Chilli Padi Nonya Restaurant

Authentic & delicious! We are really happy and satisfied with the choices of our dinner dishes: Nyonya Curry Chicken, Babi Ponteh, Sambal Ikan Bilis with Petai, Mee Siam Goreng, Cabbage Roll and Chendol. Can't wait for our next visit to try out other dishes!

Very good - sauce was fantastic but the pork could be a bit more tender.

Plan for a celebration with a classic Nonya feast at this traditional Peranakan restaurant along Joo Chiat Place. Feast on their Babi Ponteh (from $13), Ayam Bua Kuluak (from $14.10), Sambal Sotong (from $13) and Nonya Chap Chye (from $8.60). Of course, their signature Fish Head Assam Pedas ($24/half head) is a must-order for a spicy and tangy kick! Perfect comfort food for the rainy season we have going on.

My comforting go to for Peranakan cuisine! Set for 4 comes with 1 staple, 1 soup, 2 mains (meat/seafood) and 1 veg. Feel free to add on popiah (egg crepe skin), Kueh pie tee, ngoh hiang, homemade otah, cabbage rolls etc.

For my set, I got the mee siam goreng (must try!) and silver fish fried rice for staples, the Hee prow soup, nyonya curry chicken (very rich flavor, goes well with rice) and beef rendang, chap chye (love this!).

Delivery was prompt and food arrived warm-ish. Definitely will order again! 😊 Island wide delivery available and $10 off your first order!

Top row: left to right
1. Popiah [$4.60/each] - kind of like the use of egg crepe skin instead of regular popiah skins
2. Kueh pie tie [$9.90] - chili was awesome!
3. Cabbage roll [$5.50/each] - steamed cabbage roll with otah

Second row: left to right
4. Buah keluak fried rice [$14.10] - fragrant, nutty and wholesome. Like this better than silver fish fried rice
5. Ayam buah keluak [$20.70] - good execution of this traditional dish
6. Ngoh hiang [$17.20] - Plum rolls packed with goodness

Third row:
7. Nyonya chap chye[$11.90] - this was delish! Braised well and flavorful
8. Mee Siam goreng [$9.70] - packs a punch! Savory and well balanced with a tang
9. Sambal sweet potato leaf [$11.90]
