And all these years I thought Ivins was the only place that serves cheap and good Peranakan food. I was at Tingkat Peranakan @tingkatpm at Owen Road, and I was surprised by the price and portion of the food. The spread we ordered can easily feed 3-4, and several dishes were actually very good.
🔸
My favorite has to be the Ayam Buah Keluak, which sees two chicken drumsticks served in a thick paste of pure buah keluak sauce. The nonya chap chye was also good, having been cooked till "nuah" and soaked up the gravy which was strong in the taste of hae bee. I also liked that the sambal sotong was very tender.
🔸
The prices of the dishes pictured here are:
Ayam Buah Keluak ($9.53+)
Itek Tim ($2.99+, for 1)
Sambal Sotong ($8.78+)
Seafood Otak ($10.00+)
Babi Pongteh ($7.48+)
Cinchalok Omelette ($5.05+)
Nonya Chap Chye ($5.98+)
Nonya Fried Mee Siam ($7.76+)
🔸
You can however skip the cinchalok omelette, which was lacking in the taste cinchalok, thus reducing it to just any omelette; and the babi pongteh, whose pork wasn't tender enough. But definitely, go for the ayam buah keluak, nonya chap chye and sambal sotong.
