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👪!

Visited Candlenut for an authentic and exquisite peranakan dishes!!😋 Had some of the peranakan staples like the ngoh hiang, chap chye, chicken curry, babi buah keluak and bakwan kepiting soup. Lastly, rounded up with a kueh salat. Definitely wowed us with the strong flavours and how homely and comforting the food tasted🏠. A little pricey for sure, but the flavour of the dishes were super on point!! Definitely worthy of its title as the world's first michelin-starred peranakan restaurant.👍✨
