If you're looking for authentic and delicious peranakan food, look no further than @the.blueginger . I obviously have a palate inclined towards western flavours. However I was still extremely impressed by the meal!
The rendang here is braised for hours and mixed with a sauce rich in ginger, lemongrass, and lime leaf. But what was special was how thick and creamy and coconut-forward the actual rendang was!
They really know how to handle their meats here because they turned this unassuming chicken thigh into one of my favourites of the meal. The skin was crispy and the meat so tender! The creamy smokeiness of the sauce will win over even the most stubborn of picky eaters. A dark horse but a crowd favourite in the end.
I'm usually a fan of this style of fish because well... I like little chunks of deep fried meat. But the fish here was way too dry. What a letdown.
I'm not usually a fan of braised meat but I just couldn't get enough of this. The meat was so incredibly tender it just slid off the bone with the gentlest of nudges. The soy based sauce was also really flavourful and went with the pork wonderfully. Oh, and did I mention that it's $28 for the entire massive
I can't say this is my cup of tea but I could tell that the meat was very tender.
