Do you like Peranakan food(Nyonya cuisine)? It combines Chinese, Malay and other influences into a unique blend. Nyonya cooking is the result of blending Chinese ingredients with spices and cooking technique used by the Malay/ Indonesian community.Dulukala Peranakan restaurant is located at level 4, beauty world shopping centre.

Dulukala Peranakan restaurant is located at level 4, beauty world shopping centre. A very old building. I work at this building and always have no chance to come for a try. Compared to the few shops nearby, Dulukala is the one that remain there for the longest year. I heard good reputation of this place and it is always crowded during peak hours.
Finally, I am free to come here for dinner. Looking at the attractive menu, I feel like ordering many dishes, but I'm alone, so worry that I may not be able to finish the food. So I choose only two dishes from the chef's recommendation page.
1. The Ayam Buah Keluak ( the staple Peranakan dish)
Made with chicken pieces combined with "Keluak" nuts (Indonesian nuts with a very tough shell which gave a unique taste), mixed with other spices and ingredients, the gravy taste superb. It is not spicy at all, but somehow I can taste a bit of sourish taste, like very very mild Asam.
2. Lady finger with ikan bilis.
A simple vege dish that stir fried with red chili and ikan bilis. Cooked perfectly nice.
I order steamed rice to go with the two dishes. And pick the Chendol ice for my dessert. The gula Melaka that used in the chendol is thick and smells very good.
Overall, it is a very satisfying dinner. And will definately return to try other signature dish like Curry fish head.
