Bumbu Restaurant (Bugis)

This is a hidden gem in Kampong Glam - relatively quiet and cosy environment, with authentic and ornate decor that spans two floors in an old shophouse. Perfect for tourists and locals alike; an Instagram-worthy place as well!

Prices are quite affordable, and the Peranakan food was authentic and tasty. We shared the buah keluak chicken, Nonya chap chye, homemade ngor hiang and tahu telur. All of the dishes were great, esp. the tahu telur and Nonya chap chye.

This place also takes reservations, and the wait staff are helpful and can take good photos for you too (: Greatly recommended - will be back for future visits!

Ambience is cosy amidst a rustic peranakan setting. We had the sambal kankong, beef rendang, tahu telor, pandan leaf chicken which were all a delight to the eyes and palate. Definitely worth a return visit.

Lots of disparate elements brought into a fresh, crisp harmony. Also I already miss the friend who dined with me come back soon!

Now this one, despite a gentler cooking method, has almost no muddy flavour at all - just sweet and light and delicate.

I love the way they fried their toufu okie. So crispy on the outside and retaining the softness on the inside. Serving up hot at the #bumburestaurant . And while you are enjoying this plate of tahu telor, also be sure to soak in the lovely peranakan decor in the restaurant! #sgeats #singapore #supportlocal

The green curry was very sweet with chicken that melted in our mouths. It was fun eating the baby squid- they were crispy like ikan bilis as well as sweet and spicy. Everything was quite affordable especially when shared among 4 people. I paid $15 for my share, including GST. Worth the money!
