Singapore baba vs Penang nonya


The nonyas can discuss for hours, the merit of the sambal belacan.

The George Town Festival continues to surprise with yet another original idea: pitting a relatively under-the-radar Penang nonya cook against one of Singapore’s most articulate food writers and cookbook authors.

One of the highlight dinners of the festival, the North-South Peranakan Cook-off happening this weekend will see Lee Su Pei adding more cili padi to her sambal belacan to amp up her firing power when she meets her Singapore counterpart Christopher Tan.
