Peranakan

The coconut milk wasn't V strong, this very wet version is pretty good due to the complexity, although it's not particularly intense. There's probably red dates inside I believe, the black rice carries a lot of bite

Overall a good version

Overall:
This place is highly raved and it is good but the prices are seriously ridiculous. What's notable is that this is just half the usual number of dishes, for half the price of private dining. I shudder at the thought of paying 130bucks for way too much food

Food:
Banana Pengat was alright, nothing particular special except the price and the portion. I'm not sure how 4-5 people can finish this. Also there's this sourness in the banana that wasn't very good

Delivery troubles: the food came 1h earlier than expected and this was troubling because no one was home yet. Hope it's just teething issues, not sure how long they've done delivery for

Food:
It's really a ball of rather firm liver, with some pieces inside with a strong bite. The liver taste is quite particular, and it's really quite an interesting dish.

The kiam chye is super unique and incredibly good

Worth a try

90% ckn 10% pork

Quite a unique version because the gravy is 50% similar to curry, without much dark colours and without strong buah keluak taste. However the buah keluak nut itself was super strong. As such, when you have both the ckn and the nut tgt, they don't mesh perfectly.

Quite a unique version and possibly the best I've tried. Note that the portion is huge, this is nearly double the size of the other dishes for 15bucks more

Prawn was high quality, and the petai are the best I've had. It's a league of its own, very crunchy and fat slivers, not the soft nonsense you find everywhere else. The portion is tiny but it works out because the petai was pungent and not everyone enjoys it

The price is ridiculous for the portion though, and the flavours weren't as intense as could be even tho the aroma was

Their small portion serves 4-5

Ckn gizzard and ckn liver. It was more gizzard, the sambal was thick and not very spicy with a strong lemongrass aroma. Very addictive

But for this price?? Lol

The restaurant: given that they have a few branches, I was rlly surprised by the quality. This is a fantastic place

Food:
The sotong has a lovely tender bite. Sambal wasn't too strong

Overall a well executed restaurant style version

A signature for a good reason. Tender, not stringy, the chili was aromatic and had a little bit of heat.

If you're here you must order this

Tender crunchy bamboo shoots, meatballs were okay. The soup tho, it's clear but there's good prawn umami

One of the best versions you can find at a restaurant at this price, for sure

Honestly didn't expect a chain to have satay anywhere near this good. Crispy outside, extremely well marinated meat that was firm in the right way and had a good bite. Peanut sauce was mild and pleasant

Hard to fault, it's really really good. Maybe could do w a bit more smokiness but the execution was alr superb

Quite deep flavour and surprising thickness that's lovely

Very good

Very ex. It's very hot which is unpleasant, the taste is average and the coconut flakes were very salty

Overall meh, way overpriced
