To be honest, I was hesitating if I should post this pic on the cover, cos a dish of all-black food may not look that appetising at first glance. But I wouldn't do justice to this dish if I hide it behind. If there is any one quintessential dish that tourists should not miss in Singapore, it’s the Ayam Buah Keluak.
.
Indeed, looks can be deceiving, but it is actually very rich in flavour. For those who are trying this for the first time, they may not find this appealing due to its appearance. But those who do, are rewarded with its distinctive taste with rich flavours.😍
.
It has such a distinctive taste and earthy texture that no words would do justice to describe this nut. It tasted like dark chocolate perhaps. Though it may require an acquired taste, it’s like a prized possession, one where you savour every last bit.

We compared the Buah Keluak here to that of other dining establishments, but found this one to be so much more superior and refined. It was cooked with a special rempah paste consisting of shallots, blue ginger, lemongrass, kaffir lime leaf, turneric, candlenut, belachan (shrimp paste) and dried chilli. The chicken was really tender too. 👍
.
Available as part of the specially curated Eurasian Peranakan menu (S$45/pax) at The Peranakan. Only 3 days left - 30 June, 7 July and 14 July. Don't miss it! Swipe ⬅️ to view the various dishes you can try. 😉
