The roasted pork is delicious, the skin is crunchy yet the meat is tender and juicy. The taste is just perfect with a touch of nyonya aroma. The price you pay is cheap and you get superbly fresh roasted pork upon request, it's just a touch from heaven.

This is truly a hidden gem of Penang, Malaysia. The Heritage Artisans host private dining events and cooking classes in the comfort of a heritage house in the quiet neighborhood in George Town, Penang.
The family of Chefs preserve the heritage of the bygone Baba-Nyonya culture, carry on the tradition and value of their fore forefathers, and bring Penang Nyonya Cuisine to greater heights and the best part is, they are so willing to share their culinary secrets. They only use the finest and freshest ingredients in preparing the dishes, food that are prepared from their hearts and passion. Highly recommended if you visit Penang. However, advance booking is required to secure a seat, they are always fully booked. Luckily I booked two months ahead and this dinner is so worth it.

Thank you Baba Jerry and Nyonya SuPei for the wonderful dining experience true to your heritage.
Salute to the fine culinary skill match every note of the taste and flavors. Every dish served with its story behind it and every bite is a memory for me to bring home lingering again now thinking about the sweetness in the chilli and tangyness of assam and fragrant of the spice and all.. it leave your mouth watery, tummy full and food memory rich. Thank you.
Super loving couple that pair the great food and stories of their heritage that goes along. Each dish is serve and carefully design from different taste you can find in Peranakan dishes. Not too overwhelming but pleasantly fulfilling your taste bud and tummy.
If you are looking for authentic, personal and most of all true whole and real food that's make from scratch which is not hidden behind the bling bling of decor and dim lights and most expensive ingredients. Call Heritage Artisan they will never fail you.
Heritage artisan serve us with no non sense and down right to every single ingredients that is truely whole food. Even the curry powder is home made, 5 spice is hand pick spices and made to the best of its flavor.. if you if put value of the food in the food and not in any bling and expensive stuff then you know it's worth every single cents.
I bet not many chef out there will grind you that curry powder or five spice and serve you on their dish except Heritage Artisan.
Love every single bite and every second of the dining.
THANK YOU Baba Jerry and Nyonya Su Pei.

THANK YOU to Nyonya SuPei for fulling my long craving for good nyonya food for the last 6 months, and they agreed to cater for me and my family. We had the kerabu kacang botol, ponteh pork, tumis fish, curry chicken, stir fried minced pork with potato (for kids)... all dishes were good and everyone enjoyed thoroughly with such a feast.
Thank you again to Nyonya SuPei for making our day of feast!

Me and my partner decided to reserve a private dining with Baba Jerry and Nyonya Su Pei after reading all the reviews. I must say that was one of our best decisions during our travels.
They have prepared the food using the local and freshest ingredients, and it was a labour of love. They prepared most of the seasoning by themselves from scratch, and also they have explained the story behind each dish. The flavours of the dishes were just out of the world.
Me and my partner are both very passionate about food and it’s great to meet someone who shares the same passion as well as having an open mind. Baba Jerry was very kind to share his knowledge with us as well.
Keep up the good work Baba Jerry and Nyonya Su Pei!

My wife & I were privileged to be included in a family feast to celebrate the 80th birthday of a much loved lady who is well known for her gracious patience and generosity.
The family chose Heritage Artisans. Chef Baba Jerry exceeded all expectations with the quantity, quality and complexity of flavours. Before each course, chef Jerry illuminated it with commentary on the history and development of components of Peranakan cuisine.
There are many highly skilled chefs who can put excellent food on a plate, but how many can include passion, history, culture and some of the science as well?
It was a most suitable fit with the nature of the birthday lady.
My wife and I are in our 60’s, and agree that this is the richest restaurant experience we’ve had.

Baba Jerry, Nyonya Su Pei and Nyonya Chin See were awesome hosts, they even accommodated our request for vegetarian versions of nyonya dishes to go with nasi lemak. They even came up with creative fusion dishes like vegetarian Lotak - it was deepfried mushroom otak-otak wrapped in bean-curd skin...and it was absolutely amazing, goes very well with the nasi lemak. I especially like how fragrant their rice was, and their newly launched super spicy XiMiLaJiao.
They are so knowledgeable of the peranakan food culture and food , and our company enjoyed their sharing. Would definitely recommend for team building dinners or to host guests so that we can share our culture with the rest of the world.
Hope they provide more variety of vegetarian selections.

I’ve not had such palatable pleasures in Nyonya cuisine in my life of globe trotting, especially in a private dining environment.
The combination of some unique features in this particular private dining was the best experience ever. First, you’ve got a humble host who treats you with respect, a comfortable and safe environment away from the ceaseless chatters from all sides of even the most expensive restaurants I’ve been to, the natural ingredients hand picked by the chef, and sauces that are prepared just for the very well sequenced bespoke dishes, authentic recipes passed down from five generations of Nyonya culture in Penang, very personalised story-telling and food related histories, and very well timed arrangements of well decorated vessels of delights.
I’m giving this a 5 star, I shall visit again just for the experience!

We were there many months ago and I still remember the experience vividly. I was hoping for a unique dining experience and was delighted with the way the evening progressed. Situated in a private conservation corner home in a quiet and safe neighbourhood, we entered into the main living area converted to a private dining room with two tables arranged for what looks to be two couples. The place was air conditioned, very clean and well lit. Baba Jerry welcomed us and was the perfect host the entire evening. He shared his knowledge of the Peranakan people: their history, culture and cuisine generously, explaining how each dish was cooked, what ingredients made them special, how to eat them and why eating them differently would bring out different taste profiles. After dinner, we had a tour of the kitchen and met with Nonya Su Pei who cooked all the dishes. It was wonderful to be able to learn from the both of them and to experience their culture in their own home. I would not hesitate to recommend this experience to every one.

