Lunch at Tanjung Bungah Nyonya Restaurant

Post by Chiefeater VK

Lunch at Tanjung Bunga Nyonya Restaurant was a delightful exploration of traditional flavours. We were a party of three, which allowed us to sample several Nyonya staples like Inchi Kabin (Nyonya fried chicken), Ju Hu Char (stir-fried jicama with shredded cuttlefish), Nyonya Fried Rice, Lobak and Petai Sotong. All the dishes we tried were thoroughly enjoyable.

Inchi Kabin

Ju Hoo Char

Nyonya Fried Rice

Cendol

However, my absolute favourite was the Petai Sotong. The squid was exceptionally fresh and had a nice, firm bounce with each bite, while the petai was deliciously pungent.

Another highlight was the Lobak; it was prepared in an interesting style, fried to look like a crispy popiah on the outside. It was incredibly addictive and would make a lovely snack to pair with a cold beer.

X – X-Factor
The X-factor was the Petai Sotong and the crispy Lobak. Finding squid with that specific “bouncy” texture indicates high-quality sourcing, while the crisp lobak casing made it enjoyable.
