In its new, larger premises set amidst the lush greenery of Dempsey Hill, Candlenut continues to serve up contemporary Peranakan cuisine that preserves the essence and complexities of traditional food, with astute twists that lift the often rich dishes to a different level.

Diners can expect classic Peranakan dishes for lunch and more contemporary choices for dinner. Prices range from $14 for the Bakwan Kepiting Soup to $32 for Westholme Wagyu Beef Rib Rendang. For those who prefer to leave it to the chef, opt for the 'Ah-ma-kase' tasting menu for dinner at $118++ that includes signatures such as the Red Lion Snapper Fillet with Black Green Mango Sambal and Ginger Flower, and the King Tiger Prawn with Fresh Chilli Sambal and Charred Garlic Chives.

To complement its diverse food menu, Candlenut has a specially curated collection of champagnes, wines and craft beers from countries such as Italy, France and Germany. (Jul 2018)

"The food is also a reflection of Lee's deft use of ingredients from the South-East Asian pantry. Our wing bean salad is a refreshing crunch of red radish, prawns, cashews, lemongrass and crisp anchovies, all tossed in a zesty calamansi lime dressing. The sweet flesh of perfectly grilled king tiger prawns is complemented by a coconut sauce that is given extra depth with the addition of caramel-edged gula melaka." -The Peak Singapore
