Lovingly dubbed Warongku, Bijan has replicated a kampung setting in the heart of the city that features a wide range of classic Malay favorites - a few with a modern rendition, while the rest kept authentic to stay true to age-long recipes. Bury your face in free-flow Rendang Daging Hijau, Sotong Hitam Manis, Itik Salai Lemak Cili Api, Sambal Udang Petai, Lempeng Kelapa, Nasi Hujan Panas, Choy Tam Belacan and many more. Live stations, which are manned by skillful chefs, freshly prepare dishes upon order such as Laksam Bungkus, grilled meats, Pecal Kuah Kacang, Lemang and Sate. The desserts - delightfully presented in individual portions - are neatly laid out in a corner for a sweet ending, including Coconut Creme Caramel, Pandan Pudding, Bubur Sum Sum Bunga Telang, Kek Pulut Manga, and the ever sinful Tapai Pulut Durian.

Why I love the Ramadan buffet spread at Bijan KL?
It offers many authentic kampung dishes that you can hardly find in the city.

Authentic Jawi Peranakan Food at Jawi House Cafe Gallery, Pulau Pinang

Housed within the artistic precinct of Penang's George Town is the Jawi House Cafe Gallery - the island's first Peranakan Muslim heritage restaurant that is steep in culture and valuable traditions.

Jawi House Cafe Gallery, Pulau Pinang

Jawi House was brought into existence by the Karim family of George Town, Pulau Pinang. The family is of a Punjabi-Jawi Peranakan ancestry and they have been running the establishment for six generations. It fondly describes its dishes as "food for feasting" as it takes diners on a culinary journey along the early historical spice routes when local Malay women passionately domesticated the herbs and spices that were brought home by their Indian, Arab and Punjabi husbands from across lands and seas through trades and long sails.

A meal here promises an indelible gastronomy experience, and will hold a unique appeal for those with a special interest for civilizations of the olden times and their way of life.

What is Jawi Peranakan & Why is it Special?

Jawi Peranakan is a vanishing ethnic group. The term Jawi Peranakan refers to all Muslims born locally (in this case, Penang) who speak the Malay language and have a mixed Indian-Malay lineage. Over time, this particular ethnic group had grown to include those of Arab-Malay ancestry as well. During the mid 19th century, they were regarded as highly respectable figures within the British Malayan community due to their wealth and social status, and were recognized as the pioneers in setting up the first Malay newspapers across Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore and China.

Today, however, the Jawi Peranakan community has dwindled to less than a tenth of its former size in the last few decade. Although Penang used to be their largest settlement, the number of families continues to shrink today because many of them have chosen to register themselves as "Malays" - causing a drastic and unexpected loss of identity among this ethnic group.

Jawi Peranakan Cuisine in Pulau Pinang, Malaysia

The Jawi Peranakan are particularly known for their use of the lemuni or simpleleaf chastetree leaves in their cooking. It provides numerous medicinal benefits such as lowering blood pressure, treating common colds, fevers and headaches, as well as liver issues. Notable dishes include the distinct fragrant lemuni rice, laksa lemak (a type of rich, spiced coconut milk gravy), acar buah (fruit salad) and Jawi Bamieh (lamb stew with okra). The preparation of each of these dishes require a lot of spices and herbs that are loaded with iron, protein and vitamins which are particularly beneficial to women.

Want to taste and experience these Jawi Peranakan dishes for yourself? Jawi House has it all!

Signature Dishes of Jawi House Cafe Gallery, Pulau Pinang

Stepping into Jawi House Cafe Gallery instantly brought a feeling of unpretentious homeliness with its warm and inviting color scheme and antique treasures. Despite its cluttered and thronged interior, the house unfailingly exudes a welcoming vibe and comfort that allows the diners to connect intimately to a culture that is unfamiliar to them.

Once seated, we were served with appetizers which include Serabai - a dish of silver dollar rice pancakes served with the restaurant's specialty caramel kaya dip to start the meal on a sweet note. Next comes the Cucur Udang - a popular northern Malaysia snack of crispy prawn fritters that are to be dipped in a sweet and savory peanut sauce.

Serabai (RM14) Malay-style rice crumpets served with homemade caramel kaya dip

Cucur Udang (RM18) Baby prawns and vegetable fritters battered and fried till golden and crisp and served with a peanut sauce.

The mains were then brought to the tables. The first dish is Jawi House's specialty dish: Jawi Bamieh which is a distinguished Jawi Peranakan stew prepared using boneless lamb in a tomato base with plenty of herbs. It is topped with raw okras and served alongside thick slabs of toasted Benggali bread. The Jawi Laksa Lemak also deserves a mention: It is a beautiful symphony of typical Malay indulgence and traditional Jawi elements that elevates an ordinary bowl of rich, creamy laksa with very carefully selected choice of spices.

Labu Sayong: Affordable Malay Fine Dining in Ipoh, Perak

The largest ethnic group in Malaysia consists of the Malays, yet ironically, Malay fine dining is unusually hard to come by in this country. Perhaps, great importance has been given to preserving the food heritage and origin, so much so that many local chefs have shied away from the idea of contemporary and fusion cooking.

The choices may be limited when it comes to Malay fine dining in Malaysia, but here's one that is up for consideration if you'd like to venture into a new frontier of culinary innovation during your next visit to the country: Labu Sayong Signature located at Meru, Perak.

Labu Sayong was recently recognised as the Best Malay Cuisine & Heritage-Theme Restaurant by the Malaysia Tourism Council

Labu Sayong is a name given to a gourd-shaped clay carafe that was traditionally used to keep the drinking water cool.

