Crazy Rich Asian is all the rage. And we can't help loving the fancy dinners with the classy decos, especially during the festive season. We were at The Peranakan the other day, and it ticked every box on the checklist for the X'mas/ New Year/ CNY party.
- Convenient location - Orchard checked!
- Value for money - Checked, doesn't leave a big hole in the pocket!
- Delicious food - Checked, it will leave you craving more!
For Christmas only, you can try out the Christmas menu (S$68 pp or S$88 pp with drinks pairing). If you love the food there already, you will be happy to know, this menu pretty much include all your favourites, but presented in a more westernised manner.
Presented from top to bottom, left to right, this is the course of the meal. The heibi hiam (spicy prawn cracker) will be served to every customer, not just the xmas menu. FYI, this was darn incredibly awesome, you need it to be served at your on home every CNY!
- Three prawns in nonya sauce - You will get to taste 3 sauces, one in the sweet, spicy assam, another in the curry and the last in a simple salt and chilli sauce. The sauces were so good, I actually couldn't pick one over the other.
- Ngor Hiam - Believe it or not, that's the portion for one. So much right?!?
- Roasted Turkey Breast (Choose one of the mains) - you have to choose this. This is a X'mas special and I swear that the turkey is so tender and yummy. It is probably one of the best I have tasted (better than the carving stations)
- Stewed Pork Belly in spice (Choose one of the mains) - This is a peranakan-style satay. As compared to the turkey breast, I think it is not as amazing. But still a pretty good dish.
- Durian Pengat Custard (Choose one of the desserts) - I only tried this because I was so full after the meal. But please pick this, this is to die for. The D24 durian was so amazingly fragrant and smooth. And it is presented so cutely too!
- Drinks (Kir Nonya and Vodka Baby Blues) - Both drinks had the blue pea flower as part of its ingredient. If you want to taste more of the flower, pick the former. :P
