The menu at Flower Mulan Nyonya Café is a celebration of rich, time-honored flavors, each dish thoughtfully crafted to honor Nyonya culinary heritage. Some of the must-try specialties include:
Jiu Hu Char
A beloved staple in Penang Nyonya households, this dish features a fragrant stir-fry of shredded cuttlefish, yam bean (jicama), carrots, and mushrooms, offering a perfect balance of umami, sweetness, and crunch. Traditionally served with fresh lettuce wraps and a touch of sambal, it is a dish that embodies the comfort of home-cooked Nyonya fare.
Achar
We love how they make the achar. The vibrant, tangy, and spicy pickled vegetable medley, Achar is a delightful side dish that brings bold flavors to the table. Made with cucumbers, carrots, and cabbage, and marinated in a fragrant blend of turmeric-infused vinegar, chili, and aromatic spices, it offers a refreshing contrast to rich Nyonya main courses.
Prawns with Petai
For those who love bold, punchy flavors, this dish is a must. Succulent prawns are stir-fried with petai beans (stink beans) in a fiery sambal sauce, creating an explosion of spice, umami, and slight bitterness. A favorite among spice enthusiasts, this dish perfectly encapsulates the intense and aromatic essence of Nyonya cooking.
Asam Fish
A star dish of Nyonya cuisine, Asam Fish is a tangy and spicy tamarind-based fish stew, traditionally prepared with stingray or mackerel. Simmered with okra, tomatoes, and eggplant, the dish strikes a perfect balance between sourness and heat, making it a soul-warming, appetizing favorite among Nyonya food lovers.
