    Good, authentic Nyonya food is getting hard to find as the preparation and cooking process is tedious and requires a lot of time. Fortunately, there are still a handful of good Nyonya restaurants in Penang and Sifu Nyonya Cuisine 惜福 is one…

    This Nyonya style food is just so so to my taste. We ordered 7 dishes but only two were good. The Stingray curry and sambal hebi is quite tasty. I enjoyed it. The other 5 dishes were quite disappointing.

    Our table was graced with a delightful spread, including: 🍴 Nyonya Mix Platter – a beautiful start featuring pie tee and heh kean, each bite perfectly crisp and flavorful.

    We had a delightful meal at Sifu for a special occasion. The restaurant was cozy and comfortable. Absolutely delicious food - the stingray tumis asam and nasi ulam were real standouts, but we enjoyed every single bite.

    We made a reservation before going, but it wasn't necessary; there were free tables when we arrived. The service was very attentive at all times, and they helped us order perfectly. The food was delicious.

    We came around 2PM & lunar period so there wasnt much queue.. The staffs were very friendly and explained to us the menu, didn’t rush us even though it was near their closing time. Ordered the Lor Bak and Assam Stingray.

    It was the BEST MEAL I had in my entire trip to Malaysia !! Everything was cooked perfectly and the vibe was great as well. The fish curry was so refreshing and flavourful and the pork was cooked so well that even the fatty part didn't…

    Seriously, this place needs way more than just a Bib Gourmand—the food here is absolutely insane! That Lor Bak? To die for. And the fried chicken was perfect: super juicy inside and stayed crispy on the outside even minutes after we…
