>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.

2 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!

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!!!

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.

5 months agoI'm grateful to the people we met at our hotel who recommended we dine here. We didn't have a booking but thought we'd try our luck and we were so glad we did! Everything about the night was wonderful. The dining room is beautifully elegant, the traditional decor makes the occasion feel special, the staff were so super friendly and lovely! And the FOOD was heavenly. Kebaya is tucked away in an unprepossessing street but when you enter the doors - well - the atmosphere is superb indeed - set in one of those gorgeously restored Georgetown heritage buildings - thank goodness they are being appreciated and made the most of these days. Do yourself a favour and dine here, it's a treat but it's worth it.

4 months agoHad birthday celebration here. Ambience was great, deco is exquisite and cutleries are also representative of what I know about Peranakan culture. They even had a pianist playing live which was lovely.Amazing appetisers and main courses, we ordered 3 course meal for 2 people and only realised later that we over ordered as food was served in sharing style. We had thought that the appetisers would be served for one pax and we wanted variety.could have done 2 course and 3 course meal and it might have been enough. Dinesh who served us had amazing service and often checked in if food was good. He also offered us hot lemongrass tea at the end of the meal on the house to help with digestion and later he also gave food recommendations in Penang!Great service! would recommend for occasions worthy of celebration
