"LIZ CLARKSONInche Kabin, or Nyonya Fried Chicken, as Little Penang does.Wellington has always been spoiled for choice when it comes to authentic Malaysian cuisine at a good price. In the side streets and alleys of the city, you will find students and food lovers who feast on mee goreng and nasi lemak. When Little Penang arrived about five years ago, it was an immediate game-changer. Led by chef and owner Tee Chiew Phee (pictured) and her husband Keith, their dedication to authentic Peranakan (or Nyonya) cuisine was something very different from what was previously on offer in the city. This is in part due to the fact that some spices and herbs not available in New Zealand come from Penang itself. The resulting flavor and authenticity is what keeps this Dixon St restaurant constantly busy.LIZ CLARKSONA humble setting cannot mask the authenticity of Little Penang's dishes. Tee worked in the corporate world for many years before opening Little Penang, where her grandmother's recipes now reach a much wider audience. READ MORE* Restaurant review: Little Penang* The top 10 must-try dishes in Auckland, Christchurch, Waikato and Wellington LIZ CLARKSONTee Chiew Phee, chef and co-owner of Little Penang, imports many of the ingredients that make the restaurant's dishes so popular. Having grown up with Nyonya food, Tee is fully committed to cooking it in an authentic way. The tangy assam laksa is one example; it's unlike anything else available in New Zealand, and that's because Little Penang themselves brings Torch Ginger Buds from Malaysia. This humble restaurant is unique in New Zealand and Wellingtonians are lucky to have it.
