继续吹娘惹风

Went for lunch with my biggest boss and my 2 姐妹s... He drove us to Keppel Club for peranakan food @ PeraMakan, which was featured on tv before for its desserts. Surprisingly the place was bustled with the lunch crowd even though the club is not accessible-friendly.. seems like everyone caught on the 娘惹风 after the show (not me though, I din watch).

Here's my lunch menu:

Ayam Buah Keluak

Nonya Chap Chye

Nonya Assam Fish

Bakwan Kepiting

Cincalok Omelette

Sago Pudding with Gula Meleka & Fresh Coconut Milk

Verdict: The food is quite nice.. wanted to say 'especially which dish' but I think again, all the dishes I tried are equally nice. For the Ayam Buah Keluak, the ayam (chicken) is nicely flavoured and tender but I don't like the buah keluak, which is like a hard nut and what you eat is the dug out 'mud' inside.. kindda disgusting and the taste is weird. As mentioned, this restaurant was featured on tv for its desserts like chendol (where the green jellies are freshly made), durian puree (made from top grade durians), nonya pancakes with warm banana sauce, etc. Prices are pretty reasonable too... though I don't have to pay... heh

Before leaving the restaurant, saw this lady who was just trying too hard I think... wore a nonya kebaya top with jeans.. trying to look fasionable but so NOT nice.
