Richly flavoured beef braised till tender and complement with chillies, ginger and 7 spices blended in coconut milk. Shiok!
Finding authentic heritage food these days are challenging. More often than not, even if they claimed to be made with good old recipes, they are products of central kitchens.
Here I’ve highlighted eight homemade dishes (including dessert) designed to be shared with family and friends — available at Folklore exclusively from 4th to 19 February 2019.
Their food was a little less expensive and felt a little bit more down to earth than Candlenut.
Prices are reasonable at The Blue Ginger and it is good value Peranakan food in my opinion. It is worth a return trip for sure.
It is recommended to go in a group so you could order more dishes to try but please do remember to make a reservation before going. Hope you have an enjoyable meal like we did.
The curry chicken was tender, lemak and coconuty, although I felt the flavours were a bit mild. The ngoh hiong and chap chye were similarly lightly flavoured.
That fried chicken thigh was exceptional. Meat was moist, no undercook parts, tender that you could get it off the bone easily and generously flavoured with spices and salt.
He is serving tasty and comforting Nonya fare at this stall that tucked away at the corner of this popular food centre.
Known for its ‘All You Can Eat’ Peranakan buffet, Chilli Padi Nonya Cafe at Heng Mui Keng Terrace now presents a new and refreshed Peranakan a la carte buffet concept.
I highly recommend this cafe for their wide variety of delicious Peranakan dishes at a reasonable price. I will definitely go back in the future with my family, on a day my dad is willing to drive.
Overall, IVINS is still a good Nyonya food place in Bukit Timah. The dishes may not use expensive ingredients or win Michelin stars, but it is nice to have a predictable and affordable Peranakan restaurant to go in the midst of many changes in the Singapore dining scene.
IVINS Peranakan restaurant has been at Binjai Park for a long time. They have another outlet in the Heartland Mall in Kovan.
We’re back with our Makan Kaki Lyn Lee, of Awfully Chocolate, Sinpopo Brand & now mooncakefair.com her new project, just in time for Mid-Autumn Festival.
The prawn noodles was very flavourful. While the prawn stock was on the lighter end of the spectrum, it packed a lot of umami and felt quite dense and layered. The ingredients were simple – prawns, hard-boiled egg that looked like a fishball, fish cake and noodles with fried shallots and spring onions – but the flavours were satisfying.

Old Bibik’s Peranakan Kitchen in Joo Chiat is a casual neighbourhood diner serving their signature Nyonya Beef Rendang, Grilled Sambal Barramundi, Ayam Buah Keluak and other Peranakan dishes. It is suitable for family meals, group gatherings or solo dining.
The recommended Braised Babi Chin is actually one of my favourite dishes ordered.
Annie’s passion for cooking and dedication to her craft really shows in her food, and that’s enough for a repeat visit.
For those who are unable to get a homecooked meal, this is a good alternative. The food is tasty, yet made with a lot of care and passion!
Casual dining concept with hearty food generoualy portioned- I will be back to try more for sure.
Having shared some recipe notes with Chef, I sense that the dishes that day just weren’t an accurate reflexion of his true potential.
The Real Peranakan is a new Peranakan cuisine restaurant opened in Hillcrest, spearheaded by Chef Philip Chia.
武吉知马新店位于私人住宅区里，装潢怀旧亲切，菜式摆盘卖相也朴实家常，感觉就像到朋友家里用餐一样。
Rumah Bebe in Katong has no regular menu, no dedicated dining hall and no fancy plating. Don’t expect anything close to white linen service.
We cannot think of a better place for good takeaway Peranakan food in the East than Rumah Bebe in Katong. You get flavourful dishes at reasonable prices.
We have already made another reservation to be back in July. I am so looking forward to try the rest of his menu.
While I won’t purposely make a detour to come here for Penang food, I reckon Gu Cheng is worth a try if you are in the vicinity and have cravings for that tangy-spicy bowl of laksa.
Oh, and there's some kueh if you like to end the meal with something sweet.
She firmly believes in serving good quality and healthier food for her patrons. Popo & Nana’s Delights promises a taste of home!
While I wouldn’t make a trip down to Maxwell Food Centre just to visit Popo and Nana’s Delights, I’ll definitely try their other dishes if I happen to be there!
Tingkat PeraMakan is the express version of PeraMakan, a Peranakan restaurant based at Keppel Club, which is also one of my favourite Peranakan restaurants to go to in the past.
These were really big ondeh ondeh, without the pop in your mouth ooze, but really qq outside and coconuty inside.
I tasted the Nasi Ulam, Nyonya Dry Laksa and Ayam Buah Keluak, and enjoyed them all.
TingKat PeraMakan Thomson Plaza is on level 3. The restaurant has an open layout – without borders. The kitchen and food preparation area is small. Some pre-packaged Peranakan food is available for retail.
We all enjoyed our dining experience at The Peranakan Restaurant, their dessert and kueh was good. If you are in town, why not give it a try.
