Food in Asia is best known for its uniqueness and exquisiteness in taste. I have travelled extensively across Malaysia over the period of the last twenty years and visited some of the best cities popular for food. I came across Nyonya food also known as Peranakan food which is quite a popular form of cooking in Penang as well as in Melaka. Nyonya food captures the essence of the rich culinary history of Malaysia.

Precious Old China Restaurant was interesting during my first visit to KL Central Market some ten years ago. I was looking for a quick lunch and walked up to the food court on the first floor in the Central Market (Pasar Seni) and was attracted by neon light signage and some lunch special offers posted at the entrance. Previously I had tried some Nyonya restaurants in Penang and fell in love with the curries and spicy ingredients of Nyonya dishes.
