Malaysia is one of the those country that has a thing, where religion and race has a connection. Not exactly sure why, but the local Malay are born to be Muslims. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a religion extremist, neither am I racism. I love my Muslims friends, especially those who can respect me who eat pork. I'm just saying, the binding of "religion" into the personal ID is fairly... I shall say unique. I'm sorry I had to start this post with such a serious topic, but it has to do with the restaurant I'm introducing today, "Little Nyonya".
I want to quote my good friend @redpalestino, as he told me there are Muslims in Israel, but there are Christians in Palestine. Which is exactly what are we going to learn about the word Nyonya. Malaysia has a code of martial conversion for those who choose to marry a Malay, are forced to convert to Muslim. However, before the law was enact, those days we have these peeps originally from Sumatra and China came together, and become a family without converting their religion. And Nyonya is the female descendants of Malay and Chinese mix, whereas Baba refers to male decendants.
So, what's good about Nyonya food? Well, as a local Chinese, I can tell the difference because of the mixture of both ethnic and culture, the taste has been blended together.
If you don't know, most(if not all) of Malaysia Chinese origin from the southern part of China. And the southern Chinese doesn't really eat spicy food due to the warmer climate. Whereas the local Malay took chilli pepper as their fruits 🤣
Added with the local sweet tooth, these Nyonya does know how to give a tongue twister where shaved ice were given a dash of coconut caramel, mixed with coconut milk extract and pandan leaf infused drink. I'm telling you, this thing will blow your mind.
I got myself a bowl of Curry Kapitan Noodle. Originally, I don't know what the word Kapitan came from, until the kids watching cartoon to found out it was Captain 🤣 as they say, captain has all the good food in a sail ship. The curry is very creamy and full of herbs and mints.
We also ordered 10 sticks of chicken satay. Chicken meat has been marinated with spices, it's soft and has a taste of charcoal to it makes them easy to go down. I'd say, if not of wallet concern, I'd sit here and try to eat 50 sticks.
Last but now least, how can I not have a bowl of coconut caramel Cendol which is super famous with their Nyonya style. I can't say this shop is 100% same with what we can find Malacca, but it's close enough.

You are absolutely right, even though we have different religions, we must respect each other, it is mandatory to respect each other. That's very good in my opinion, and the food that looks different and tastes different but looks very delicious.
Yes. And pork free. So it's Muslims friendly 👍
I don’t take spicy 7* 24* 365 😅but I don’t mind the stick of satay 🤩
哩個花生醬就可以令你學食辣。我靚仔個時候就係因為沙爹搞到識食辣🤣
仲有，馬拉要搵沙爹要搵華人，至有機會食豬肉沙爹。
豬牛雞我都想食😍
Congratulations, your post has been added to Pinmapple! 🎉🥳🍍
Did you know you have your own profile map?
And every post has their own map too!
Want to have your post on the map too?
looks like your food menu today is quite draining the wallet,, hehehe
It was ok when ordering food like this. Considering we save up petrol and toll charges, it's still ahuhe discount 🤣
The satay looks good. Tetapi sudah semestinya mahal bila dijual di restaurant mcm ini 😅😅
Kira boley la. Xkan nak sengaja pergi melaka makan satey 🤣
satay with ice kacang bro.
Here no choice nia. Its still better go Penang and or Malacca to find local delight.
Penang bro. Eat from morning till night.
Everything looks as though made with care, nice plating and presentation. Reasonable prices for such a modern-looking place too. If I ever get a chance to travel in Malaysia again, it will be a foodie holiday.
Not really dude. Those pricing is consider luxury at this part of the town. In order to really enjoy the traditional food, will still have to either travel up north, or down south. Technically, in Kuala Lumpur, it's just way overpriced and fake it till they taste it. Once again, not wrong to pay such price since I stay here. It doesn't make sense if I purposely travel 300km just to get a chance to eat a bowl of noodle and come right back after that 🤣
Well I am generally a fan of hole-int-the-wall mom and pop eateries, but certainly places like this make for good photography. Well, if you found yourself back in the area again, would you return or search for a more reasonable place to eat?
Had the opportunity to visit the South one last time, couple of months before the "situation" become serious.

Note that the restaurant name Aunty 🤣 the typical Asian call for elderly women. Which results in why I have become Uncle Dave. When you visit here, my kids is gonna call you Uncle Just, oh wait, Just Uncle sounds better 🤣
