Editor’s Note

Last updated 29 May 2026

We think Bumbu Restaurant offers a solid Peranakan dining experience, with a menu that also touches on Thai and Indonesian influences.

The Ayam Buah Kaluak, priced at $17.90, is frequently highlighted for its tender chicken and well-integrated gravy, while the Tahu Telur ($12.90) is praised for its perfectly fried texture.

While some find the rendang meat a bit tough, the overall consensus points to tasty and authentic dishes.

Service is generally prompt, though some describe it as 'a bit grumpy'.

The restaurant's decor, with its antique and retro theme, contributes to a quiet, old-school ambiance suitable for both intimate meals and larger family gatherings.

We'd recommend focusing on their Peranakan offerings for the most consistent experience.

A reliable option for authentic Southeast Asian cuisine, especially if you're in the Bukit Timah area.
