Description

Ceki is decorated in a traditional vibe with antique clothing and knick-knacks that tell a story from the past. The extensive menu is chiefly composed of home-cooked style Peranakan cuisine and features interesting dishes that can be hard to find, such as too kwa kean. The high-quality seafood menu features signature dishes such as assam pedas fish and sambal goreng prawns paired with a knockout herbal sauce. With only a few large tables, booking is advisable.

Review summary

Located in a heritage building in George Town, Ceki offers authentic Peranakan cuisine. Food quality receives mixed reviews; while many praise the delicious flavors and presentation, others find some dishes underwhelming or poorly executed. Service is generally attentive and knowledgeable, though aggressive upselling has deterred some guests. The atmosphere is quiet and elegant, reflecting its historic setting. Value is a significant concern, with several reviewers citing high prices relative to portion sizes. Additionally, slow meal pacing due to tableside preparation may inconvenience those in a hurry.
