Li Er Nyonya Cafe 莉儿 @ Burma Road, Georgetown, Penang

Due to the increased popularity of Nyonya Food in Penang, number of cafes selling Nyonya food is on the rising as well. One of the cafe that focuses on various Nyonya Kuih, rice and specially-designed Youtiao is Li Er, which is located at Jalan Burma. The cafe has been established some time and remained competitive in the tough market now, though it has been remained low-profile relatively compared to the other cafes.

The Lunch Set which comes between RM 11.90 - RM 13.90 is a good deal, as it is served along with a cup of drink and a piece of kuih. We picked Nasi Kerabu, which is Li Er own invention variant of Nasi Kerabu with blue pea rice that topped with shredded fried chicken, lettuce and great combination of sambal. Overall flavour of the meal is refreshing, and we particularly enjoyed the fluffy rice coupled with the crisp lettuce, then a little spiciness from the sambal heighten the taste even more.

Main highlight of the cafe would be the variety of Nyonya kuih. Served at the corner, you may pick any that caught your heart and head straight to your table, as the price calculation will be done later. Nevertheless, the price ain't cheap though thus be wary about what you pick.

The scrumptious Nyonya kuih managed to whet our appetite and made us crave for more!

Apparently Li Er Nyonya Cafe also cater for special catering request. For instance, during our visit the chef was busy preparing for a basket that full with elegant Nyonya kuih.
