>The Seven Terraces owned by Christopher Ong, a heritage-preserving and award winning hotelier, has worked with the hotel’s chefs to create a menu of classic Indo and Straits Chinese Nyonya dishes. Along with Chef Zac and Chef Kent, Kebaya had undergone reinterpretation and de-construction to deliver surprising new twists of elevation in its serving.
Prior to the opening of Kebaya, Chris has the luxury of working closely with both the chefs, Zac and Kent for more than six months. In the hardship battle to convince the Swiss-trained chef to venture into this path, Chris has guided the chefs into the right direction with the help of Nyonya aunties with a lifetime of Peranakan cooking knowledge.
Armed with their passed on secrets, Kebaya applies very innovative cooking methods using traditional Malaysian flavour profiles, Vietnamese lightness, Thai spiciness, and traditional French cooking styles. In this innovative produce, Kebaya delivers surprising new twists on this already fascinating cuisine.

3 months agoFood was more than great! Came here to celebrate honeymoon with my wife. Worth every dollar spent here. Service was good, food was great, atmosphere was even better. I like the traditional decoration along with someone playing the music. Would definitely revisit there again!

a week agoExcellent service and ambience.Very posh and elegant decor. Food selection was great. Service staff were very helpful in explaining the menu and make appropriate recommendations.Cocktail is not super wow but decent.Food was good, better than Auntie Gaik Lean in my opinion but it’s also pricer than them. So I guess it’s a give and take.Would absolutely come back here and try other items on the menu when I’m back to Penang again.

4 months agoA very charming & elegant fine dining experience. An interesting, delectable twist to Peranakan Food presented in a beautiful setting. Slightly pricey but justified with good ingredients & perfect execution!Every guest of mine enjoyed the experience. Met Colin, who was so engaging and showed us around the premises. Keep it up, I'll be back!!!

a week agoKebaya in Seven Terraces Hotel has become my top choice in Penang! This restaurant specializes in Indochinese and Peranakan cuisine, provides excellent value for money with generous portions. The 3-course menu includes a starter, proteins + greens, and dessert, more than enough for three of us to share. We began with the Crispy Foo Char Roll, Otak Otak, and Rendang Croque Monsieur. For our mains, we chose Prawn Geng, Hom Bak Lamb (New Zealand shank sous vide for 48 hours), and upgraded to Soft Shell Crab, accompanied by grilled eggplant, achar, and sambal goreng. To finish, we ordered the Pandan Crème Brûlée and Gula Melaka. Kudos to the chef for the exquisite flavors and to the attentive staff for their outstanding service! Would come back here in my next visit. It gets full so book in advance,

4 months agoWe had a dinner here on 31 July 2024. We came here because we want to try peranakan cuisine that was recommended by michelin, and we were pleased with everything they provided here. From the moment we entered, till we left, everything was just right. The staffs were friendly, and there is this particular staff brought us around to introduce the place, the hotel and telling us the stories behind these buildings, which make us appreciate the place even more and the effort the owner put behind it, we are very grateful to him (i forgot to ask his name and he is from kl). The ambient is great, and the deco is insta worthy. Each of the dishes is great. The one I like the most is the beef caramelized with jam. Overall, it was a great place to dine.
