signboards, labels and even menus are Green in colour..! 

History

Here's the history of the Peranakan Era...where the male counterparts are called Baba and the female counterparts are called Nyonya..Wanna know more..? Visit the restaurant and read about the history..

Nyonya Costume

There is a nyonya costume which is hanged on the wall as decoration..and look below..there is even a take-away basket which is used during the Peranakan days for storing food and take-aways..

Newspaper Cuttings/Advertisement

Nyonya Breeze has been advertise in many newspapers before..like our famous local newspaper provider, The Star..There were many newspaper cuttings in the restaurant, from English to Chinese Newspaper portraying dishes from Nyonya Breeze and there is even one..which shows the picture of the Chef ( Above picture : right )..

Menu

Again..the menu potrayed the Green Theme of the Restaurant..By the way..do you know that green soothes the human eyes and keeps you calm and refreshing..?

Tau Eu Bak

Tau Eu Bak

Tau Eu Bak ( Up Closed )

Tau Eu Bak are Pork Belly chunks cooked in thick soy sauce gravy along with bean curds..
The small portion will cost RM12.00 and the Large portion will cost RM16.80..
Recommended for those who loves pork belly..as the thick soy sauce is sweet and goes well with the white rice..
There are even few chunks of bean curds which Jye and Mum will always eat it..as they are not a big fan of pork.. 

Kari Kapitan


Kari Kapitan ( Up Closed )

This is one of my favourite dish..!! Kari Kapitan is made up of thicked savoury curry chicken, coconut milk, kaffir lime leaves and lime juice..

It has a sweet and salty gravy..the spiciness are mild and it is slightly creamy..For those who is not able to take spicy food..they are recommended to order the Kari Kapitan..
The sweet and tender chicken makes is easy to consume..especially for children..

The small portion of the Kari Kapitan will cost only RM12.00 and the Large portion will cost RM16.80.. 

Spinach Vegetables

Apart from all the oily food..and meat..we should practice a balance diet of food..So we add on another dish which is the Spinach Vegetables also known as Bayam in Malay..

There are many other types of vegetables such as the Potato Leaves ( Huan Chu Heok ) and Water Convolvulus ( Eng Chai ), and there is a choice of cooking it with Sambal or just stir-fried with garlic..The picture above is the one which is stir-fried with Garlic..

For Stir Fried with Garlic, it will only cost RM6.00 ( Small ) and RM9.60 ( Large )
For Stir Fried with Sambal, it will only cost RM7.20 ( Small ) and RM12.00 ( Large)

Egg Belanda

Egg Belanda ( Up Closed )

Now here is a dish which Nyonya Breeze customers should order..the Egg Belanda..

Egg Belanda is prepared by adding fried eggs to a sweet and sour gravy of tamarind extract,onions and chillies..It is then finished off with sprinkles of deep fried onions..
Although there are chillies in one of the ingredients..the dish does not taste spicy at all..just sweet and sour..


The Egg Belanda will cost RM3.60 per plate of two eggs, additional charges will be charged for extra eggs..

Potato Sago

Potato Sago

For desserts..we decided to order the Potato Sago..which is also known as Huan Chu Sago in Hokkien..
The potatoes tasted sweet and I love the chewy Sago which is the transparent round jelly..
Their dessert changes everyday..So be sure to ask the waiter for the dessert of the day..!

Drinks

As for drinks..me and mum ordered the Crysanthemum which costs RM1.30 per glass, another two drinks are the Ginger Tea ( RM 2.00 ) and Nutmeg ( RM2.00 )..

Nyonya Breeze's Crowd

Took this picture on purpose to show the crowd at Nyonya Breeze..the restaurant is crowded almost everyday..especially during dinner hours..So be sure that you are early as it will be difficult to find a place to park and also a place to sit..
