Tasty and flavorful - Edit
It was my first time ordering from this restaurant and it was great. I love Peranakan cuisine but very difficult to find a place serving the dishes for vegans and vegetarians. We ordered the Tok Panjang Bibik set for 6 of us - more than enough for 6 hungry guys.

Best peranakan vegetarian food - Edit
The Peranakan is not a vegetarian restaurant per se, but they have an intensive vegetarian menu both ala carte and sets. I like that the dishes are flavorful without being salty or over seasoned. They used traditional mock meat on some dishes though, something for improvement.

Pricey for meh food - Edit
I brought my family to eat here; I had very high expectations and hoping to impress everyone with the vegan offering because of the high ratings. I am sorely disappointed, the food was just meh compared to all the veg food I've ever eaten and it costs 48-68 per pax...crazy! I could feel their disappointment at the value of what was paid. Will not come again.

Vegan High Tea - Flavourful and Beautiful - Edit
I tried the vegan high tea set at The Peranakan during a 50% off promotion.
Read moreThe main was dry laksa, which consisted of chewy yellow noodles with a deep spicy seafood aroma topped with a firm but bouncy prawn. This dish was impressively realistic and was the star of the show.
The savoury platter consisted of petite servings of a variety of Peranakan dishes.
Nasi ulam: Spicy herbal rice. This dish was not sufficiently fragrant in my opinion.
Kueh pie ti: Delicate shell filled with juicy stuffing.
White bread with hae bi hiam: The pumpkin floss did not successfully mimic hae bi hiam as it was not spicy and lacked a seafood aroma. Nonetheless, the pumpkin floss had a satisfying crunchy and powdery texture, such that this dish was reminiscent of meat floss sandwiches.
Popiah goreng: Crispy deep fried spring rolls with sweet vegetable stuffing.
Mutton rendang kongbak pao: Soft steamed bun topped with a spicy stew of potatoes and mock meat.
The sweet platter contained an array of Peranakan desserts.
Pulot enti kelapa: Glutinous rice with crunchy grated coconut. This dish was somewhat bland for a dessert.
Kuih kosui: Chewy and mildly sweet gula melaka kuih.
Apom bokwa with pisang pengat: Rice flour cake sitting on a pool of creamy sweet gravy made from banana, gula melaka, and coconut cream.
Apom balek durian: Traditional pancake with a tastefully sweet durian paste.
Durian pengat: Dainty cup of a mixture of two types of thick durian paste with rich complex flavours. We saved the best for the last!
Overall, the food was flavourful and beautifully plated. The restaurant had a nice ambience with intricate flamboyant decorations. There was also a small shop and museum gallery.

Not great value for its price - Edit
The ambience of the restaurant is pleasant - in a typical Peranakan style.
Read moreHowever, I found the portions fairly small given the price they charge.
Love Hut in Joo Chiat or Whole Earth are better options to try Peranakan dishes.

Delicious! - Edit
I’d give this restaurant 5 stars, but the app isn’t letting me since it’s not fully veg. The restaurant has a separate veg menu (I believe all vegan?) and the food was really delicious. It’s a beautiful restaurant with a lot of character, and the staff was very friendly. I’d definitely come back!
Read morePros: Lots of vegan options, Great atmosphere, Friendly staff

Peranakan Food - Edit
This spot has a secret vegetarian menu which is also vegan and which is not printed out. The server was so friendly and nice and although I asked for the vegetarian menu he was hip enough to warn me about dairy in the cabbage soup broth. Love the fancy decor. Seems like a nicer place but also fun music playing. I asked for the menu and he wrote it down. I asked for further description as I’m from the US and had no idea what the dishes were. He was happy to explain.
Read moreI ordered the Lemongrass and pandan hot tea pot to drink, a dish described as having a coconut paste that was highly recommended, and ladies fingers in a brown sauce. Ladies fingers are a green vegetable.
The coconut dish turned out to be dumplings. Really loved them. The lady fingers turned out to be okra with a sweet and savory sauce topped with shallots. They also have spring rolls and a variety of other sauces you can choose from. Eggplant and okra can come this way but you have to order them separately so you don’t get a variety of vegetables.
Pros: Very friendly service, Great atmosphere, fun, Feels like a local experince
Cons: Veggies come separately
