Nonya, Spicy and Hot
Housed on a quiet corner of Bernard, Nonya offers a mixed bag of Indonesian cuisine. Nonya’s pleasant, subdued atmosphere (there’s a lovely terrace) and friendly, helpful service including great food – make this a very special place.
Nonya’s slow cooked meats absorb an intense amount of flavour from its spice paste and the coconut milk in which it is cooked. Each bite explodes with chilli heat, hints of ginger and coriander seed and the subtle sweetness of the coconut.
Nonya offers three ‘risjtaffels’ (Dutch meaning “rice table”). An ultimate tasters menu of increasing complexity. What you get when you order one is pretty much a table of food, with over a dozen dishes delivered to your table. Dishes such as;
Nasi Putih, glutinous white jasmine rice wrapped in palm leaves. Rendang, aSumatran specialty of beef is a revelation for the taste buds. Udang Bakar, grilled shrimps marinated in red curry and lime leaf are just a few of the delicious blends dishes. Last and of course not least the dessert, a black rice pudding in coconut milk would want to make you want to carve another notch in your belt.
