Tucked away in Katong is @amblingturtle a double storey modern Peranakan cafe, located in The Flow that's just a stone throw away from Marine Parade.

Offering Peranakan-inspired menu with savouries options such as Satay Chicken, Pulled Beef Rendang with options of Croissant/ Sourdough for add-on. They also serves desserts inspired by local flavours such as Pulut Hitam tart & Ondeh Ondeh Cake & assorted kuehs.

What I try,

The tarts here have buttery crisp cookie crust.

Gula Melaka Tart ($8)
Made with fresh Coconut Milk, Pandan Juice & Gula Jawa. This adorable tart sees a handmade pandan jelly turtle gummy & toasted coconut flakes sitting atop pandan custard & gula jawa. Make to look like a turtle sunbathing on a beach. So cute!! The silky pandan custard has a strong pandan fragrance, while the gula jawa thick with a toasty toffee-like aroma. The coconut flakes added crunch, contrasting against the other elements of this tart.

Orh Nee Tart ($8.50)
Smooth & creamy pack full of yam flavour with a grainy texture & an aesthetic finish of Pumpkin purée on top. A must try for the taro lovers, especially because it’s not too sweet!

Crack Of Dawn ($7.50).
Is a must get as its so instagrammable! Simulate a pretty sunset, with its layers of strawberry coulis, orange juice, & butterfly pea tea. Very refreshing with citrusy.