Heard about the raving review regarding this hidden gem of Penang Peranakan Cuisine. It is presented in a private dining style and there is no menu given! We just sat down and enjoy the night with Chef Baba Jerry's detailed introduction of the history of Peranakan Culture and its Cuisine. At the meantime, we truly enjoyed Chef Nyonya Su Pei's labor of love. To name two of the many unique dishes that is not found in most Peranakan Restaurant, here we got the Oh-Tar, a Penang Hokkien dish that symbolizes Unity in a family. And the delicious Sambal Kio, which the Sambal stir fried eggplant. We truly appreciate the chef's passion to educate and preserve the Peranakan Culture and Cuisine of Penang. Bravo to Baba Jerry and Nyonya Su Pei for providing us such a memorable evening!

We are a bunch of discerning foodies as well as food tour guides who scour the width & breath of Penang & Malaysia for authentic traditional home cook food using authentic ingredients & methods. And we were directed to try at Nyonya Su Pei’s private dining. By golly.... we hv never looked back ever since & hv been returning time after time to try out their repertoire of dishes that ranges fr the unique buah keluak ( pangium edulae nut ) curry prawns, pork ribs to the simple yet satisfying stir fry Crunchy pork lard bits. Comfort food that are common in olden days home but scarce now.
Service was excellent with lots of infos shared abt the history of those dishes, ingredients in used & the science behind the cooking.
Won’t hesitate to recommend to everyone whom seeks authentic homestyle Peranakan dining in Penang. Will be organizing another dining once the Covid19 pandemic situation improves.

Heritage Artisans' private dining is not only agastronomical feast, but also an enlightening evening. From the serving of the amuse-bouche right up to the dessert, the host shares the rich customs, traditions, and traditional cooking
pointers that goes into the dishes that you're enjoying. This gives one a better sense of appreciation and of course, an invaluable insight into Penang's unique heritage.
As for the dishes served, it was a feast of flavours. The perfect combination of flavours and textures. Dishes were meticulously prepared from heirloom
recipes that conjures up images of grandma and childhood memories of family gatherings around the dining table to feast. Food memories are made of these!
With immpeccable service and a warm ambience, it's highly recommended for a wonderful 'Peranakan' cuisine experience like no other.

Baba Jerry is clearly very passionate about the heritage of his food. You will be in their home and they do their best to make it cosy but know that it will be simple. The prices reflect the care paid to the ingredients (ie: our fish belanda featured fresh line-caught red snapper) and the incredible attention given to preparing them (ie: veggies diced into the shape of diamonds). We lingered a little after dinner to have a chat with Baby Jerrry & his wife Nyonya Su Pei (her Nyonya trifle with tuak & pulut hitam was superb) - there was just so much to learn and ask, etc. Flavours are delightful and delicately balanced. It made for a wonderful evening spent tasting some unique Nyonya fare with a little history lesson thrown in.

I had wanted to try peranakan food for the longest time, as well as private dining. Hence I've decided to put both together and found Heritage Artisans! I will have to say that my five days Penang trip, this is my main food highlight of the whole trip.
Nyonya Supei and Baba Jerry have been very generous with the food portions. I had my belly distended by the time I leave, which Baba Jerry humorously warned me beforehand having to ‘wear a rubber pants to their place’.
The décor in the home is minimalist, yet homely with an industrial touch. The location is easy to find as well, located on the outskirts of Georgetown.
It was interesting to understand how peranakan culture is like in Penang, and how different it is from that in Malaysia and Singapore. Dishes are Thai influenced due to proximity to Thailand. Baba Jerry is also very passionate in sharing his knowledge about different cuisines with the guests.
Of all the food, the desert has left me the greatest impression it is a good representation of East meets west. Imagine a delicate sponge cake doused with Brandy, topped with crunchy and chewy Pulau Hitam, fresh homemade coconut ice cream and lastly whipped cream that is lightly salted served elegantly in a glass cup with golden spoon. Each bite is filled with a mixture of flavours – first you taste the savouriness of the whipped cream, then the sweetness of the ice cream, and hear the crunch of the pulau hitam, lastly ending of with mild bitterness from brandy.
Another of my favourite is the preserved vegetables and pig trotters soup. I was amazed to hear from Baba Jerry that it took him three days to prepare the food! I was able to smell the preserved veggies from meters away, and the pig trotters were cooked till perfection.
The main draw behind Heritage Artisans is its history. If you have an opportunity to speak to Baba Jerry, do find out from him how the place even started! It’s a story of passion, and more importantly, dedication to passing down the Peranakan Heritage to the generations beyond. By coming to their little abode, you are doing your part in ensuring the Heritage continues :)

An amazing meal presented by people committed to preserving the traditions of Nonya cuisine in a "home setting". Baba Jerry and his team put you immediately at ease with their welcome followed by a verbal history of Chinese migration to Malaysia and the subsequent fusion of Chinese cooking techniques to local ingredients.
The meal served was a tour de force of the freshest local ingredients treated with respect and served with a comprehensive explanation.
A wonderfu evening that I will gladly repeat.
