Baba referred to guy, whereas nyonya referred to female. Baba Nyonya derived from union between chinese (non-local) and local malay.
My grandma's mum was a nyonya. Thus, my mother able to learn some nyonya dishes from my grandma. I didn't know the food that I used to love are a kind of nyonya food, till I grew up.
Came to Malacca, definitely got to try some local cuisine apart from visiting historical sites. Nyonya food is one of the choices that you should't miss.
My brother decided to bring us to try on this restaurant. Frankly, I wasn't attracted by the design, it wasn't catchy. Since my brother recommended it, we went for it.
亲切 could refer as hospitality or friendly. However, the waitress didn't seem very friendly to us. The reason could be it was almost their off time, and also the restaurant was crowded with people. 
After waited quite some time, our food finally being served. The portion was quite small, to serve 6 of us. We had to order more dishes. I love rice to be prepared with pandan leaf. It increased the fragrance of rice. It tasted more delicious.
Cha cai - mixture of vegetables. The main vegetable is cabbage. Personally, I like this dish. The vegetable was soft, and easily chewed. 
Fried egg tasted normal. My style of eating fried egg is to put on some sweet soya sauce. It made the egg yummy. 
Sambal prawn was normal too. The prawns' size is small, and the sambal was not spicy. 
Pong Teh with chicken was good. The sauce was gravy and chicken was tender. But, it was a bit salty for me. It is my favorite dish since young, my mum can cook well too. 
Salted duck soup. The meat was soft, but the soup was kinda salty. 
The asam fish's sauce is worth trying. But I disliked the fish with so much of bones. 
Otak-otak, specialty of Muar. We ordered it, it tasted delicious. 
Last but not least, the cendol wasn't up to expectation. It was too sweet. The red bean and the green grass weren't seemed fresh. 
The bill came with RM160++. We found it too expensive, and not really worth it. The food quality is normal and food portion is small. The ambience is still not bad. Anyway, here it goes the address
