Special Thanks to Colleague who had introduced this place for lunch. Never did i know that there is a hidden gem within the area of a country club. I always have the mindset that anything in the club is only exclusively for members and not the public but this is not the case.

Talking about PeraMakan, it excites me as Peranakan Food is not commonly found and even if so it's only the few that we have been visiting.

 Starters for the Peranakan Cuisine is none other than their Ngoh Hiang. Meat with prawns were rolled and deeply fried. There were 3 rolls and they were all cut into 12 pieces, easiler to paired with the sweet sauce or a saucer filled with chilli, black sauce and Luak Chye.

 I felt that Buah Keluak makes Peranakan Cuisine outstanding in the sense that I have not come across other cuisine making use of this Indonesian black nut as part of their dishes ingredient. Chicken was braised and soften among the richness of the black nut and Garam Assam Gravy. It might taste on a salty side if you are having just the dish alone without any plain rice. Do note that Steam Rice are served at $1 per head and refillable.

For those who love Buah Keluak, each serving only comes with 2 nuts and special spoons were given to retrieve the flesh in the nuts.

 Braising in yummy tau cheo gravy, the dish was awesome. Pork belly was cooked with dried shitake mushrooms and winter bamboo shoots too. Presentation was dull in colors initially but was brightened up by the used of green chilli as garnishings.

 The default order that cannot be skip during a Pernakan Cuisine! Simply loves its braised vegetables coupled with dried ingredients in bean sauce.

 The last to be served will be their red snapper fish head cooked in Nyonya Curry. Curry gravy was very appetizing indeed and makes a perfect pairing to the white rice. Assorted vegetables like egg plant, lady's finger and tomato among the items in the curry. Fish head was relatively fresh and was pleasing to the tastebuds.

 Desserts

There can never be short of the taste of Gula Melaka here in their Chendol. Our desserts were shared among 5 of us and it was not a bad idea too. With freshly squeeze coconut milk over shaved ice with chendol strips and kidney beans, its all what you can find all in a bowl of chendol.

 Buboh Cha Cha can be served either hot or cold, depending on your liking. The best thing is that freshly squeezed coconut milk was used and was good with yams, sweetpotatpes cubes that was steamed to its softened form, not forgettging my favourite tapioca jujubes!

 Desserts for Durians lovers! Serve in a plate of 4. These choux pastry was filled with delicious D24 durian mousse. Taste was good but if they can come in chilled form, it would be perfect.

 Knowing that Peranakan dishes are never too easy to prepare and requires alot of perparation, they were always priced at a dearer side, that includes dining in PeraMakan. However, I find that the cuisine serve here is rather authentic and was not too commercialized like other places. However for parking, it may cost a bomb and you might want to take note.

 Giving a fresh twist on the traditional Nyonya Kueh, they were all pure and without preservatives or food additives. Apom Berkuah adorned with little bit purple colour on top, they were made from fermented Rice Flour and Coconut Juice. A bowl of Durian Pengat was awesome, served with chilled Durian Mousse, steamed Yams and Sweet Potatoes. It was well done with thickly rich broth. Apom Balik was the one I like the most. Wheat flour pancakes with strong fragrance of Pandan Juice and Coconut Milk, it filled up generously with Kaya while flipped into halves. Splendid taste and texture, their food was in great pride of culinary skill. We enjoy our time there, environment, service and food. I will come again for their main course.

Authentic Peranakan Food

Peramakan is serves authentic spicy and tasty Peranakan Food. The Assam Fish which is slightly spicy and sour was a special on the menu. The garlic ladies finger was tasty and cooked to perfection.

 Peramakan is serves authentic spicy and tasty Peranakan Food. The Assam Fish which is slightly spicy and sour was a special on the menu. The garlic ladies finger was tasty and cooked to perfection. The Nonya Chap Chye which comprises of beancurd skin, black fungus, and cabbage was fantastic, and goes very well with Peramakan's very own Sambal Belechan. The Sambal Petai which comes with prawns and cooked tomatoes, is my family's favourite. However, it is an acquired taste as Petai also known as the smelly bean, has a strong after taste. However, it is very healthy and good for detoxification. Lastly, the Nonya Pork Ribs is not spicy and highly recommended. Also , the desserts like durain puff, bubor terrigu ,and appom durian at Peramakan are awesome! I strongly recommend Peramakan if you are looking for authentic Peranakan food, but be sure to make a reservation before hand if you are planning to go there for dinner, as they tend to be fully booked at night.

Good Peranakan food though pricey
2013-04-18 54 views
Coming from a Peranakan family, as and when we go to a Peranakan restaurant, you can be sure that whenever my family heads out to have Peranakan food at any eatery, the food will be scrutinised and compared to what we have at home. Of course home-cooked meals are the best, but the fare t Pera-Makan comes pretty close! We ordered the Ayam Buah Keluak, Itek Siow, Chap Chye, Ayam Kepiting, Hee piow soup. Pricey but good.

