BibiChik is back: SS2's Nyonya dining institution closed in mid-2024 after more than 28 years in business but has relaunched this month under fresh ownership, with a full physical facelift.
For BibiChik's loyal fans, the restaurant's longtime chef remains in charge of the kitchen, ensuring that pongteh chicken, assam fish, lemak nenas prawns, crispy brinjals and joo hoo char stay entrenched on the evening menu.
There are new temptations to lure contemporary customers.
For lunch, Bibichik currently serves only nasi lemak, a contender for one of PJ's most pleasurable - fluffy, santan-saturated rice, full of fragrance in each distinct grain, complete with crunchy ayam goreng berempah and accompaniments with Peranakan flavours.
Dinner specials include decadent A5 Wagyu Rendang, relying on richly marbled Japanese top-tier beef, moistly stewed in classic Malaysian spices with coconut milk.
