Editor’s Note

Last updated 30 May 2026

Our take: Ivins Peranakan Restaurant at Binjai Park offers a mixed experience, with some dishes shining brighter than others.

The Beef Rendang consistently receives high marks, described as the 'best dish of the night' by some.

Other popular choices include the Fish Maw soup and a range of desserts like Durian Chendol and Gula Malacca Sago.

However, some patrons note inconsistencies; the Ayam Buah Keluak has been criticised for excessive chicken skin and fat, and the Sotong Hitam for thin slicing.

The Sambal Belachan is also described as overly sweet and lacking spice.

Portions are generally considered generous, especially with their set meals, which can be very filling.

The restaurant has undergone renovations, resulting in a 'cosier, quieter and aesthetic' space, though it can still get noisy during peak hours.

We'd recommend making a reservation, particularly for evening visits, as walk-ins might struggle to find tables.

Overall, it's a reliable option for a Peranakan meal, but manage expectations for certain dishes.

Best for groups of 3-4 to share a set meal and try a variety of dishes.

What customers say

Ivins Peranakan Restaurant at Binjai Park receives mixed but generally positive feedback, with many customers noting changes post-renovation, including a cozier ambiance and increased prices.

While some dishes like the Beef Rendang, Brinjal Sambal, and certain desserts (Durian Chendol, Gula Malacca Sago) are highly praised, others like the Ayam Buah Keluak (due to excessive fat), thinly sliced Sotong Hitam, and overly sweet Sambal Belachan receive criticism.

Portions are often described as generous, and staff are generally considered lovely, though some dishes are served lukewarm and taste can be inconsistent.
