Peranakan
The owner’s family opened Singapore’s first Peranakan restaurant in 1953 – this branch has been in the CBD since 2011. Ornaments and wooden furniture lend a Chinese aesthetic. The versatile menu features dishes made with local produce and lots of spices and herbs, all prepared using traditional Chinese cooking methods. Dishes to try include ayam buah keluak (chicken with local nuts) and ikan assam nanas pedas (sweet and sour fish).
