Nyonya Tingkat Signature Otak Otak

Post by Chiefeater VK

I have to say that I had reservations dining at Nyonya Tingkat Signature in Sphere Bangsar South. I had a bad experience dining here several years ago. The food was not well seasoned. But I had heard good things about this place in the last year and I was wondering whether they had gotten someone in to fix their menu. And the people filling up the restaurant would suggest that they have done something right.

I decided to give it a shot. I had lunch there with a friend, WP, who had just returned home from overseas. He was hankering for local food so this sounded like a good option. The outlet was full and every table was filled up. Understandably, the food took a while to arrive. That was alright, as we were busy chatting anyway.

The first item to arrive was the Otak Otak (RM14.90++). I was pleasantly surprised by how flavourful it was. It had a nice spicy taste to the dish but not so much that it dulled all the other flavours. The spicy & smoky flavours coupled with the outer firmness of the Otak-Otak and moist and tender insides make it delectable.

WP said that his Nyonya Asam Laksa (RM14.90++) was better than some he had in Penang, as it was very full flavoured giving him a hearty meal. I think some Penangites might want to lynch him for saying that. But hey, don’t kick it till you try it.

My Meehoon Siam (RM14.90++) was competent. The curry chicken that came with it was well seasoned but I found the meat too mushy. It may have lost points but that Otak Otak really made up for any shortcomings.

Their lunch sets came with a drink which we chose not to take cause we didn’t like the option.
