Tina’s Kitchen

October 20, 2025

Was walking around and decided to enter Tina’s Kitchen ‘cos we wanna try local Nyonya cuisine! And we are pleasantly surprised but the dishes cooked by Tina herself! We ordered the nasi ulam, steamed lady’s finger and pig’s trotter soup. And we must say every dish is delicious! I also like that Tina has a staff while deaf and mute, is capable of taking orders and assisting customers. Thank you Tina and team for chatting with us and making our first evening at Penang so lovely!

Food - Homely Peranakan food that’s done well. Not very pricy too. We like the braised meat which goes well with the fried rice. Interestingly, they also sell durians, which we gladly ate after lunch. Service - Very friendly staff. Tina, the owner was also there and she’s nice and chatty. Atmosphere - It has pictures drawn by their customers pasted all over the walls, which is a nice touch. Goes to show how much the customers appreciate the food here. Would recommend coming here for meals.

If you are after some good quality and authentic, home cooked Nyonya food, then this is the place! I chose the Nyonya acar fish (pomfret) with steamed okra, and loved the bold and unique flavours used in both dishes. Tina was extremely polite and friendly, explained the ingredients used and shared her love for cooking, and her restaurant was decorated with artworks and beautiful messages from customers. Highly recommended!!

Before I came to George Town I looked up best dinner in Penang and then highest rated. Tinas kitchen was at the top of the list, so we decided to go there. It did not disapoint. From the moment we arrived we were welcomed and thoroughly shown the amazing menu. We decided on the pork lor bak...Yum and the amazing Mary's cream cheese rangoons which is also amazing. For the mains we had the Kapitan Curry, Nyonya Nasi Ulam and the Assam Tumis Stingray (which we are not a fan of seafood but wow, it's like chicken of the sea) So much passion goes into her meals and it shows. Thankyou Tina and your amazing staff for the best meal we have ever had. Hey Michelin you are missing an opportunity here. Coming back tomorrow.
