Peranakan, also referred to as Baba-Nyonya at times in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, are the descendants of Chinese immigrants who came to the Malay archipelago way back then. The food therefore, is a fusion of the Chinese and Malay cuisine such as Nyonya Laksa, Assam Laksa, Pongteh and Chicken Kapitan. Here at Baba Melaka, the usually pricey Peranakan food, is pretty affordable and totally wallet-friendly, as nothing is over $7 on the menu! Priced so reasonably, the hard work that goes into cooking Peranakan dishes definitely increases the value of the food. With their Nyonya Assam Laksa priced at $3.50 and Ayam Buah Keluak with Steamed Rice priced at $5.50, you can try a whole range of delicious dishes on the menu without breaking the bank, which is a huge bonus!
