Straits Chinese Nonya Restaurant (Esplanade Mall)

If you familiar with the oldest Nyonya restaurant in Singapore, then you should know the name of Guan Hoe Soon. Straits Chinese is managed by Guan Hoe Soon Group and has a few outlets here.

One of them is located at the second level of Esplanade Mall, serving their authentic Nyonya foods right at the centre of city.

Since I came along, so I went for their rice individual set menu.

The set comes with a plate of ayam rendang, chap cai and blue pea rice.

They are flavourful but not distinctive enough as compared to some Nyonya restaurants I been to unfortunately.

Best to come here in group and enjoy more of their dishes.

Ordered the prawns for $20.80 and the serving was only 4 pieces! Also ordered the beef rendang which was quite dry.

Each diner gets just this small portion. But okay lah it's not the best. It felt a bit not like real durian or not fresh.

The waiter said kueh salat. This is meh? Despite the anonymity, it's quite nice.

One of the best dishes here. The pork was so tender and fatty without being cloying.

A must-order when eating Peranakan. The nut filling and the gravy were expectedly powerful and earthy. The weakness here was the chicken. Not the best.
