[CLOSED] Folklore

Folklore, situated at the lobby level of Destination Hotel along Beach Road, is a great place to introduce family and friends to Peranakan fare, as Burppler Blueskies Cottonclouds did. "So happy my family enjoyed the keluak fried rice, opor ayam, brinjals and singgang. Of course, we had the kosui and sago pudding to end on a sweet note." Another highlight among Burpplers is the Buah Keluah Fried Rice ($28), seeing as the restaurant "was very generous with the buah keluak.

Not quite sure what taste they were going for, salty? It was just a mash up of dried fish meat, texture was surprising.

Generous amount of ingredients, but tasted bland with an overpowering amount of pepper overall. Just seems like an overpriced dish.

$30.60 for both. A quaint bar in Level 2 of the hotel. Nice view but diluted drinks.

First time here and won’t visit again.

My favourite of the lot! Braised in tamarind sauce, the pork belly packs a strong tangy punch. Loved the sweet sour glistening sauce, which went perfectly with warm white rice.

A mix of minced pork and prawn wrapped in a thin, crispy shell. I found it a tad underseasoned and dry, although I loved the generous amount of water chestnuts used here. Not a big fan of the mild black dipping sauce as well.
