[CLOSED] House Of Peranakan (Capitol Singapore)

Perfect small bites appetizer to kick off dinner. Great crispy texture on the outside to go along with a tasty shrimp. There’s more fish sauce in there than expected, but I enjoy the taste so I didn’t mind at all.

I could’ve easily had all 4 to myself, but of course I had to share 😬

Very thick and looked so pretty! Tasted even better. While mixing the coconut milk, it smelled divine. Slight saltiness brought out the coconut milk even more. Very yummy.

The durian purée was not a lot but taste was strong. Paired very well with gula Melaka. Very rich this Chendol. The pandan jelly helped reduce the sweetness. I liked this.

They used grilled mackerel for this. Last dish to come out thou it was a starter. The texture was not the soft type. Got more bite to it like fish cake. Not bad, a bit salty. Could be more spicy.

Crispy baby squid sautéed with lemongrass, onions and Assam sauce. Quite refreshingly different from the ones I usually eat at Chinese restaurants or Zi Char stalls. This one still retained the crisp but the sauce was more sour. I loved it. I usually don’t eat much baby squids but I practically devoured the whole bowl. Even I’m amazed by how much I enjoyed this.

Okra was sautéed with home made titek Sambal, coconut milk and prawns. Quite slimy so the aesthetics not appealing. Prawns used were the small type and not deveined. The taste was actually alright but the slime really got to me after a while...
