Nyonya Restoran opened in 1974, was owned by our family friend, Auntie Rose and because of family commitments she sold off the thriving authentic Nyonya food business.
Nyonya Restoran have changed owners a number of times but surprisingly they still maintained the consistency of it's food.
They even has a new tag line "Yesterday's taste, Today"
The decor is now more modern with comfortable cheap Beige colored leather chairs, wall mounted and framed prints of major landmarks of Malacca city and a floor to ceiling glass panel front offering view of a bustling traffic choked SS2 street.
Besides Nyonya dishes they also served Nyonya sweet delicacies like Yam cakes, Onde Onde, Kueh Koci,Kueh Pisang, Angkoo Kueh, Kueh Talam.....etc.
