Start off your meal with some delectable appetizers such as the sambal timun with fish cake, sambal mangga and otak-otak nyonya.

Each night, the buffet will feature selection of appetizers, main dishes and sweet section featuring nyonya kuih-kuih.

You must also try your hand creating your own pie tee/ top hat with the DIY pie tee.

Chef Adriana’s nyonya laksa and mee siam are a must-try!

I was definitely spoilt for choices trying out the main dishes, since there were just so many mouthwatering and delectable dishes such as the ayam pong teh, ayam rendang nyonya, ayam tempra, sek ark (braised duck), chap chye, kangkung belacan and sample nyonya style asam pedas, cooked with tenggiri, pari, snapper, garoupa and chicken.

Another variation is having asam pedas cooked with vegetables.

Amongst some of the dishes served are also the nyonya asam pedas bendi, peria, terung, kobis, sambal udang petai, sambal sotong, sambal ketam, sambal kupang petai.
