The best Peranakan restaurants in Singapore
What is it? What started out as a successful private home dining business in Malaysia has since evolved into a standalone restaurant at Orchard Gateway. Chef-owner Danny Chew wanted to open a space where people could come together and bond over hearty Nyonya grub.
Why we love it: It's all about time-tested recipes at Bonding Kitchen. Think homemade kueh pie tee shells stuffed with the usual fixings of turnips, mushrooms, pork belly, prawns and more. Or classic ngoh hiang rolls that don't miss out a key ingredient – water chestnut. Other dishes include the hearty wagyu beef or pork rib rendang, stewed with over 15 types of local herbs and spices.
Time Out tip: The bakwan kepiting is a must-try, and pre-orders are necessary. This is a traditional Peranakan soup made of seafood, pork and chicken broth with bamboo shoots. Inside, you'll find chunks of pork and crab meat.
