On Mother’s Day, my family, including my siblings had lunch at Big Baba Restaurant in Taman Desa. I have heard of this restaurant last year but initially they were closed on weekends. Luckily they have since changed the operating hours. Been wanting to have nyonya food for a long time. The last time we had them was a few years back when we were in Melaka.
Big Baba’s food is very spicy. I have never had such spicy Nyonya food before. We ordered a few dishes which you can see from the photos below. Perhaps I have a rather high expectation before coming here from all the reviews I have read. However, I didn’t find the food really out of this world. This is just my opinion. If you like Peranakan food, do give them a try. We probably didn’t order their best sellers but I like the otak-otak.
The entrance
love this rustic blue door.
Interior
We had cincalok egg, four season vegetable (very spicy), petai sambal prawns, ayam pongteh and rolled minced chicken.
Otak-otak
Sambal udang petai looks good. Too bad it did not live up to your expectation. I guess sometimes a place can be overrated.
I love all the food shown here
