[2025 George Town Restaurant] Travel Guide for Bibik's Kitchen Nyonya Cuisine (Updated Jul)

#ChineseNewYear2023 When you come to Penang, the food you can't miss is the food. Here, Indian, Chinese and Niangya food are prominent. Niangya is a Peranakan menu, which is a Chinese people who immigrated to Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, and southern Thailand. There is a cultural fusion of Chinese and local food. Niangya food in Malaysia and Singapore is mixed with local spices. In southern Thailand, such as Phuket, coconut milk is added to make it more intense. Today, I tried Niangya food at Bibik's Crusine. There are both savory and sweet menus. I ordered Renddan chicken curry and fish curry, 2 menus. The taste is not spicy like Thai food and the spices are quite intense. Another menu with coconut milk is pineapple shrimp curry. It is sour and sweet, like the pineapple curry I had in Thailand, but not as spicy. In addition to Peranakan food, later I had the opportunity to try Cha Kuay Tiew (fried noodles) and an Indian menu, Tsunami Roti. Every menu is delicious. Penang is a land of food. When you come, you must try all types. Then you will reach the real Penang.

This restaurant is crowded inside and not outside and had a lot of reviews so we decided to try it. We booked in advance, so we got a table with 10 minutes of waiting to get to sit down to view the menu and order food. The restaurants offers authentic Nyonya Cuisine food somehow like home-cooked food which I preferred the most. The food came in 15mins to 20 mins. I wasn't satisfied with the amounts versus the price but still acceptable since it's not common out there. The desserts are served with super thick coconut milk and u can taste a lot of coconut fat and it’s sweets and creamy. Taste wise It tastes like home cooked but not too surprising to our taste buds. I bring along my mom, she knows well how a good rendang shall be but not surprise her. Will come back if we looking for not fancy home cook NYONYA cuisine #mymymemories
