Jiu Zhuang Hidden Bar
Bar
Chiefeater Luke Soon brings us to Jiu Zhuang, one of the most hidden spots in Dempsey that's a throwback to 1920s Shanghai


Nyonya Cuisine, Pork-Free
The Peranakan Bangsar is one of the newer restaurant additions to Bangsar Baru, offering Malacca-style Peranakan classics, assorted kuih muih and desserts.



The chap chye packed a punch for me - served with a side of belacan. The level of taucu (bean paste) could have been slightly more but definitely a 7/10

The Peranakan Chendol (RM12) is one of the better Melaka-style cendol I’ve tried in KL so far. I like the texture of the ice shaving and the fact that their add a bit of salt into their thick coconut milk so flavours really come together well. The Gula Melaka here is prepared well so it’s deeply caramelised without a bitter aftertaste
The pai tee was above average - having had many of these over the years in the Peranakan settlements of Malacca and Singapore; crispy savoury shells filled with a mixture of braised turnip, carrots and diced prawns. This comes with The Peranakan’s homemade light chili chuka, which was lovely

The Ayam Pongteh had each chicken piece cooked with taucu (bean sauce) and Gula Melaka for that savoury, caramelised / distinctive Nyonya Malacca flavour. This was 7/10

Overall, The Peranakan exceeded my expectations on a rainy night out having a business dinner.
Total RM500 for 6 pax.
