Satay Inn of Sino Hotels unveils “Authentic Nyonya” menu to celebrate traditional Peranakan fare this summer. The promotion menu available at all three branches of Satay Inn at Royal Pacific Hotel, City Garden Hotel and Hong Kong Gold Coast Hotel from 1 August to 30 September 2019 promises to delight devotees of South Asian cuisine.

Without travelling miles, discerning food connoisseurs can now visit Satay Inn to sample the authentic Nyonya recipes brought by native Malaysian Chef Danny Lai, Executive Chef of Royal Pacific Hotel. The menu harmonises all the essential traits of Nyonya dishes including freshness, sweetness, sourness, spiciness and rich flavours. It is an exemplar of authentic Nyonya tastes.

Begin the Nyonya culinary journey with Malaysian appetiser platter - Jackfruit pork satay, chicken satay, deep-fried popiah. Served with savoury homemade peanut sauce, the chicken and pork skewers are marinated with spices and grilled to perfection, with juicy jackfruit interlocked in between to enhance the taste of the meat cubes. The deep-fried popiah is spring roll in Nyonya style filled with jicama, dried shrimp and shredded carrots. The nourishing Sea cucumbers and clams soup uses aged chicken and Yu Zhu broth as its base, perfectly saturating the fresh sea cucumbers and clams with the natural sweetness of the broth. Braised pork belly in fermented soy bean sauce, the melt-in-your-mouth pork belly pieces are deeply infused with the soy bean sauce and linger with its distinctive aroma. Prawns and pineapple in coconut curry, also known as “udang masak lemak nanas” is an iconic Nyonya dish that is usually served during festivals and family celebrations. The tongue- tingling curry is packed with aroma from spices and coconut milk, along with bursts of sweetness and acidity from the pineapple, and succulent prawns. Sign off the meal on a sweet note with the traditional Pandan pancake wrapped with caramelised banana, coconut ice cream and fresh mango.

The Nyonya culture (also known as Peranakan) arose from the interracial marriage between Chinese and local South Asians in the 16th Century, while Nyonya denotes the female descendants from the intermarriages. Nyonya cuisine is a concoction of South Asian and Chinese culinary traditions that has flourished with the Nyonya ladies who embrace the essences of both cuisines to create their unique style of fusion recipes. The Nyonya recipes carry Chinese culinary legacy in its cooking techniques including stir-fry, deep-fry, pan-fry, braise and stew, while incorporating indigenous Southeast Asian ingredients, especially the spices and herbs. Nyonya cuisine tends to be richer in flavours from the abundant use of coconut milk and spices.
