KuraPrincessEatNonStop@Chilli Padi Nonya Cafe

PAPA’s Day~

So being a good girl, I brought daddy to have some nonya buffet. He loves buffet & into peranakan food.

Having 1/4 peranakan blood in me, I am quite particular in this cuisine since I had tasted my granny’s cooking before.

My granny’s cooking is superb ok~! =( Miss her~ In addition, we tried Melaka peranakan dishes before which is damn gd!

Me & Daddy~ 

 

I heard about Chilli Padi Nonya Cafe buffet in lot of blog & even was featured in the tv. Mostly described them as NICE & the crowd in there are huge. However, after tasting the food..I feel lah. “NICE” can’t be usedon them but “Passable” will be acceptable. 

First, they have not much variety. No boobochacha, no otak and many more! However, I shouldn’t HIAM with the price I am paying. Yup. Just $13.80+ per person. If you are seafood person, my suggestion is go somewhere else.

Well, I did snatched pictures of the food.

Pig’s Organ Soup

I din try this. I not a fan of organs~ I don’t like the strong peppery smell.

1: Sambal Fish; 2: Curry Chix; 3: Babi Assam; 4: Chap Chye; 5: Rice with curry

This plate still not bad. I like the fish and the pork. However, the chef is a little generous in its salt portion in most of the food.

Kinda too salty for my tastebud.

My 2nd plate with the sambal fish, babi assam, curry puff, chwee kueh and the cracker cup call wad?
(Not sure how to spell.. Something “kueh pie tee”?)

 

The chwee kueh and the cracker cup is good. So good that I had 2 chwee kueh and 5 of the cracker cup.

Nonya Laksa
Too much coconut, not spicy & not fragrant at all. Disappointment.

No prawn!

 

Mee Siam
Too salty. Put alot of lime will not help too.

No Egg!

  

Gado Gado+cracker cup+some gultinous rice

Why no prawn. =/

Assorted Nonya Kueh

Not a fan of kueh. Tried abit but don’t really fancy it. I love 9-layered kueh but I was quite turned off after tasted a little of it.

Agar Agar
Rough & Chunky.  =/ 

 

Overall, it’s not a least fantastic at all.

Food Rating: 5.5/10

Variety Rating: 4.5/10
Got to add a few more tray of nonya dishes.

 

I doubt I will come back. Others find it nice but not me. I guess it’s my granny’s fault. Who ask her to cook delicious nonya dishes!

Well, it’s a cheap price to pay if you want to have a taste of nonya food. =)

 

The service is good & fast but I dislike the idea that they did not replenish up their egg + prawn since most of the crowd were leaving when we started our meal. Yes, true enough there’s not much people left but..still need to maintain the standard right? =/
After all, 1 customer is still a customer. What more to say 4 customers. =/ *irritated*
