I came across Daisy's Dream Kitchen all thanks to my wife who had watch Happy Ever Laughter. Kinda like Peranakan food myself, I would not want to give this place a miss! I chose the aircon over the open air seats as usual. The place is not entirely huge but has a touch of homely and cozy feel to it. Not to mention the rendition of Rasa Sayang in the background. The place was fairly packed and people are coming in and orders were promptly taken. The staff were pleasant and have been very help
I came across Daisy's Dream Kitchen all thanks to my wife who had watch Happy Ever Laughter. Kinda like Peranakan food myself, I would not want to give this place a miss! I chose the aircon over the open air seats as usual. The place is not entirely huge but has a touch of homely and cozy feel to it. Not to mention the rendition of Rasa Sayang in the background. The place was fairly packed and people are coming in and orders were promptly taken. The staff were pleasant and have been very helpful & friendly especially when I came in with my wife and young 2 daughters. We requested for 2 baby chairs and those were brought in promptly. When my elder daughter decided to change her mind about the baby chair, the staff removed the chair promptly. We orderly Itek Tim, Bakwan Kepiting, Babi Pongteh, Ngoh Hiang initially and added hot Pulut Hitam and Bo Bo Char Char for dessert. While waiting, we ordered the All-Time fav emping (Belinjo nut) crackers and it came with the belacan chilli dip. I do caution dipping into the chilli dip, it was real spicy. Think chilli padi spiciness! I thought that the quantity of the crackers could have a liittle bit more and perhaps in a basket instead.. The waiting time was fairly acceptable if knowing the food you are about to have was really going to be sumptuous!! And sumptuous they were! I liked the Bakwan Kepiting (clear soup with shreds of baby shoots with 3 delicious meatballs) and the Babi Pongteh very much! I do not like bamboo shoots especially the strong flavour from it. But in this case, the bamboo shoots some how came across so mild that, you get the crunchy feel with the strong flavour pleasantly removed; at least for me!). As for the Babi Pongteh, alright, it's pork bellly. Downright sinful that one. But you get the melt in your mouth, with the soft pork meat totally absorbed in the soy paste and , I believe, celery seed condiments ( almost like those used in pork dumpling). Nice! My wife noticed that Corning ware were used to serve the food. I guess the flower like motifs on the bowls on the marble table adds up to the overall ambience of the eatery. Price-wise, I felt it was reasonable for the taste and service you get. All-in-all, I just paid $48/- fort he meal inclusive of 3 plates of rice and 2 x green tea. Some might feel the quantity slightly lacking. But good stuff sometimes best when come in small portion isn't it? Even Daisy even came out checking out on the customers, inquiring how was the food and all. Overall, I would recommend this place for anyone who craves for some Peranakan food!
