娘惹料理风味独特，以传统中国菜的煮法，加入多种马来香料调制，巧妙的融合两个民族的饮食特点。香料的搭配带有十足的热带风情，香气浓厚，微辣饱和的口味让人喜爱，如今已成为南洋国家最具代表性的美食。饮食文化的交融相当新鲜有趣，让我们做一个设想，假如发现槟岛的莱特船长与香料相遇，西式料理加入马来香料，究竟会产生怎样的实验性惊喜呢。
Nyonya cuisine has a very
unique taste which is the combination of both Chinese cooking technique and
Malay spices. This combination makes Nyonya cuisine so famous and well accepted
in Malaysia. Now, Nyonya cuisine has become one of the most representative
dishes in Southeast Asia. Nyonya cuisine has a unique blend of spices which
will improve your appetite. The blending of food culture is very interesting
which makes me thinking of when Francis meets spices at Penang Island. What
would it be if western cuisines combine with Southeast Asia spices?

KOTA Dine and Coffee – When Francis Meets
Rempah
餐厅的外观让人联想到建筑史上著名的梦幻玻璃屋——范思沃斯住宅，追求「少既是多」的极简主义。餐厅造型是一个透明玻璃盒子，对自然光全面开放，干净通透。柔和的木色调桌椅与绿色坐垫让空间变得更为舒适清新，空气自由流动，阳光下的绿意是对日常生活美好的渴望。顶楼是开放式的观景阳台，从内从或从外看，餐厅都带着一种诗意的几何结构之美，与城堡里的古迹风景相映成趣。
The appearance of KOTA makes
us thinking of the famous glass house in architectural history, Farnsworth
House, which pursues a minimalism concept: LESS IS MORE. KOTA is build like a
glass box which allows natural light to shine into the restaurant. The wooden
table and a touch of green on the chair bring in some warm into the restaurant.
It creates a great contrast between the modern architecture of the restaurant
and the historical castle.

招待我们的女服务生很亲切，每一道料理上桌前都会做简单的介绍和吃法，还送上印式薄饼给我们开开胃。其中一道主菜「娘惹」非常精美，四方印花瓷碗中一圈染蓝的椰饭，以经典的娘惹菜乌达做底，上层铺上仁当鸡肉和亞杂蔬菜，再以一片鲜艳的蓝色蝶豆花瓣和香菜点缀，摆盘赏心悦目，味道香浓，辛香口感的层次也很丰富。
甜点方面，「焦糖布蕾」香滑细嫩，脆口的外皮里面全是惊喜，三种本土口味，包括香兰、黑糯米、马六甲椰糖，从淡口味的香兰味吃起，甜而不腻，我们几个都很大赞好吃。饮料的选择并不惊喜，除了辛辣的姜茶外，没有留下特别深刻的印象。简而言之，不论是风格还是料理路线，KOTA都和很多本地咖啡馆不一样，实在是很乐见槟城古迹区的餐厅和咖啡馆有多元风格的发展趋势。
Their waitress is very friendly and helpful
where she explains each of the dishes served to us in detail. We are first
served with their complimentary papadum as a snack which waiting for our food
to get ready. Nyonya is coconut rice served on top of a layer of otak-otak. It comes
with rendang chicken and achar on the side garnished with butterfly pea flower.
The plating is so on point which is makes it looks more appetizing. Overall,
the taste is rich and full of texture. It is worth to try if you happen to pay
a visit.
For dessert, cream brulee is surprisingly
good with the smooth texture. It comes with 3 different flavors which include
pandan, gula Melaka and black glutinous rice. You should eat it according to
the sequence which is from the less rich flavor to the richest flavor. We like
it so much since it is not too sweet as we concerned about our body weight. For
the beverage, it is just normal which did not make much impression to us.

后记：
这是一篇农历新年的聚会纪录。早上出发前往乔治市走走散心，感受佳节气氛，然后前往「龙的传人」取新春盆菜，看贺岁电影，最后回家团聚吃盆菜，也庆祝部落格的收获和成果，顺便讨论接下来的旅行计划，希望旅途能越走越远。
This is our gathering during
Chinese New Year and we had booked Poon Choi from Dragon-I Grurney Plaza. Before we went to collect our Poon Choi, we walk around
Penang Island and have some bonding time. We had so much fun and discuss a lot
on how we start our blog 2 years ago.
