Peranakan and More
Looking for somewhere to take your visitors that offers local and Asian food but still has familiar Western options for those who are faint of culinary heart? Here’s a varied buffet selection that includes fresh seafood, a carvery, plenty of Southeast Asian dishes and Indian, Japanese and Chinese stations. Best of all, you can sample authentic Peranakan (Straits-Chinese) dishes such as ayam buah keluak and poh pia. The desserts are amazing – we tried the light, whipped durian pudding and licked the bowl clean. Adults pay $45, children $22.50.
