Candlenut: A Taste of Modern Peranakan Perfection

Candlenut is a Michelin One Star Peranakan food restaurant. Address - 17a Dempsey Rd, Singapore 249676 Ambiance/Facilities - It is situated within the very nice and fancy Dempsey hill area in Singapore. The restaurant ambiance was great and interior design is nice with traditional lanterns and peranakan inspired decorations. Highlights - I ordered the set lunch menu in order to have a taste of signature dishes. I like the Bakwan Kepiting Soup (rich chicken broth with chicken and crab balls), Udang Cili Garam (Prawns) and starter dishes like Kuey Pie Tee. Didn't enjoy Babi Pongteh as there was a strong pork smell. Avg. Price per Person - S$108 onwards for set lunch Rating - 7/10. Modern take on peranakan food but my personal preference is still the traditional flavours which pack more punch. #eatlikealocal #deliciousfood #100waysoftravel #travellerswonderland #singapore #peranakan
