Nyonya Specialty

Nyonya Specialty is a food stand specializing in Nyonya cuisine at the Boat Food Court on Lebuh Victoria near Weld Quay. The menu has about 9 dishes or so for very little money. I believe the highest priced item is just RM 8.
Nyonya cuisine is a mix of Chinese and Malaysian influences and Penang is one of the best places to try this out this cuisine. I wanted to try the pork knuckles dish, but they were out. So I went with the Nyonya fried rice with chicken curry.
The fried rice was familiar tasting, but different as it has lemongrass which makes it more fragrant. Chicken curry served on the side has some spice, but not overly so. It was a little chewy, but fine for the price.
It was nice to try out a Nyonya dish. If you do check this place out, make sure to bring napkins as they don’t supply any. Also you might be pestered to buy a drink by one of the folks at the drink stand nearby. I think it is because you are eating at one of the tables. Not sure if it is mandatory to buy one and I couldn’t understand what they were saying since they were speaking in Malay. Though it is not a big expense since the fresh juices should cost US $ 1 more or less.
