Charlie's Peranakan Food (Golden Mile)

Recent cravings for Peranakan food led me to this slightly hidden stall at Golden Mile Food Centre, and boy was this a good find. Blunt but friendly aunty serving customers and even helping to clear their plates. The Ayam Rendang ($8) came in a sharing portion of chicken and potatoes in a superb aromatic and slightly spicy gravy; and the best part is that the chicken pieces are boneless! The Chapchai ($5) was also really good and in a sizeable portion. Two plates of rice completed the meal for an additional $0.50 a plate. Don't forget to ask for their (very potent) chilli too! Overall, fantastic and homely peranakan fare at a very affordable price. Would definitely return and also wholeheartedly recommend anyone to come by too!

This was amazing even though I took away and had it cold. Worth it for $13! Auntie & uncle were total sweethearts ❤️

Affordable Peranakan Food Alert!

Peranakan Food have a reputation of being rather expensive. But not here at Charlie's

Located at Basement Floor of Golden Mile Hawker, Charlie's looks rather old school, with a hand written menu/signboard. The lady owner was very nice and friendly.

What we had

1) Bakwan Kepiting- damn good. Absolutely love this pork/crab meat balls.

2) Ayam Rendang- Chicken was fresh. The Rendang gravy was thick and flavourful.

3) Chap Chye- Normal dish, nothing really sepcial

They have many items on their menu, next time will try their Ayam Buah Keluak

More of a sour version, very strong and the black nut was well stuffed w pork. The Ckn pieces werent numerous but it's all big chunks of meat lovingly deboned

This place is not bad, reasonable prices and decent peranakan food, very fast service too
