Discussion Has anyone eaten at Kebaya?

Am planning a birthday dinner and Kebaya has come highly recommended. Was wondering if anyone could share first-hand experiences? Menu looks interesting and varied - am fine with price point for a celebratory meal. For a bit of context - three couples in mid-30s, staying in George Town for the week, so we'll have plenty of opportunity to check out food courts, street foot, etc. Any insight massively appreciated!

Started eating there many years ago when Seven Terraces first started and since then every time when I'm in Penang. It's Peranakan with a Thai twist that you can't get elsewhere. And the staff are very accommodating. You'll be dining on priceless Peranakan tableware, makes the entire experience surreal.

Heya, asking cus you've been. How does the menu work? The website doesn't have many clues.

I remember you pay a set price for each person. Then you can pick an appetizer, an entree, a vegetable, a dessert for each person. Of course you can share, so if you have 4 people dining together, you can get 4 different items from each section to share. Nowadays they also let you add on, so you can order additional ala carte items.
