Hungrygowhere invited me to attend the
Heritage Village Nyonya which located at Jaya Shopping Centre, Petaling Jaya on last 31 July, 2014 for the food tasting review gathering bloggers. I surprised to get know the Jaya shopping re-open to all residents again so I happy to see it bring back our family's memories! I still remembered that my mom bring me went to visit a very old Jaya shopping mall since I was kid, and my family stayed in Petaling Jaya before we moved out to Penang.
My mom and I explored the Jaya shopping mall, it really are different and get more bigger space than last time, so it is very better! We walked to the
Heritage Village, which located at level 3, then we amazed with the beautiful theme nyonya which suitable for the
Heritage Village restaurant! I was very happy to meet
Siah Yi Ling, my ex-classmate from Multimedia University again! Finally, we meet each other after long 7 years ago! She are new to work with
Hungrygowhere, so cool!
I greeted by
Yi Ling and a staff of
Hungrygowhere so very warmly. She introduced the bloggers to me and my mom during we waited for the Nyonya dishes come! Do you know what is
Nyonya culture? It means
Peranakan culture (Babas & Nyonyas) with the assimilation of
cultures from the inter marriages of Malay and Chinese dating back to
early 15 century. So, they carried their own culture food is a class of its own resulting from the fusion of many traditional ingredients of Chinese food and Malay spices and herbs! My grandma's family also come from
Peranakan culture (Babas & Nyonyas), so my mom and I are Chinese of Hokkien & Nyonya family!

| Heritage Nyonya Plate (RM 19.90) |
 |
| Heritage Otak Fried Rice (RM15.90) |
We tried to eat a famous
Heritage Village's nasi lemak from a traditional method of steaming rice with fresh coconut milk with herbs and spices! So the founder's family heritage secret was begining in 1998, a founder's family served the nasi lemak from a food stall in the coffee shop, over a span of 3 generations of its founder's family, Madam Molly Khoo. It is become popular after she passed her family's hearitage to her family until today, it be a taste of a traditional Penang Nyonya Heritage!
For me, the Nasi Lemak are very special; "
Heritage Nyonya Plate" and "
Heritage otak Fried Rice" as high recommended for the Nasi Lemak lovers! First time, I see the rice fried with the Otak-otak served with fried chicken, egg and pie tee! So delicious! I also love a taste of fried chicken from "
Heritage Nyonya Plate"!

I still remember that my sisters and I loved to eat
Lor Bak, which made by my late aunt on everytime since we stayed at my late grandma's home in Penang.We raised by my dad's grandma and relatives in Penang, as we have sweet memories like Nyonya dishes cooked by my late aunt. That is why the
Lor Bak is a high-MUST to eat when we always back to our hometown in Penang on many times!
Nyonya Lor Bak, made up of fried tauhu, lor bak, century eggs with pickled ginger and fresh slices of cucumber. My family and I really miss it so much!

| Heritage Jiu Hu Char (RM12.90) |
Heritage Jiu Hu Char is a must have for Penang Hokkien families on festive seasons especially on Chinese new reunion dinner as my mom told me. Finely sliced sengkuang, carrots, dried squid and mushrooms are fried to perfection and eaten with fresh leafy lettuce. I love to roll the Jiu Hu Char with the veges so it is very easy to do it when we cook the home-dish by ourselves! :)
Assam Pedas fish is a classic nyonya spicy and sour dish, served with white rice. My dad loves to eat the assam pedas as always. Sometimes, my sisters and I eat the assam, because we cannot stand more spicy! That is why my parent are Nyonya, they can eat it so well!
 |
| Curry Fish Head (RM49.90) |
My mom and I surprised a big head's fish are inside the Nyonya curry with tomatoes, brinjals and ladies fingers! I think that the curry sauce are tasted so thick but, it is nice but my mom prefer the
Assam Pedas fish is better.
