The curry is spicy and rich in coconut, but just enough to give you that rich creaminess without overcompensating for the natural sweetness of the crab.
The setting of Candlenut is beautiful, and is definitely an ideal venue to impress your overseas friends or in-laws.
Overall I am really impress with the Chef Malcolm's interpretation of Peranakan cuisine. He has definitely elevated traditional Peranakan food to a new level that is acceptable to the international palate while not losing the its heritage roots.
The new premises are much nicer and more accessible than the old one.
