  Bad service over their decent food and ambience

  Booked via chope for 130pm lunch, only to realize they closes at 230pm, last order at 2pm. Whole experience we felt watched/reminded of the time. Especially by server Nazran. The others were fine. Halfway through our meal, he walked towards our table, checked his watch and walk off and mumble “left abit”. It’s not even close to 230 yet. We were dumbfounded. Though food was decent (not even hot) and great ambience, I felt it’s overpriced for their small portion. 3 small pieces of beef rendang for $30? For the price I’m paying, I should at least expect good service. Sorry, will not recommend or revisit.

  Delicious food in authentic surrounding

  Our tourist guide recommended to us this restaurant when she was showing the city and the interior of the restaurant as an example of the local Perenakan culture. We reserved a table the next day and did not regret it. The food has some extremely taste flavors that were new and unusual to us. We actually liked the efficient service. The lady from the restaurant gave us good advice and explanations how to eat some food. She explained for example a separate spoon was given to eat the black nut from their signature dish of the restaurant - the black nut chicken. The interior is very special and creates an ambiance. We have spent an excellent evening in the restaurant.

  Impatient waiters, have had better Peranakan

  The restaurant team was constantly rushing us to order, finish and leave when we arrived at 8pm. The result was an extremely chaotic atmosphere and we could not enjoy the meal in peace. The food was acceptable but we have had better Peranakan. The interior is fascinating but a little claustrophobic, it felt like a heritage museum with slight hoarder inclinations.

  Delicious

  Not sure why so many bad reviews. The food was nice and authentic. They even made it less spicy for my colleague. The recommendations for the “Fish stomach curry” was great!

  Disappointed

  We wanted to eat authentic Peranakan food and I remember eating at True Blue 15 years ago. I recalled that it was good food, ambiance, and experience so I was hoping for the same.
  
  Our experience last week was disappointing because we felt rushed to eat and leave, as waiters started to remove the table linens and turning off the lights. Our dinner reservations was late at 8:00pm. We should have been warned by the restaurant they close at 9:30pm. We could have made appropriate plans.
  
  The food was authentic but just typical. Unfortunately, many new Peranakan restaurants in singapore have exceeded the quality and flavors of this Michelin claimed restaurant.
  
  The staff, service, ambiance and location are very good and special with the exception of the above observations.
