Many Nyonya dishes has their roots in Malay dishes, and their version is slightly different. Plus Penang nyonya food is very different compared to Melaka or Singaporean version because of the influence from Thai cuisine. I am not an expert in distinguishing between Malay food vs. Nyonya food but the dishes I grew up eating, I reckon they are Nyonya food even though they are the Nyonya adaptation of Malay recipes. Malay recipes are absolutely delicious and I want nothing but to promote both cuisines, too.

I salute you for this wonderful website. I am sure recipes featured here are authentic Nyoya cuisines.

I am a little concern though that a lot of Malay foods which I knew and enjoyed growing up for a few years now have been labelled as Nyoya foods(at least to my knowledge and understanding). There are a lot of confusion now.

We want to celebrate both cuisines. I spent a lot of my childhood in Joo Chiat area, Singapore, one of the hubs of authentic Nyoyas and Babas.

Foods I know growing up as Malay, esp. Malay Kuih are now termed Nyoya. What then is the difference between Nyoya and Malay foods? This comment stems from genuine concern in order to preserve the wonders of both cuisines and WITHOUT PREJUDICE!

Experts from the culinary world need to make an effort in clearly identifying and distinguishing what is authentic Malay and Nyoya so we all can celebrate the joys of both cuisines.

I now live in the West and there is now more a need to explain to friends and families the origins of my cooking.

Once again I salute you for your efforts and I am sure this website at least makes an effort in featuring authentic Nyoya cuisines.

Thank you for taking time and effort in sharing your recipes.

Hi Ms Low Bee Yinn

Was Introduced to your website by my daughter’s friend who are both working in the UK. Have been following your updates on facebook. You have great recipes that I can relate to as I too grew up with my late mother and late grandmother who were both great nynonya cooks.

Thank you.

Thank you for the recommendation for the Lingham’s Hot Sauce. I did try to find it at a local Irvine Ca 99 Market on Culver but they did not carry it. Can you recommend a specific store where one can purchase it?

Thanks. Can’t wait to try it.
