    Nyonya seems to be popular in Penang and there are many to choose from. We tried Niang as someone recommended that the perut ikan is very good. The perut ikan is indeed delightful. Hong bak was so so and so was the otak otak.

    Food was overall pretty solid, no major complaints, one of the newer Nyonya restaurants in George Town. 15% off on Mon-Wed was a pleasant surprise. Made reservations before coming.
