Wonderful Peranakan

Peranakan (or Nyonya) cuisine is a vibrant fusion of Chinese cooking techniques with indigenous Malay, Indonesian, and Thai ingredients. Evolving over centuries, it is characterized by layered, bold, and complex flavor profiles using local herbs, spices, and coconut milk.

For June 6th meetup, we invite you to join in feasting on three traditional Nonya classics.

1. Ayam Buah Beluak
A quintessential Peranakan dish, the Ayam Buah Keluak, is unique for it’s use of the seeds of the kepayang tree found in swamps of Malayisan and Indonesia. The chicken and kepyayng seeds are simmered for hours in a rempah and tamarind paste to develop that characteristic spicy, tangy and nutty (like eating dark chocolate) flavour of this dish.

2. Babi Pongteh
This traditional Nonya braised pork dish is cooked with taucheo (preserved soya bean paste), gula melaka and potatoes. The salty-sweet profile of this dish is matched with a bowl of steamed rice.

3. Fragrant Nasi Ulam (Mixed Herb Rice)
Nasi Ulam is a traditional Peranakan herbal salad. The subtle nuances of the fresh herbs and vegetables, along with crunchy dried shrimp and coconut flakes, complement the aromatic and fragrant soft nice bite to the rice. So utterly delicious, healthy, and refreshing. This dish can be a complete meal on its own or with a side dish like Ayam Buah Keluak or Babi Pongteh.

The price per pax is ฿350.
