An amazing lunch at one of the most popular private kitchens in Singapore.

I’ve been anticipating having a meal at The Ampang Kitchen for quite a while now. There’s a minimum required number of persons each session, 8 for lunch at $60 pp and 10 for dinner at $100 pp. (We had an additional dessert so we paid $65 pp.) Imagine my excitement when I finally had enough lunch kakis to go!

Uncle Raymond and his son, David have planned a curated 7-course menu for us and each course was great in its own way. My favourites include the best kuih pie tee I’ve had, primarily because of the exquisite crispy pastry tart shell. Also, the century egg rojak was so delicious and fresh, safe to assume that I had half the bowl which was meant for 5 persons. What I really loved was the combination of fragrant buah keluak fried rice and the unique banana flower kechai. It was a beautiful contrast between the savoury fried rice, the fresh vegetables and the heat of the house made sambal that made me fall in love.

If you have the numbers, I’d totally recommend a makan session here. If not, the father-son duo offers takeaway too!
