Had our lunch at Guan Hoe Soon, one of the oldest Peranakan restaurants in Singapore😃! Tried a variety of dishes and our favourite was their Traditional Nonya Roast Pork🍖, a dish we had to call and reserve in advance as it's not on the menu. We liked the combination of the roast pork with pickled veggies, as the slightly sour and refreshing pickles helped to cut through the grease🥒. The other dishes were pretty good as well, but we felt the portion was a little small for it's price. Nevertheless, we had a pretty nice experience there. Definitely a good place for family meals👪!

I think dessert, it's quite nice. Not the best but still quite uummy

Nah skip this dessert. It's covered with a thick layer of starch with a tiny piece of water chestnut. Just don't get it.

Back for more. I love all the dishs, the chap chye,the sambal udang and especially the ayam buah keluak. Gotta eat them all 😋

The pork balls were mostly pork and salty, not much taste of crab or the presence of crab. It was quite a disappointment. It’s not difficult to make because you can get pasteurised crab meat these days. It’s also supposed to have bamboo shoots but maybe there weren’t much I don’t recall.

Salty but lacked the flavour I thought it should
Have

Had this as a catering at a party, but gotta say this has been one of the better caterings I’ve had! We had the mee siam, chicken curry, beef rendang, chap chye, satay babi, tamarind prawn and gula melaka sago. Every dish was flavourful and slightly above average tastewise! Only gripe would be that I wished the beef rendang and satay Babi were more tender, but I guess that’s asking a little too much from catering 😅😅 Also, particularly liked the gula melaka sago as you can titrate the level of sweetness that you want 👍🏻👍🏻
