Editor’s Note

Last updated 30 May 2026

Our take: The Peranakan Restaurant Singapore offers a deeply immersive cultural experience, with many reviewers highlighting the authentic decor and traditional Kerongchong music.

We note consistent praise for the food, particularly the Chicken Buah Keluak and the Bakwan Kepiting soup, which is described as small but packed with flavour.

Appetizers like otah and ngoh hiang also receive positive mentions.

While the ambiance and service are frequently lauded, with staff like Andrew specifically called out for their friendliness, the limited seating capacity is a recurring point.

We recommend making reservations to secure a table, especially given the restaurant's cosy, homely feel.

We also note a new, larger branch has opened at Orchard Towers, which may alleviate some of the seating constraints for bigger groups.

We'd consider this a strong choice for an authentic Peranakan dining experience, particularly for those who appreciate a full cultural immersion.

Dining at this restaurant gave me a fully immersed experience of the Peranakan culture that included non-stop Kerongchong playing in the background. The sound, visual display and TVs meant a constant…