Labu Sayong Signature Restaurant, Ipoh, Perak

Our visit to Labu Sayong has a very specific purpose: to sample its 4-course lunch which included an appetiser, soup, main course, dessert and drink. Upon our arrival, we were warmly greeted and ushered to a Rumah Kutai - a traditional wooden house of Perak built on sturdy stilts. At the top of the stairs, we removed our shoes and entered the restaurant that was fortunately and considerately air-conditioned so we could dine in blissful comfort (it must have been about at least 35°C outside!).

Labu Sayong welcomes diner to an exceedingly authentic and immersive cultural dining experience set in a Rumah Kutai - the traditional house of Perak.

Expect nothing less than the warmest Perakian hospitality once you've stepped into the restaurant.

Labu Sayong Signature 4-Course Fine Dining (RM68/person)

A shot of rejuvenating lemongrass drink to start the meal off

Appetiser: Tenggiri Kepai Pandan Udang Kertas

Mackerel is one of the most important fish in Malay cooking. The oily, omega 3-rich fish can easily be found in wet markets and is a delight to consume as it is fleshy and less bony. Labu Sayong has recreated this very ordinary dish and turned it into a showpiece by grounding the flesh and molding it into a bite-sized morsel in a pandan envelope, served alongside a shelled prawn encased instead in a layer of shredded spring roll skin and fried until golden. These are to be coated in the luscious black seafood sauce laid out across the plate. Don't be fooled by what seems to be tobiko - the orange roe-like mass is really just faux couscous caviar.

The idea of using a butterpea flower to localise the dish is commendable, though I do feel that it may have stolen the limelight from the star ingredients instead of just fulfilling its role of enhancing the presentation.

Tenggiri Kepai Pandan Udang Kertas Traditional baked mackerel fish mousse with crispy prawn & seafood black sauce

Soup: Rusuk Kambing “Tongkat Ali” Kelapa Muda

This dish is a feast for the eyes. The lamb soup is cooked with onion, aromatic lemongrass and the highly appreciated tongkat ali (a booster of athletic performance, endurance and energy) in a hollowed out coconut and is saucily concealed under a layer of crisped spring roll. The heartily stewed ball of minced lamb has been removed from the soup and is skewered with a lemongrass stalk, placed artfully across the soup. To enjoy the dish, simply pierce through the spring roll casing with the skewer.

When the spring roll soaks in the soup, it becomes thickened and noodle-like (think pappardelle).

Rusuk Kambing “Tongkat Ali” Kelapa Muda Aromatic soup of lamb with onion, lemongrass & Tongkat Ali root in coconut

Main Course: Ikan Purba Kala Sayong & Nasi Lemuni

The name of this dish literally means "the ancient fish of Sayong". The thoughtfully deboned seabass is marinated with 27 types of local ingredients and is deep fried and served deluged in a bird eye chili and ginger sauce. Just like many other Malay dishes, it comes with one part rice and one part dish. The seabass (topped, again, with crispy shredded spring roll skin) is accompanied with an equal portion of Nasi Lemuni - a unique type of rice originating from the northern states of Malaysia. It is cooked to the perfect softness and fluff together with lemuni leaves, coconut milk, garlic, onions, ginger, fenugreek seeds, salt and fragrant pandan leaves. The brownness from the cooked rice is from the juice of the lemuni leaves, which contains various essential nutrients.

Ikan Purba Kala Sayong & Nasi Lemuni Deep-fried 700gm seabass stuffed with 27 local ingredients accompanied with bird eye chili ginger sauce, vegetables & Lemuni Rice

Dessert: Putri Gunung Ledang dan Pisang Goreng Rangkai

Another incredibly beautiful dish by Labu Sayong - this surpassingly stunning dessert is almost too beautiful to be eaten. It comes in two parts: rice flour dumpling stuffed with sweet dates and sesame in coconut gravy served in the most fascinating handcrafted bowl made using ice and flowers, and deep-fried banana topped with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream and of course, more shredded spring roll skin.

What I love: The creativity, colours & amazing composition. Also, both the dumplings and fritter are very traditional Malay desserts, so the selections are on point!

What I dislike: The fact that a piece of napkin is included in the plating shows that although the idea of an ice-bowl is praiseworthy, it is however, not fully thought through. An incredible concept that requires just a dribble of fine-tuning!

Amazing efforts and creations by Labu Sayong, Ipoh

Labu Sayong Signature Review: Final Thoughts

There are many things that I love about this restaurant, but there are also a few things that I'd like to point out:

1. Fine dining at a knockdown price: Bandar Meru Raya is a newly established township in Ipoh (the capital of Perak state) which is approximately 2 hours away from Kuala Lumpur by car. Since the cost of living is relatively cheaper outside of the city, diners can enjoy a full 4-course meal at an absolute bargain at only RM68 per person, including an appetiser, soup, main course, dessert and drink.
2. Overused of the spring roll skin: Every dish comes with at least a version of garnish made from spring roll skin.
3. Amazing efforts, subpar ingredients: Caviar-lookalike, below par vanilla ice-cream. I can only imagine how amazing the dishes will turn out if every component is kept to a certain standard.

All in all, the fine-dining experience at Labu Sayong Signature was an eye-opener and it's a quick and excellent way to familiarise oneself with the Malaysian Malay cuisine. From dining in a traditional Rumah Kutai to tasting highly unique dishes that are only specific to a certain region in the country, the experience is not only immersive and enveloping, but is also incredibly easy on the pocketbook.
