🍴As far as we’re aware, Popo and Nana is the only Peranakan and Eurasian food hawker stall in Singapore born out of Grace’s love for these homecooked cuisines. We’ve patronised them a couple of times at their Maxwell stall, but decided to try delivery this time around.
Of the 4 dishes we ordered, our family had 2 favourites. The first was the udang nanas (prawn and pineapple curry) which had fresh prawns and juicy pineapple slices in an insanely aromatic and spicy curry. The sauce was so addictive! The second was the beef smore (braised beef stew) with fork tender beef chunks swimming in a dark, herbal-like sauce that was a scrumptious marriage between sweet and savoury. We doused our rice in both sauces and it was truly glorious~
We also enjoyed the classic chap chye which delivered what you would expect - nothing more or less. Our least favourite was the ayam buah keluak. We usually love buah keluak, but we found the chicken breast meat a tad too dry. The sauce also leaned too much on the sour side, and the buah keluak itself still carried slightly bitter notes.
Overall, this was hearty, homely food. At $34 (+$5 for delivery) for 4 dishes which fed 5 of us with leftovers, it was a highly enjoyable meal. Fully expecting my family to order from them again!
