Review
This restaurant has established itself as the place to go to for an extensive spread of satisfying Peranakan fare. The buffet format may have changed, as the dishes are now available à la carte and served tableside, but the signatures remain. Its quintessential ayam buah keluak—a generous serving of slow-braised chicken in a thick and spicy tamarind gravy enriched with buah keluak nuts—is simply irresistible. It’s so rich and addictive that you’ll do well with an extra serving of rice. Save some room for the babi pongteh though; the tender, braised pork is cooked in fermented soy bean sauce to give the dish a lift.
