After checking into our budget
hotel we wandered around the vicinity looking for a place to have lunch and
chanced upon a quaint little restaurant selling 1Nyonya dishes.
1Straits-born Chinese
We walked in and were suitably
impressed with its simple yet tasteful décor which reminded me of my late
grandmother’s kitchen.

Like the ambience and décor, the
dishes had a distinct homemade feel about it right down to the crockery and utensils.

As we dined, the proprietress entertained some people who
were interested in the furniture and fittings. Intrigued, we asked her if she
sold furniture as well. Stifling a laugh, she explained that Yeti Nyonya
Delights will be closing down soon and she was hoping to dispose of all its furniture,
fixtures and fittings possibly lock stock and barrel.
Ah, what a shame. This turned out to be the first and last
time we got to enjoy the almost homemade wholesome dishes at Yeti Nyonya
Delights.
