Eating out: Baba Nyonya

My grandma and aunt are here for a short break since it's school holiday. We like bringing them out makan whenever they're here. So for dinner, we dined in Semarak, Nilai.



Baba Nyonya Seafood Restaurant is a family-run business. It is a very simple restaurant, dad and daughter take orders, mom cooks in the kitchen and daughters serves the dishes. This is my nth time eating there. We ordered 4 dishes, ranging from chicken to vegetables.



This is Special Omelet. It is fried to perfection: not oily and eggs are not overcooked. I can't really remember the exact price, it is somewhere around RM6-8, which is reasonable.



Vege of the day is stir-fry Chinese Cabbage. This dish is another yum and it only costs RM6.



Then came piping hot Ikan Sumbat Belacan. Actually, it's not spicy at all, haha. It looks spicy but the sambal is actually very mild. Again, the fish is fried to perfection: crispy on the outside and tender inside. My grandma and aunt really liked this that they both shared another bowl of rice (apart from the bowl each of us had)! Again, I don't know how much this fish costs: must be around RM20-25.



The last dish is Rendang Chicken. There isn't anything special about this. I would say Malays cook rendang better. Again, I can't remember the price, it would be around RM12-15.

Finally, we paid RM55.60 for 4 dishes, 5 bowls of rice and 4 glasses of jasmine tea. So if you're ever in Semarak, do try out this restaurant! They have plenty to offer. By the way, they close on weekend and business hour is only until 9pm on weekdays.
