Auntie Gaik Lean's Old School Eatery

Family-run Peranakan restaurant at 1 Bishop Street in UNESCO George Town, founded in 2013 by chef Beh Gaik Lean with her son Adrian Tan. It received Malaysia's first Michelin star for homestyle Nyonya cooking in 2022 and retained one star in the MICHELIN Guide Kuala Lumpur & Penang 2026. Expect traditional Baba-Nyonya dishes in a restored shophouse setting. Open Wednesday to Sunday for lunch and dinner sittings (roughly noon–2:30 and 6:00–9:30); closed Monday and Tuesday. Reserve ahead for groups, confirm current deposit and walk-in rules, and plan Bishop Street on foot from most heritage hotels.
