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.

    I'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.

    Had 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

    We chose this place and turned up without a reservation, it wasn’t a problem they seated us quickly. We sat down and chose to enjoy the 3 course option. We asked the waiter for recommendations on the first 2 courses and went with a couple of his options. He had an excellent knowledge of the food being served and how they tasted.Our appetisers arrived and everything is served share style, so they place them in the middle and help yourself. We had skewers and the sea bass in puff pastry with a sauce. The flavours were amazing. We loved these dishesNext up was main course, we chose the sweet plum duck leg and the chicken, we also chose the veggies and the sweet potato as greens. Both meat dishes were simply divine and we couldn’t pick between them which was the best. The veggies were served cold which we weren’t expecting however still had really great flavour to them.Finally we had the desserts, we had chosen the chocolate mousse and the Matcha Brûlée. The brûlée was incredible and the chocolate mousse was the only thing that maybe lacked just a touch. Overall the ambience, the service and the meal was top notch for us.

    Located within the Seven Terraces boutique hotel, this is a definitive Michelin Star Peranakan restaurant! NOT TO BE MISSED! The food is so so so good! The best Peranakan food I had ever tasted! The restaurant managed to further improved on traditional Peranakan dishes with their creativity, that had brought Peranakan cuisine to the next level! Flavours simply explode on your palate! You have to taste it to know what I meant LOL Portion is also huge! Service is also impeccable. The deco and ambient is typical of a Peranakan mansion of a wealthy family - part English and part Chinese, and lavishly decorated. So if you think this is a tourist trap based on the photos you see online, then you are so wrong and you don't know what you have missed LOL The price is also, dare me to say, cheap! This is a Michelin 1 Star restaurant you know! =) The is also a large alcoholic beverage selection and quite a large wine list =) This is one restaurant I will revisit when I next come to Penang! =)

    I had a delicious dinner at this elegant restaurant in George Town. It was a highlight of my visit in Penang. I opted for the 3 course meal and had a hard time choosing because everything looked so good. With some guidance from the maitre D’, I opted for the Otak Otak, a pastry stuffed with sea bass, and the Sambal Goreng. The service was excellent and attentive