Eating here made us feel oddly out of place. It was a saturday lunch date with some that were already at the club swimming laps and playing tennis.

The others, like yours truly, just rolled out of bed and joined them at the club for lunch.

And where else but at peramakan?

So why out of place?

We were the only table of 8 under 30s. Save for the little kids, that was.

So we ordered whatever we wanted from the menu and we definitely over ordered.

The babi pongteh was goood.

The ayam buah keluak with extra nuts for those who wanted more.

nonya chap chye was a mainstay that was simple yet delicious.

cumi goreng was chewy and delightfully fresh.

the order of bakwan kepiting though, was not a wise choice at all.

The itek tim was a lot better. But there was just one order of it at our table. haha.

And otah of course. I chose that.

But... aside from the fact that there were ample fish meat pieces in the otah, the whole otah was just too dry and i'd rather have ordered something else altogether

True-Blue Nyonya Cuisine

Coming from a rich Peranakan heritage, my larger-than-life family of nearly 50 of us visited Peramakan at Keppel Club for a family gathering with relatives from all over the world. We ordered 5 servings of several dishes, which included the following: - Bakwan Kepiting (Pork ball soup)- Babi Pongteh (Pork belly braised with bamboo shoots and Chinese mushroom in a taucheo gravy)- Otak Otak Makanan Laut (Mackeral, shrimp and squid mixed with otak paste and grilled on kunyit leaf)- Ikan Garam Assam

Coming from a rich Peranakan heritage, my larger-than-life family of nearly 50 of us visited Peramakan at Keppel Club for a family gathering with relatives from all over the world.

We ordered 5 servings of several dishes, which included the following:
- Bakwan Kepiting (Pork ball soup)
- Babi Pongteh (Pork belly braised with bamboo shoots and Chinese mushroom in a taucheo gravy)
- Otak Otak Makanan Laut (Mackeral, shrimp and squid mixed with otak paste and grilled on kunyit leaf)
- Ikan Garam Assam (Red snapper fillet cooked in a spicy garam assam gravy, served with eggplant and ladyfingers)
- Beef Rendang (Beef braised in rich, spicy coconut gravy)
- Ayam Buah Keluak (Must-try! Chicken braised with Buah Keluak)
- Nyonya Chap Chye (Cabbage stewed in taucheo gravy with sweet beancake, taukee, dry lilybuds, black fungus and tanghoon)
- Durian Chendol (Homemade chendol with kidney beans, gula melaka, coconut milk and rich durian paste)

If you ask me, I would recommend everything. But then again, I believe it's subjective to our different tastes and preferences. Some of the food may be too spicy. I thought everything was just right, but the younger ones in the family had trouble with taking many dishes such as the been rendang, Ikan Garam Assam and Otak Otak.

We're a family of 4 generations of bibiks and babas, and we all really enjoyed the food. So i guess that pretty much says alot in terms of the taste and authenticity of the food.

Service wasn't up to standard though. The food arrived relatively slow, but it could be due to the fact that the restaurant was busy at that time.

Each person paid about $35 for the dinner.

Finally got our act together to check out this makan place. I have been told by 3 unrelated people that the food there is good but expensive. So the 5 lovely ladies feasted on: 1) Sambal Kangkong - this was actually a very very good dish. So many Zichar stalls sell this but here, they use a lot of shrimp blend and the the result is very flavorful Sambal that beautifully accompanies the Kangkong. 2) Assam Fish Fillets - the fish fillets were fresh and meaty.

2) Assam Fish Fillets - the fish fillets were fresh and meaty. The Assam sauce also packed enough punch in terms of sourness but not too much. Very good dish, wished they served with more gravy.

3) Ayam Bua Keluek - I am not a fan of this dish but those who love it said its good. I'll take their word for it.

4) Lamb Rendang - this dish is a winner! One leg of lamb that they cooked in Rendang style. No sauce but it's not dry. Best dish of the meal.

5) Chicalok Omelete - this is ok nice.

6) Otah - I love how they do their Otah. One shallow plate of it with fish chunks. Very homemade feel to it. Nice!

7) Bo Bo Cha Cha - super creamy coconut soup and loads of tapioca and yam bits. Very sinfully nice.

8) Chendol - Ok nice only.

9) Durian Pengat - I hate durian but my friends who love it agreed that this is the best dessert of the meal! I'll take their word for it.

Service was excellent and attentive. They dish out belachan Chilli whenever they see that our supply is low. Very nice staff who makes our meal experience so much more special! Will definitely come back again with family.

I'm not sure of the price as it's a treat for us but I will definitely go there again next time if I have cravings for Peranakan food.


Highly recommended !!
