Signature Dishes
The ondeh ondeh here is quite unique. Its not your normal ondeh ondeh that is green and has a liquid molten gula meleka filling in it. This one has a sticky outer layer just like the normal one, but it is actually filled with shredded coconut sweetened with gula meleka inside. It a really big piece too, so its a full sized kueh unlike normal ondeh ondeh. Overall a unique offering though i prefer the traditional snack.

The Chinta Manis outlet at The Village in Serangoon Gardens offers a variety of Peranakan style dishes, in addition to kuih.On this occasion, we decided to try the Chicken Rendang and Fried Mee Siam.The Chicken Rendang is served with yellow rice, achar (pickles) and coconut serunding, a type of grated coconut accompaniment. There are two pieces of chicken cooked in a special coconut gravy. It smells delicious, but is a little too sweet. Peranakan dishes usually have a sweetish-sourish taste, but this was more sweet than sour. The Chicken was ok; it could have been better marinated. However, the two pieces were a generous serving, indeed. The achar went well with the dish, but we didn't quite like the grated coconut. It didn't go well with the rice.The Fried Mee Siam, had the option of the gravy. I asked for the gravy to be served separately, and the staff obliged. It tasted good, both with and without the gravy. The gravy had a lot of tamarind juice in it and had that signature sweetish-sourish. It was more sourish and the gravy went really well with the Fried Mee Siam. The Mee Siam had lots of sliced chives in it. It also contained boiled egg, prawns and diced tofu.While the Chicken Rendang did not please, the Fried Mee Siam would definitely make me go back for more.
