Enjoy dining without burning a hole in your pocket, no membership required
There are some hits and misses. But overall, I would say the food is decent for the price we pay after burpple discount. We liked the kueh pie tie nonya food rojak, lemongrass chicken wing and beef rendang. Nice quiet place inside NUS.
Hidden within National University of Singapore sits this casual restaurant serving authentic Nyonya dishes in a buffet style at affordable prices. At just $22.80++/$26.80++ (weekday/weekend), enjoy a mouthwatering spread of assorted Nyonya Kueh, DIY Kueh Pai Ti, Otah Mantou, Babi Ponteh, Beef Rendang, Braised Nyonya Chap Chye and more!

Chili Padi Nonya Cafe 03/08/19
Overall, I would concur that this buffet is somewhat worth its money for the VARIETY offered. However, it is definitely not worth one's calories in terms of the quality of food presented. If this food was presented as part of a buffet catering service, I would be pleasantly surprised but considering that its a buffet restaurant instead, I expected a lot more. Many of the dishes really did not taste fresh, especially their fruit cakes and kueh lapis at the dessert section. Would strongly recommend the restaurant to improve on the quality of all of their dishes first before working on the variety.
Price: 7/10 (For the variety)
Taste: 3/10 (I was craving for quality Peranakan food the next day)
Overall: 4/10 (Even if you are in the area, I will not recommend)

Chilli padi weekend high tea
Faultless fried chicken that was well flavoured and fried till crips but still maintaining a good moisture inside .
The chicken gets snapped up every time thereβs a new tray but the replenishment is fast without sacrificing the quality of the food .
Probably one of the best fried chicken I have eaten so far π
The nasi lemak rice π served could have been improved though - a little too clumpy . So good excuse to cut the carbs and load the protein π€£
Although Chilli Padi is actually better known as a Food Caterer, their in-house buffet is not one to sneer at! To be frank, the quality and taste of the food were way above standard catering, or any regular buffets at this price-point. Not only were the dishes of authentic peranakan flavour, even their furniture screams nonya! Must go back soon. πππ - π΄π» #burpple
