Ayam goreng rempah is a nice shift from the usual fried chicken we get at hawker centres & bar snacks . Marinated in a Nyonya recipe blend of non-heaty spices, each fried piece was yummy????????

Eileen Lin

Cheap tasty home cooked Peranakan cuisine - must try their Babi n Sambal stuffs !! Soo yummy !! End off with homemade bobochacha .. = Happy endings !

Michael Netzley

This place is simply awesome. Very inexpensive and fantastic food. Both the honey pork and sweet pepper pork are great. Maybe my vote for best value in all of SG. Service is...well ...just eat.

Cheen The Curious

Honey pork strips is our family’s perennial fave. Coated with a sweet black sauce recipe, it suitable for young ones not ready for spicy fare ????????

Cheen The Curious

Daun keledek lemak (sweet potato leaves cooked in spiced coconut milk ). Aromatic & creamy, the dish offers an alternative flavour to all the rempahs

Cheen The Curious

Petai sambal (aka petir sambal ) is as close u get to a Nyonya’a kitchen. It’s an acquired taste but boy, so aromatic and crunchy as a sambal feature!

Cheen The Curious

Finally! Their dishes have always been small. Good that they’re giving an indication of how many ‘small’ plates to order based on group size????

Cheen The Curious

Updated order sizes & suggested portions, based on group sizes. Some of the dishes come in small & medium portions

Cheen The Curious

Terung goreng assam. Have u ever had brinjal coated in tamarind sauce & fried? Moist, sweet-sour flavour

Cheen The Curious

Itik sio. Duck stew in tamarind gravy . Yummy with rice . Gravy packs a slight peppery heat

Cheen The Curious

Fried pomfret: Simple pleasure. Deep-fried black pomfret (@ mkt prices), then drizzled w thick black soy sauce , chopped onions & chilli sections. I can eat this alone w white rice . Slurp!

Cheen The Curious

Fish dishes : Unique flavours come fr Ikan Masak Assam Pedas (spicy-sour tamarind sauce ) & Ikan Kuah Nenas (tangy lemongrass-y tastes). Nice!

Liu

My first time having peranakan dishes! Taste interesting XD worth trying

Cheen The Curious

Chap chye (stewed cabbage & other veges ). Now available for upsize. Another standard order here ????

Cheen The Curious

Ayam buah keluak : U can't go wrong w d Nonya classic served here. Thick spicy sauce 2 go w ur rice . Warning: limited number of buah keluak nuts ;-)

Joanna

Good a cheap Peranakan fare. Not the best in Singapore but good enough. Good value for money ($6.50 lunch set) and good kueh

Alfred Tay

Food is so-so and service quite slow but worth the cheap price. Difficult to find parking - make sure u don't park along continuous white lines if u dun want to risk a ticket!

Buck Seng Ng

Always great, economical Nonya food. Great dinner - the Papaya titek dish is back to old good standard.

Cheen The Curious

Daun keledek lemak: Interesting if u wanna try a different vege dish. Sweet potato leaves in coconut milk gravy . Lovely combo - haha!

Cheen The Curious

Honey pork . Kids luv this so much we usually hv 2 order 2nd helpings. Coated w egg during preparation, in case u hv egg allergies.

Cheen The Curious

Udang (prawn ) & sotong (squid ) dishes: All styles r nice. Fr sambal 2 black sauce , assam (tamarind ) 2 chilli . Yum!

Elizabeth Lee

Ever dependable peranakan food from a local institution. Babi ponteh and ayam buah kelua are must-orders.

Cheen The Curious

Hor Pow ($6.40 for 4pcs). Unimpressed with these fried beancurd with minced pork stuffings. Tasted dry and the chilli dip did not save them either

Angie Nguyen

Awesome place for traditional Singaporean food

Cheen The Curious

Babi pongteh (pork stew ): My childhood fave when I visit my Grandma in Penang. D flavour here is more salty. Better than nothing :-)

Cheen The Curious

Terong chilli & sambal lady fingers. Simple, healthy yet tasty vege dishes. Standard orders for my visits

Starryxin

Food here is awesome but in very small portion. Table of 4 ppl can order at least 8 dishes. Their dessert is awesome too!

Cheen The Curious

Assam pork rib : Spicy kick , w nice touch of d sour tamarind sauce . A new fave

Janice

Honey pork & Sotong hitam are good! Gula Melaka Sago is a yummy dessert to end off your meal.

Alfred Tay

Desserts are decent. From what I see there's only 3 staff serving almost 30 tables. Maybe that's why they can sell so cheaply.

Cheen The Curious

Cendol . Missing the Gula Melaka aroma

James Li Zhiwei

Great peranakan food thou portions a lil small. Black Squid n redang hav always been my favs.. The long queues are always common! Closed on thurs..

SG FoodTravel

Order the curry dishes and ends with a cendol .

Jared Yeo

Good healthy tasty food. Sour faced staff , like you owe them a living.

Galen Ng

Papaya titek is a must try. Been eating here since young and always eat it when I come here!! Must try!!

Makan First

Good food and friendly service , reasonable price.

Suan Pin Foo

The ayam buah keluak is quite good

Betty Lim

Cheap and quality peranakan food . Parking is really challenging tho.

Catharine Yong

Jo N

Best place to have local peranakan food !

Kyle Drummer

Try the sati babi and the rendang !

Sharon Tan

Standards dropping. Sigh. Desserts are still as yummy!

May Loh

Nice food, great value at affordable prices . Must order the curry fish head ! Good for sharing 4-5 pax.

Joseph Teo

Love their bakwan kepeting . Simple yet tasty

Joy Ling

Portions on a crowded evening are extremely PATHETIC. Almost equivalent to the portions we get in cai fan

J Ken Tan

Ivin's is kinda bad now. The waiters ' attitude and attentiveness irks me. And the food portion is smaller compared to last time. They served most of the food to a table who came later than us.

Eileen Ng

Must try the sweet/honey pork ! Really damn nice and cheap !

Ting

Average desserts . Nothing to shout about. Stick to the food.

Jess baby

Bakwan kepeting is so nice. The soup is flavorful!
