So we got take-out from the new Zion Road location (River Valley) last night, and let me tell you... SO GOOD!! First, picking from the menu. The lady at the counter (I think maybe the owner?) saw us looking at the menu. Once she realised that we had never had Peranakan food, she walked us through the menu, pointing out what we might like based on the type of things we liked. We loved that attention to our needs. Next, the money situation. We ordered our food and popped in for a quick beer next door while we waited. Once we came to collect and pay, we realised they were only taking cash payments that night. We, of course, had no cash. The lady who took our order said "No problem! The most important thing is that you enjoy the food. You pay tomorrow!" - we couldn't believe it, she never saw us before! In most places this would have been a super awkward situation, but she was so kind. We really appreciated this attitude, and could tell she genuinely wanted us to enjoy our meal. TOP POINTS! Finally, the food. OK I have never had Peranakan food before so I wasn't sure what to expect, but I have to say the food was fantastic!! I had the Ayam Buah Keluak and it was super tasty. The sauce was thick (but not too much) and flavourful, and the chicken was well cooked. There was also lots of chicken, not just two or three pieces. My husband had Beef Rendang which was also lovely, again - lots of meat and tasty sauce. We shared a fried rice with seafood in it (can't remember the name). Huge portion and so yummy! I could have eaten the rice on its own for my meal. Over all we had a great experience here. Give it a try, we highly recommend it!

Had my reunion dinner last night at Simply Peranakan!! Superb service and food was delicious!! Shireen was very attentive and observant towards our needs, checking if we wanted rice to go with the curry, serving water when she heard the kids saying “mama, i have finished my water..” Simply Peranakan is not just serving food, they are really into customer service! Strongly recommend this place for all events from family gathering, friends gathering, bringing guests from other countries etc! �

Great place and addition to the neighborhood. For those, like me, who get very tired of how bland Singaporean Chinese food can be ... this is far more sophisticated.
