Nasi Ulam is a delectable rice salad of raw herbs and vegetable, fried fish and salted fish, all of which have to be very finely julienned and hand minced and normally takes hours to prepare, but satiates the taste buds and senses a long long way.2) Kueh DadaKueh Dada is a popular Nonya dessert and can be found in Singapore and Malaysia. It consists of luscious gula melaka grated coconut wrapped in a fragrant pandan pancake.3) Apom Bok KwaLiterally means “pancakes with an accompanying sauce”. The cake is yeast leavened rice flour cake while the twirl comes from the Blue Pea Flower.4) Apom BalikTruly a Nonya delight, this folded pancake can be filled with a paste with any kinds of fillings like banana, coconut, red bean and even our hot favourite, Durian!! The only challenge is whether you make them faster than you eat.About the restaurantThe Peranakan opened its doors in June 2016 and
it is currently the only Straits Chinese cuisine restaurant along the Orchard
Road belt. The restaurant seats 120 and it’s décor
reminisces the home of a wealthy Straits-born merchant with Straits style
marble tables and wooden chairs, ornate mirrors, chandeliers and tiles that
reflect the Peranakan culture and taste in that era. There are different
sections in the restaurant from a main dining room, courtyard style seats and
even a private dining room area for parties and special events.
Peranakan meals comprise a generous
selection of mouth-watering and aromatic gravy-rich and sometimes spicy dishes
usually served with rice. The restaurant’s signature items include it’s unique ‘Tok
Panjang’ – a long-table 8 to 12 course grand Peranakan feast, once served
at the turn of the century, by wealthy Straits families to mark special
occasions like weddings, anniversaries and important birthdays. There is also a
Chef’s
Table Set Menu, and a new all-day High Tea.
The Peranakan is open daily from 11am to 10pm. Updatestag:peatix.com,2017-06-13 07:44:202017-06-13 07:44:20The event description was updated.
