Peranakan Place, Auburn

Peranakans are descendants of early Chinese migrants who settled in Penang, 
Malacca and Singapore inter-marrying with local Malays.
They address themselves as Baba-Nyonya. 
Baba refers to men and Nyonya refers to women. 

Peranakan or Nyonya cuisine is a unique flavour combination of 
Chinese and Malay cuisines like this Nyonya Paper-wrapped Chicken recipe here.

It is tough to find Peranakan food in Sydney but today,
 I will share with you this exciting and often overlooked cuisine 

at Peranakan Place which only opened in Auburn a few months ago!

A bit far from where I live but the delicious authentic dishes make it well worth the drive. 

Also see more of Peranakan cuisine at Chilli Padi Nonya Cafe in Singapore.
