Quite a nice place to bring people for a nice lunch, expect to budget around SGD $40 to 50 per pax for a group of 5 if you want more options. The architecture and Peranakan elements are interesting. The service is quite friendly. Ayam buah keluak, babi pontek The pulat hitam dessert is quite nice. The laksa has pineapple, which might be a bit unusual for some people.

Ambience: 5⭐ Beautifully decorated. Peaceful place. Quite a cultural experience, not just culinary. Service: 4⭐ Service staff are friendly and polite. Attentive, will come when called. Food: 5⭐ Generally, portions are quite small (except for the curry fish head), though this seems to be the case for most peranakan restaurants in SG. For 2 pax, expect to order at least 4 dishes. Bakwan Kepiting: 7/10 The mild flavour of the soup balances out the strong flavours of the other dishes. I'm a bit more sensitive so can tell there's still a very faint odour from the pork that's not being removed during the preparation process. But my bf couldn't taste it, so for him it's all good. Inchi Kabin: 10/10 One of the best fried chicken I've had, not too oily to boot. Taste very different from (and imho much better than) the western-style fried chicken. Highly recommend. Sambal Ladyfingers: 10/10 Excellent cook on the ladyfingers, not slimy at all. Generous ratio of sambal. Interestingly, sambal is not very spicy, but I feel that this is one of the better sambals I've had. Buah Keluak Fries Rice: 5/10 Can't taste the buah keluak at all, though might be because it was overpowered by the other dishes we ordered. There was a fair bit of other ingredients/meat in the fried rice though. Kari Kepala Ikan: 10/10 Ordered the half portion. This is actually enough to be shared by 3 pax. Mildy spicy, creamy curry with coconut milk being the most outstanding flavour. Both the fish and the roasted veggies in the dish are excellent.
