In a delightful heritage building in the heart of Chinatown, Madame Bee turns out excellent renditions of Peranakan dishes with local Terengganu influences. The award-winning chef's renowned dishes include Terengganu laksa made with a richly flavoured fish broth, and mee Jawa (sweet and sour yellow noodles) crammed with crunchy additions like yao char kuai (Chinese doughnuts) and peanuts.
