My interest of peranakan food had increased ever since the Xiao Niang Re show went viral past few years back. The combination of chinese & malay cuisine into a uniquely blend.Overwhelmed by the menu given to us from Ala Carte to set meals, my colleauges and I finally decided to go ala carte and share among ourselves.Ambience was pretty neat and clean with purple as its theme color. Sofa seating PVC covers are dark purple while ceiling is painted in light purple. The cashier counter table seems
Overwhelmed by the menu given to us from Ala Carte to set meals, my colleauges and I finally decided to go ala carte and share among ourselves.
Ambience was pretty neat and clean with purple as its theme color. Sofa seating PVC covers are dark purple while ceiling is painted in light purple. The cashier counter table seems pleasant and orientated.
When we asked for belacan chilli to be refilled, there is no 2nd question asked and we were given 3 times the portion as before. They are generous!
Ngoh Hiang: S$8.00This five spice meat balls are sufficiently tasty especially with a light tap of sweet sauce. Decorated with the chinese parsley in the bowl of 6 meat balls makes an outstanding dish out of the browish balls. Chunks of chestnut bites can be felt as we bite through the minced pork/fish meat balls. A total indulgence from Peranakan Cuisine.
Beef Rendang: S$12.00Dishes are generally served in small portions suitable for 4 pax. Beef rendang arent oily as expected, meat are tender and amazingly, doesnt stuck in between my teeth. To enhance the presentation out of the brown dish, it comes with a spice leaf on top of it. A signature dish of daisy's one should not have skipped.
Bakwan Kepiting: $5 x 2These meatballs served in soup are packed with minced pork and crab. Together with the crunchy bamboo shoots in the hearty prawn broth. Given a little kick with the generous portion of belacan, sets off the bouncy, crabby meatballs.
Chap Chye: S$8.00The nonya style mixed vegetables looks different. Where is the glass noodle? I find none. A unique taste different from all the nonya chap chye i had tasted so far. Cabbages are braised till softness.
Considering the cost of having peranakan food in singapore isnt that cheap due to the efforts and spices they used in preparation. I would say what daisy's dream kitchen had offered is considerably competitive in the market. The total amount was there then split up among four of us which costs about S$17.00 each. Pretty reasonable.
Apart from all dishes, we did order barley drinks. Minimal sugar were ended in the drink and it tastes almost just barley grains but healthy.Service is responsive! The lady boss did come to our table as she do her rounds at every tables and asked if the food is alright. Friendly enough!
Best of all, minimal or no MSG were used as I do not feel any thirstiness after the meal.
I will be back again with my friends!
