Editor’s Note
Last updated 21 Jul 2026
Our take: Chilli Padi Nonya Restaurant generally maintains a good standard, especially for its signature Peranakan dishes.
The beef rendang consistently receives high praise for its flavour and preparation, often served sizzling hot.
Other well-regarded items include the mee siam, curry bean curd, and chicken wings.
However, we note some inconsistencies in quality, with dishes like the otak sometimes described as dry and small, and the sambal prawn lacking its characteristic punch.
The chap chye, however, appears to be a reliable choice.
Service can be stretched during peak lunch hours, suggesting a potential staffing issue.
Despite some mixed reviews on specific dishes, the overall consensus points to a satisfying Peranakan experience, especially if you stick to the recommended items.
We'd recommend visiting for a reliable Peranakan meal, focusing on the rendang and other well-received dishes, but be prepared for potential inconsistencies with less popular items.

What customers say
Chilli Padi Nonya Restaurant receives mixed but generally positive feedback.
While some customers praise dishes like the beef rendang, mee siam, and sotong hitam masak, others note a significant drop in food quality, citing issues with dry otak, soggy sambal prawn, and overly salty dry laksa.
Service can be inconsistent, with staff sometimes appearing overwhelmed, though efforts are made to accommodate requests like adding more gravy to rendang.
The renovated environment is appreciated, but food standards are a recurring concern for some.

Amazingly well made rendang! It did came dried up, so i did nicely ask if they can add more gravy and they did it eventually after going though two staff members. Other than that we did enjoy the home…
Food was decent. Otak Otak and babi ponteh were the star dishes for me. Portions were reasonable and had an enjoyable makan experience with my group.
Came to try this after recommended by a local. Indeed the food is nice and the portion is good. Table inside the restaurant arranged nicely. The only downside is could be noisy when crowded inside.
