Auntie Gaik Lean's Old School Eatery @ George Town, Penang
No Pork, No Lard
Michelin 1 star (2023) restaurant.
It’s Nyonya restaurant since 2013. boss’s mother “ Auntie Gaik Lean” is 4th generation Nyonya who picked up her Nyonya cooking skills at the age of 12 years old.
I tried to make reservation by Website. But it was full. I couldn’t catch them by WhatsApp message or call. So I came to this restaurant just opening time 6pm.
(I hoped that since I was alone, they might let me in.)
The boss made a seat for me, and as I finished ordering, there was a single customer just one seat next to me who had jumped in and ordered just like me, so we hit it off and decided to share our food. Glad to get a lot of variety. Interesting experience!
All the dishes were very delicately and carefully prepared and I especially liked the nasi ulam (herbed rice), chicken Lor Bak and Pie Tee. The person I dined with raved about the eggplant seasoned with sambal.
Delicious nyonya cuisine served in a beautiful retro setting. It was a very satisfying dinner.
